My favorite perfume ever! It is such a pity it was discontinued! The very best of Dior! It is so fresh, optimistic and chic! I wish they could recreate it! Please Dior! Christine Nagel! Please make it again! It is unforgettable!
If anyone in the US is interested in my bottle, feel free to message me.
A fun fruitchouli that smells surprisingly fresh. In a way the top & middle notes of Miss Dior Cherry remind me of a much posher and more natural smelling Rouge Trafalgar. However, the drydown turns not so pretty to this rather cheap masculine, plasticy and thin wood.
Cherie 2005 is a very chic Parisian fragrance. It is a youthful, delicious, delicate and uplifting. This is vintage, and with it comes a different kind of quality in perfumes that true perfume enthusiasts are longing for. I was intrigued by the popcorn notes and was worried it would smell somewhat like the modern gourmand fragrances such as Sol de Janeiro Ceriosa 71 (caramel and macadamia) which I could not tolerate on myself. It is a relief to know that Cherie has no distinct (smack in the face) caramel note of this kind. What I smell is fruits like strawberry, cherry, mandarins with underlying sweetness. It might be popcorn notes emerging through the fruit notes but the entire composition is so well balanced that this definitely smells like a beautiful young woman wearing French perfume in a cinema, where you can feel a delicate popcorn aroma wafting in a distance. It is not over powerful and does not trigger headaches. Patchouli is elegantly blended with all other notes. I can see a similarity between Cherie and Chanel Mademoiselle, but Cherie is much more delicious, playful and youthful.
If you also miss the original Miss Dior Chérie with its irresistible cherry liqueur, caramel, and elegant chypre character, please consider signing this petition to show Dior how much this fragrance still means to so many of us. Every signature helps demonstrate that there is genuine interest in bringing this beloved masterpiece back. Thank you for your support! Petition: https://chng.it/qrwnX6WBCq
Need your help! The owner of "Dapper Fragrances" said he would bring this fragrance to this back to library of frags, if he can get 100 people to say they want it back. The petition starts now! Please help to show him that people crave this scent and hate it's discontinued!
What can I say? I think the hype got to me tbh, its good and I'm sure if I got when it was released I would have loved it as much as anyone, but it's not THE holy grail for me. It smells like if you mixed coco mademoiselle and the 2024 miss dior parfum, which are both great, but the price I paid for these is not justifiable for the enjoyment I get from them. Also my skin eats up patchouli no matter how strong the perfume and I can't smell it after a few hours. I have two bottles that equal about 100ml combines, if not more, PM me if you're interested.
Someone should just ask Christine Nagel to recreate something in this scent profile for the Hermès Twilly line at this point.
I wanted this fragrance so bad when I was in my teens!! I was IN LOVE with it's scent! So sweet!! It's was delicious!! When I finally was able to get it, it was reformulated. I remember my mom gifted me the 2011 version. I was 19. Still love that version. It was more mature and sophisticated that this one. But still younger. Anyways.. I'll forever dream of having this one
Today it is slightly soapy on me. And fruity at the same time. Cherries, strawberries, amber. An old birthday gift that never fully satisfied me. I wanted it, it was a love at first contact. I used to feel popcorn in it and dirty, sticky strawberry lemonade spill that was spoiling my enjoyment. Very young and fun. Today it is clean on me, so the effect changes with every wear. Clearly Dior's answer to Coco Mademoiselle. From this family Miss Dior edt is my favourite and 2017 version an abomination. I also like Miss Dior Parfum. It is very close to this premiere edition mixed with the edt. I still quite love it. It lasts all day with private scent bubble. And I feel it next morning with its gorgeous, juicy-floral self with a hint of popcorn.
To recreate this beauty..... the closest I've come is to layer these two: First spray on Vivamor Caramel Pop, very lightly....then on top of that layer on Montale Rose Elixir. 💕💕💕💕 Enjoy 🤗 Update: in a perfume decant, spray in a few sprays of SDJ 71, a few of Vivamore Caramel Pop, and then a good bit of DUA Miss Class. Let it sit for a few days. And Voila! I really want Dapper to recreate this one!
