A perfect old favourite

One is never too old for Miss Dior. I bought it when I was first at work in London in the early 1970s. The fragrance appealed because it felt very grown up and slightly more subtle than some of the other fragrances I had previously. I still buy some from time to time and it always reminds me of the the journey through life we have been on together. A welcome old friend, I still feel good about myself when I wear it and the little touch of patchouli and sandalwood remind me of fun time without smelling outdated or old fashioned. I highly recommend Miss Dior if you love a touch of soft florals mixed with the musky tones.

Tips: Perfect for night or daytime

My all-time favourite

I have this in the 100ml EDP and I must say, what you see in the design of the bottle, with the bow on the cap, gives you an idea as to what the smell is like.

This is 'my' smell. I wear this all-the-time! I don't, however spray this directly on to my skin as it tends to dry me out, I spritz it in the air so it makes a 'cloud' then walk through it so it settles on my clothes instead.

At first it's super sweet and feminine, it's very light, not musky at all, and to me, this is what Paris would smell like if it were in a perfume bottle.

Throughout the day, I don't ever need to re-apply, as it lasts for hours, you still get subtle hints of it as you move about.

This is a beautiful smell, it reminds me of my OE in Dublin as I wore this every day, religiously, and it's where I first came across it. It's well worth the price, so I wouldn't hesitate to buy it when I run out.

So this is an all-time favourite, and will forever be a staple in my perfume collection.

Tips: I spritz this in my wet hair if I'm going to put it up without drying it. So when I take it out, it smells divine!

A beautiful blend of feminine floral magic!

I have recently purchased this perfume after trying a sample of it. I was very excited to finally purchase it, it is a beautiful blend of floral without being overpowering. It blends in well with my skin type, and is really long lasting. Once it has been on my skin for a while it has a slight musky scent that blends in with the floral. It is a really girly floral fragrance, unlike my normal fruity fragrances. The packaging is gorgeous! It looks lovely on my dresser. It's a lovely classic to have, and I will definitely keep this as part of my collection.

Tips: Match it with the body lotion and body wash to make it last longer

All In the Name

This is where things are going to get confusing:

The picture at the top of this review page is of Miss Dior (the perfume formally known as Miss Dior Cherie, originating in 2005)

The notes described at the top are of the 1947 'Miss Dior' which has no resemblance to 'Miss Dior Cherie' other than the name.

The 1947 Miss Dior is now known as Miss Dior Originale. It comes in a different bottle to the perfume formally known as 'Miss Dior Cherie'(now known as Miss Dior).

Like all other Dior perfumes, the notes themselves have also undergone change alongside the name change. When Miss Dior become Miss Dior Originale, the number of notes have been reduced. I can't comment personally on whether the 2011 reformulation/name change version(Miss Dior Originale) is similar to the old Miss Dior as I haven't tried this.

My review is of the bottle I own which was before the name changes (and therefore, it was still known as Miss Dior at this point and was pre-reformulations that occurred in the '00s).

Miss Dior (1947 perfume line) is a very old fashioned type of scent.

The oakmoss and aldehyde notes are strong in this, giving it a vintage perfume feel. The bottle itself adds to this idea of a scent from a bygone era with it's classic houndstooth design.

I can't say I find this stands out amongst other similar types of chypre scents such as Chanel Cristille.I think these just aren't really my cup of tea in terms of day to day wear, and so I don't have as much appreciation for the subtle differences in notes between fragrances in this genre

I do find that I prefer this to Chanel Cristille though when I am in the mood for something that feels old fashioned.

Tips: This is definitely a winter scent. It might be appropriate for day time wear, though it can be headache inducing if sprayed too liberally

I saw 4 different versions of this at the store and the lady confused me more by trying to explain the name thing! I didn't like the one I smelt, but everyone does, I was so confused! Must've been different one/colour!

Miss Dior

I recieved this perfume in a mini gift set with 3 other Dior perfumes.

Miss Dior was by far my favourite. The bottle is so cute and sweet especially in the small size and I loved the look. I also really enjoyed the size as it was small enough to fit into my makeup bag or purse for use away from home which was a plus.

It lasts mostly all day and was a scent I would wear on an everyday basis, I would wear it to school and eventually the smell just lingered on my scarf that I wore everyday so some days I wouldnt even need to apply as could still smell on my scarf from the previous day.

The scent was more of a sweet floral girly tones, but very fresh and feminine.

The price however is very high, I think its a good quality perfume and I really enjoyed the smell, however I wont be purchasing again due to price.

Christian Dior Miss Dior

I'm a sucker for a beautiful perfume bottle and this is gorgeous. The fragrance is so nice too and people often comment when I wear it. I got a bottle for myself and a few months later for a friend for her wedding day perfume. She loved it also.

Pretty, feminine, common

I love this light floral sweet fragrance - it's not too overpowering and definitely very fresh. The scent lasts well. It seems to be very common however, a few of my friends have it and I often smell it on the street - the fragrance doesn't seem to change much per wearer. I like to have fragrances that are a bit more unique!

Love love love

This is one of my all time favourites! I was given a little set of dior perfumes years ago and this was in there. I have been buying it ever since. I find it very sweet and girly. People ask me what I'm wearing all the time.

Beautiful

I received this as a birthday present from my boyfriend and it is just beautiful. I fin this to be quite a mature scent and I tend to lean for it mostly I'm winter. I find it lasts all day on my skin and I always receive compliments when I wear it. The bottle is so beautiful and feminine. I would recommend this perfume to women who enjoy heavier scents

Beautiful everyday fragrance

Absolutely love this. First time I have tried and I will not buy anything else. This is a beautiful floral fragrance which I often get compliments for. Definately worth a try. Worth the money.
