One of the scents, which is almost 70 years old, which has become not just your favorite perfume water, but also an important part of the elegant and luxurious image of many women around the world is Miss Dior. Reviews have recently been very controversial, but this is due to an increase in the number of fakes due to the high popularity of perfume. Since the creation of the fragrance, many variations have been released. This article will tell you how to choose the one that will become your favorite and will be the original version among them.
Business card Christian Dior
Thinking about the fact that perfume plays an important role in creating the image of a woman, the famous fashion designer wanted to try himself in a new profession. The experience turned out to be very successful: this is how the business card of the Christian Dior fashion house, Miss Dior, appeared. He received the most flattering reviews from women and men and, despite the fact that more than half a century has passed since the creation of the fragrance, it remains recognizable and associated with luxurious classics.
According to men, this chypre-floral fragrance is well suited to immediate young girls, adding to them mystery and grace. This perfume will appeal to those who love classic perfumery: a wayward, but at the same time unobtrusive smell. The advantages include the persistence and versatility of the fragrance: it can be used at any time of the year both for evening outings and for business meetings.
Disputes about the modernity of aroma
It is impossible to create a fragrance that everyone would like, without exception, and Miss Dior has not only positive reviews, but also negative ones:
- someone believes that this perfume is already out of date and good only in combination with a retro style;
- he frightens off others with his severity and is associated with loneliness due to the presence in the base notes of the aroma of oak moss;
- not on every girl it is fully revealed;
- Some of those who fell in love with this fragrance at a young age later stop using it, because it is associated with the past, which cannot be returned.
But despite this, most women who have tried it consider Miss Dior to be an expensive and luxurious fragrance that, like classical music, is beautiful, but not suitable for everyone.
Updated composition
In 2012, a new version of the fragrance was released, no global changes occurred, since it was only planned to make the favorite smell more vivid, saturated and relevant to the present. But, unfortunately, the version of Miss Dior Perfume has become too modern. The reviews of women who did not like the variation of the fragrance say that it lost its individuality and became similar to many others, and the black ribbon used in advertising acquired a sense of depersonalization, rather than imparting mystery. Also, in their opinion, the smell quickly bothers, and you can’t use it constantly: it’s suitable only for an evening out.
But the elegance, sensuality and femininity inherent in any Miss Dior fragrance remained, and women who did not like the fragrance to be recognizable began to buy it with pleasure. The new fragrance "Miss Dior Perfume" has positive reviews, because:
- the smell of tangerines in the initial notes uplifting and is associated with the New Year;
- then the fragrance reveals the fragrance of roses;
- thanks to the combination of amber, patchouli and vanilla in the base notes, a harmony of sophistication and languid sweetness without cloying is created.
Such a fickle version
The most popular version was released in 2005, but lasted only seven years. During this time, she more than once managed to radically change the composition and design, so the reviews about the Miss Dior Cherry version are very contradictory, and it is not always clear what variation it means. The original distinguishing feature of this perfume was the smell of caramel popcorn. In 2008, two versions with a changed composition were released: one with the smell of bitter orange and neroli, and the other with the aroma of peonies. In 2010, Miss Dior Cherry becomes even sweeter with notes of freesia, pralines and lilies of the valley. But already in 2011, the aroma ceases to be so cloying and becomes similar to the Chanel "Coco Mademoiselle". In 2012, all versions disappear from the market, and the appeared "Miss Dior 2012" is very similar, but does not have the initial notes of strawberries.
The Miss Dior Cherry perfume was originally attributed to fruity chypre aromas, but the floral version of Miss Dior Cherry Leu has become the most popular due to its light, fresh and cheerful smell, despite its simple composition: orange in the initial notes, gardenia in the heart and white musk at the end.
Juicy variation
Another successful chypre-floral variation was released in 2012 - "Miss Dior Fresh". Reviews of women who tried it, note the following nuances:
- at first, eau de toilette may seem strict due to the abundance of citrus in the top notes, but when opened, the aroma warms thanks to gentle noble jasmine and feminine gardenia;
- the trail from the aroma is average, it is felt at arm's length, but if the room is not ventilated, the smell very quickly fills the entire space;
- the new version is lighter and more refreshing, but still not suitable for the summer period: due to patchouli in the base notes in hot weather, the smell becomes too harsh;
- the smell is fresh, sunny and at the same time sensual, the best time of the year for him is spring, and in winter the smell is more severe and is not fully disclosed;
- use constantly for more than three months does not work: the aroma bothers and becomes boring;
- many people like the smell in the bottle, but often sounds completely different on the body and clothes, the patchouli aroma becomes too intrusive or does not reveal at all.
For lovers of peonies and not only
A very tender and airy version of "Miss Dior Blooming." Reviews often contain the phrase that this particular fragrance can rightfully be considered the best of the entire line. Initially, it was created as a variation of “Miss Dior Cherry” for the Asian market, but after a successful premiere it appeared on the world market, and in 2014 it completely became an independent toilet water. The aroma of many is associated with spring, but it is also perfect for the summer.
This perfume does not have sugary caramel and cherries, it stands out among other versions with the smell of delicate flowers - peonies, roses and white musk, and the composition opens with a cheerful mandarin.
This variation has become the easiest and most romantic of all Miss Dior. The reviews of those who tried it note the following points:
- the aroma is better to use in the daytime, perfect for work: unobtrusive, airy and elegant;
- a simple fresh floral smell for every day in the warm season;
- in the aroma in the beginning there is a slight acidity, which does not spoil it at all, but rather makes it interesting;
- the smell raises the mood and energizes in the literal sense: it turns out such a peculiar aromatherapy.
How to become the owner of the original version
Very often, the joy of shopping is replaced by disappointment due to the fact that the aroma is not as persistent as desired, but eventually changes the smell altogether, but the main reason for strange metamorphoses is that the perfume turned out to be a fake. And then it begins to become clear why versions and bottles change so often: this is one of the ways to protect those who choose Miss Dior perfumes from fakes. Reviews recommend:
- Before buying a fragrance, find out which version and corresponding design of the bottle are relevant at the moment;
- remember that low price is the first sign of low-quality goods, good perfumery water can not be cheap;
- Vials with a large volume: 75 or 100 ml, counterfeit more often;
- printing on the packaging should be high-quality and clear, and not vague;
- in the original versions there can be no typos;
- the barcode of each country begins with certain numbers, for example, in French perfumes from 30-37;
- To avoid disappointment, make purchases better in trusted stores that have documents confirming the quality of the products.
Perfume or toilet water
The main differences between perfumes and eau de toilette are well known:
- different contents of essential oils;
- perfume aroma is more persistent;
- perfumes are much more expensive than eau de toilette.
Most often, Miss Dior eau de toilette is bought, this is explained by the fact that the fragrance is already quite persistent, some versions last longer than a day, so there is no point in overpaying. It is also quite difficult to find perfumes in Russian stores, but they can be purchased while relaxing abroad.
What is she - Miss Dior
Initially, Christian Dior dedicated the first version of the fragrance to his sister: miss in the name means a young unmarried girl, who, in his opinion, should be impudent, but elegant, feminine and luxurious. Those who tried the Miss Dior perfume often left reviews, highlighting precisely these features inherent in each fragrance from the line. Over time, “Miss Dior” has adapted to the desires of women: it has lost age restrictions and has become less sweet, but more refined and tender.
How any version on the skin of a particular woman will open and behave can be determined only by testing. Most often, about Miss Dior, reviews say that these are high-quality perfumes, enveloping with a wonderful aroma and uplifting, making a woman more sensual and refined.