I think of her day and night. In my desperate attempt to recreate this beauty, I layer a cheapie dupe oil off one of those sites online with Rose elixir and the latest Miss Dior perfumes (the sweeter one). It is far from what I remember Cherie smelling like yet still.
A loss from which I may never recover!!! Perhaps I am biased to this fragrance due to the time in my life that I wore her and her alone and went through countless bottles never betraying her!! I didn’t have a large collection back then. I could not afford multiple fragrances and would ask for this for bday and Xmas. I was in my early 20s and life was very exciting and this beauty was a part of it! Would I feel the same love if I smelled this gem for the first time now without its ability to evoke the feeling and memories of my younger years? I don’t know. But I know I’d still enjoy it. Much like who I was when I wore her, the scent is young and carefree. She is playful and a bit flirty! Incredibly feminine and sweet, greeting you with bright sharp strawberries swirling with tarte cherry and sweet pineapple. Behind those notes the Carmel popcorn adds a warm slightly savory component that grounds the sour fruits. Patchouli and a faint touch of soft florals anchor it all down creating the loveliest girly, sweet and sour concoction!! I have found fragrances that are similar but they lack that special something that This version of Miss Dior Cherie offered. The next couple versions Dior replaced her with honored the vibe of her after that they went off track completely and while Ive enjoyed other versions they lost the spirit of the MDC completely. The 2024 Parfum seemed to want to go that direction and while I like it, it isn’t nearly as good and lacks that special kick Miss Dior Cherie offered. I hope someday they bring it back, even for a limited time. Update: I have kept a tiny mini bottle of the Original Miss Dior Cherie on hand to smell when I need a dose of nostalgia but I don’t wear it as its just to keep as a collectors piece. But recently I got a decent deal on a half full size bottle of Miss Dior Cherie with the original label printed directly on the bottle. For being nearly 20 years old it still smells really nice and just as I remember. I’m so glad to have a bottle to wear tho I will likely ration it! One of the things I love so much about this fragrance is just how perfectly the notes hit, sure there are similar fragrances especially from the era Miss Dior Cherie came out but to me this is my Goldilocks version of Chypres! It’s just right! Sweet but not syrupy, bright but anchored, youthful but not juvenile, playful but chic, nothing is overwhelming me or too heavy but it is still potent and noticeable. I truly have never found a fragrance in this category that hits so perfectly for my taste and I have looked for years! Also I see some reviews on this page of dupes that are reviewed as if they tried the actual authentic Miss Dior Cherie. I have tried most of the dupes, including the ones mentioned and they are similar but don’t have the Goldilocks effect of the actual OG to me.
I hate to be brutal but for me it's just generic. There's nothing that wows me about it
Opens very medicinal and dries down plasticky on me.
Smells youthful, playful, and subtly gourmand. Feels flirtatious and joyful — like a fun date night where everything feels light.
Disclaimer: I have the Oil Perfumery version of this, which people say smells almost or completely identical to the original. I've never smelled the original from 2005. I was sooooo let down by this. The reviews make it sound like it was the best fragrance of all time. I opened it in huge anticipation and...loud, cheap, fruitchouli bomb! It's so unrefined and trying too hard and cloying, suffocating, all the things that you think of when thinking of heavy, old-style perfume. I absolutely hate it. I'm currently letting it macerate and trying to gaslight myself into liking it, but I doubt that will happen. I was actually just at an Ulta the other day and smelled the current Miss Dior and it smells loads better than this mess, although it's not really my style either. I wish I could smell the magic that so many people here smell, but this definitely isn't for me.
They should just bring it back.
Listen to me! Go to Oil Perfumery online and look up Miss Dior Cherie and you will get their oil perfume for $15 that smells EXACT like this!!! I have it and I can’t believe how they did it. It’s IDENTICAL. You can even buy thrift large size bottle of oil to refill your smaller bottle but the small one lasts a very long time. Again IDK how they did it but they did.
