Miss Dior Le Parfum

Luxury smells like Miss Dior Le Parfum. Deep, ambery base with smooth vanilla anchor florals so well blended that I cannot even recognize the rose. I marked it as good for spring, winter and autumn so I am wearing it today to verify. It might be too dense today. Too powdery-sweet. Evening in the opera, however? Yet I do not feel any discomfort in it on a sunny 14°C day. It is caressing and beautiful. Still, beautifully floral on a trail. Francois Demachy is my nr 2 parfumer and I will miss his sensual and voluptuous creations that play so well with my skin. Kurkdjain has clarity to his creations but is also more mathematical. My number one remains the similarly fancy Jacques Polge in whose creations I can bathe. But I must say - it lays close to the skin after an hour. I catch occasional wafts of it during a day but it is calm. Office safe, as it dries down to vanilla-musk-rose thats just aromatic and slightly powdery, floral and surely not too much, just a silent personal aura. Far from beast mode diffusion of L'INTERDIT by Givenchy. But lasts till next morning on my skin. I see how this is an updated classic but I would not call it a chypre or retro at all. It is contemporary. It is so elegant in every way. If you can still find a bottle, like classics and autumnal scents - I highly recommend to buy it.

Even though the notes are practically identical to those of midnight poison, miss dior le perfume is extremely different. It is much nicer. I never understood the hype over night poison, but I wish ld bought a bottle of this before it was DC

Saving my drops. A fantastic perfume, far from all the synthetic stuff sold today. A masterpiece.

HOW I MISS THIS. EASILY ONE OF MY TOP 3 FRAGRANCES EVER. WISH THEY NEVER DISCONTINUED IT. SILLAGE AND PROJECTION WAS HUGE. ABSOLUTE BEAST MODE.

Treasuring my last bottle of this and saving it only for special occasions, I love it that much. A true Dior classic with a rich, rosy character, though I’ve always found it hard to distinguish the individual notes from the overall scent it gives. It is best in winter, wrapping me in warmth on freezing days, like an invisible scarf. I also appreciate Dior’s signature bottle design, though I wish it couldn’t be mistaken for Miss Dior 2012 - the two scents couldn’t be more different. Le Parfum itself has the deep, golden glow of single malt whiskey, encased in beautifully polished glass. Hopefully, someone will still sell it once I'm done with my flacon.

I will never forget this. I bought a 30 ml bottle in 2020 when it had just been discontinued. Back then, before I got interested in perfume, I felt that it had everything: an opening of fresh, but sweet, citrusy rose jam, that dried down to the most delicious, slightly earthy combination of vanilla, amber and patchouli. It wasn't gourmand, but still smelled edible, somehow... like a sweet cracker, fresh out of the oven. Gorgeous vanilla. Gorgeous amber. Gorgeous patchouli. Years later, I have developed a taste for "the weirdos" and all I want to wear is Angel, Eden and Rush and perfumes like that - far from elegant like this one - but I'm floored every time I smell it. It's so beautiful.

I randomly bought this years ago on eBay when I was first getting into perfume for a good price not knowing it’s a bit rare. First spray I thought it had gone off, it smelled so old fashioned and I hate to say ‘old lady.’ It’s very polarizing. Since then I’ve come to love and appreciate it. I feel like it’s something those women at church dressed to the 9’s with big hats that match their outfits would wear. Definitely mature smelling. It smells like a super dense spiced, slightly aromatic floral amber. A bit of a Dune and La Baiser du Dragon vibe but more floral. I can’t believe spice isn’t listed as a note. I cherish it now and love it in winter on a cozy sweater.

