Miss Dior Eau de Parfum (2017)
by Dior
Miss Dior Eau de Parfum (2017) is a modern, youthful rose fragrance characterized by a bright citrus and pink pepper opening, followed by a soft, sweetly floral heart dominated by damask and Grasse rose. The aroma evolves into a refined woody base with palisander rosewood and patchouli, creating a balanced, slightly powdery sweetness reminiscent of rose jam or delicate confectionery. The scent is perceived as light to moderate in projection, with a pleasant, non-intrusive sillage that lingers well into the day. Pointed criticism centers around the perceived lack of character and complexity when compared to the 2012 version, with some noting it feels generic or overly sweet. However, the perfume is praised for its elegance, versatility across seasons (especially spring and fall), and its ability to evoke a romantic, fresh, and sophisticated impression. The formulation bears little resemblance to the older editions, which has divided fans, yet continues to garner admiration for its smooth, cohesive composition.