Reviewing this scent makes me feel a little guilty knowing that it's nearly impossible to find but it's so worth it and not leaving my feelings about this scent when I've written more for perfumes I don't even own also seems unfair so here goes: I own a 30ml bottle of this and I'd sell a kidney before having to get rid of this one. It's the perfect fruitchouli that all the designers took a stab at in the '00-'10s. They never got better than this one, and I don't know what was in the pipes they were smoking down at the Dior lab but shame on them for completely changing the formula to this more times than I can count. It starts as a smooth strawberry patchouli blend, the strawberries are ripe and juicy, the patchouli is green and clean smelling. There's no chocolate or earthiness to this one, it's the sterile kind kept in a glass specimen jar in a lab that I happen to prefer. In the background there is this airy sensation that you may not pick out if you didn't have the influence of the notes to guide you, but luckily we do. It's the smell of walking past a buttered popcorn machine in the mall. You get the whiff of something delicious but it's in the background of all the other smells, it's not in the forefront. It teases your nostrils and makes you toy with the idea of purchasing a bag of popcorn but you decide against it as you walk into the doors of a recently stocked Victoria's Secret and make a bee line for the body mists. You pick out Strawberries & Champagne and a zebra striped push up bra and get your 3 gifts with purchase. You leave and decide you do want that popcorn after all. You're walking towards the metal box of airy yellow buttery corn puffs with your shopping bags in hand, life is good. It's the opening scene of Legally Blonde in perfume form: Elle Wood's hair would've smelled like this 100%. I can't be without her, I'll mourn the day when and if I ever have to.
Hated it when I bought it four years ago, still hate it.DEFINITELY NOT for me.It is spicy,warm to a point where I can't even call it cozy.It is a nightmare if you over spray it.I mean, it is a nightmare on its own but still.I am white as paper and blonde, this is NOT for my style AT ALL.Ended up giving it to my mother but she never used it.It smells like an over sprayed auntie at Christmas .A headache. I smell the caramel and rose A LOT and I hate it.I hate it so much.
This was my baby girl 🍿🌹 Caramelized rose with a statement. Very sweet and feminine, but bold for it's time. Christine Nagel was ahead of her time with this one. This was my high school experience in a bottle. She was there through a thousand tears, heartbreaks, joys and adventures. I envy those who can find their old signature scent today to get those memories back.
I have some left of this formulation on a 5 ml mini size bottle from a miniature set. I don't use It I try to keep It intact so I can confirm that no other Miss Dior reformulation smells like Cherie. None, zero. Dior keeps launching these miss Dior reversions which have nothing to do with either the original Miss Dior or the subsequent Cherie reformulations now turned into/renamed as Miss Dior. I have a 50ml bottle of the 2013/14 version and it's a note by note copy of Coco Mademoiselle, smells "similar" to Cherie but not sweet, its floral and Patchouli. Francois Demachy was only hired to destroy Dior's greatest compositions, Christine Nagel my queen, you never dissappoint.
(I believe pros and cons are AI generated:)) I miss my Miss Dior Cherie so much, it was so special, a little fruity with its strawberries and a ittle green and woody and of course the popcorn was like the best part. The newer versions of this in the Miss Dior are also good but just lack a little something for me, not as unique. I also like Armani Sí and they´re in the same chypre family and somewhat similar but not very similar to me. Very nice girly fragrance but not too sweet, Christine Nagel is a good perfumeur
Who writes the pros and cons list? A unisex scent everyone will love? Please. My man better not be smelling like caramel, strawberries, roses, and popcorn.
Very very sweet, caramel covered fruits, and a hint of patchouli. It’s warm, feminine, youthful.
Of all the perfumes I've ever tried, this one I miss the most. The dry down gave me the most exquisite warm, caramelly yet subtly fruity fragrance. Remembering how I left it on my dresser at my parents place and it dried up to a few ml in the summer - devastation when I found out it was discontinued and the new versions just not the same at all. Dior please bring this formulation back!!!
Dior please bring this composition back seriously so many people are begging to have this beauty back in their daily lives. So house of Dior take inspiration from houses such as Jean Paul Gaultier and Saint Laurent which are bringing back their cult fan favourite classics back . My fellow Miss Dior Cherie lovers we need to start a petition.
I also have a newly opened and sprayed bottle of this from the 2008 batch.. Batch code is 8U04 .. from the time they added the rectangle label in pink! If anyone is interested in taking off my hands .. it was also only sprayed a handful of times! It will come with original box and everything still in perfect condition! Can send pictures and communicate the rest further if serious buyers!