Up close this smells closer to the original, 40s version of Miss Dior, but from further away in the air it's drenched in honey. I thought there was peach in this, and actual furry peach but there's not. Absolutely gorgeous blend of orange, rose, patchouli, vanilla and amber. This one has a bit of a fancy face cream smell when it dries down. Instead of the popcorn and caramel notes of MDC it has a drier vibe. I'd have sworn there was more notes in common with Miss Dior originale. Not as austere as the OG Miss Dior and not as fruity sweet as Miss Dior Cherie but just as beautiful. If Miss Dior Cherie is too girly for you then this is a more mature version. Again, Dior have gotten rid of a stunning scent. I regret not getting into the Miss Dior line until last year. Someone else further down said it reminds her of Tom Ford Vanille Fatale and I agree. Something about the not overly sweet vanilla has a ring of VF to it.

I purchased a bottle through a Facebook group and after trying one I have no love for this version to use, unfortunately. PM is interested in purchasing. With box and all!

I am a Miss Dior Cherie lover and all of the reviews saying this is nothing like MDC are true. I can't even detect a common DNA between both of them. The reason why I love MDC is because of its fresh, bubbly youthfulness without being immature and girly. Miss Dior Le Parfum is definitely more grown up. I'd even venture to say that "mature" is an appropriate word to describe this since there are sophisticated, grown up perfumes without feeling like it's mature. Now, as far as the scent. I'm uncertain which specific notes are contributing to this, but I have a strong suspicion that the patchouli is the main culprit. I'm not a patchouli hater, but there is something in this that makes it heavy and serious. It's got that kind of old school vibe like Shalimar. And the longevity of this is nowhere near MDC's. It basically faded into a patchouli (a bit cardboard-like) skin scent within 4 hours, which lingered into the next morning. I really wanted to like this since I have a nicely sized Miss Dior Cherie / Miss Dior collection, but this simply does not fit.

I really love it 🥰🥰❤️unfortunately I have just 10 ml of this beauty.

I’m selling my bottle. PM me if you’re interested

This is still the best version of ANY of the Miss Dior vintages and line up! I gave up for several years trying and trying new release after new release, each worse than the one before. This is the one that got away from me 🥹 If I had foresight, I would have bought numerous backups. Unfortunately at the time, I was fairly new to Dior and didn’t understand the range and couldn’t find the version I was in love with in store,, until after it was reformulated. In fairness, I don’t think the sales associate was well versed either. This version has depth from patchouli, sweet florals, a cosmetics counter powderiness, and an overall vibe of “Ladies that lunch.” It smelled super regal and gave constant compliments. You smelled like a lady that got things done, while maintaining her femininity. Now the 2021 EDP version is my second favorite. They finally came back to warm, sweet & powdery elegance.

It's been a hot minute since I last wrote a review, so let's see if I remember how... I love the Miss Dior line. WHOA, generalisation! Ahem - I love MOST of the Miss Dior line. MASSIVE lo❤es include: Miss Dior Cherie (2005), Miss Dior (2012), Miss Dior (2017), Miss Dior EdT, MD Blooming Bouquet (2014), MD Absolutely Blooming ...Heck, I even have some love for MD Roses 'N' Roses. The ones I don't have love for include: MD (2021) - don't even try and tell me it's just a "new interpretation of the MD line". It's not. It sucks. I'll die on this hill, Goddammit. And...this. I'm struggling to understand the love for this. I find it severe and wildly bitter. Reviews below mention 'balsamic" and "medicinal" and that's unfortunately what I get here. It's very harsh, jarring, and mature - not in the good way. I agree it's a warm scent, but it can also make me cough and my eyes water. You know, like being blasted by desert winds in a sandstorm. It does improve on the dry-down with a tiny smidgeon of rose coming through. But I mean *tiny*. Projection pretty good. As is longevity. I just...don't enjoy this. But more power to those that do. Even if I don't personally love this, I thoroughly understand the hurt and agony one feels when an adored perfumes gets discontinued. It's a tragedy on level with Macbeth. "Treason has done his worst..." *glares at Dior* Not repurchase-worthy. *** Kitty rating: 4/10.

I’m not a fan of the Miss Dior line , however this fragrance is beautiful. My friend who still has a bottle of this let me sample it , it smelt so good and I got a ton of compliments. I would love to add this to my growing Collection.

Balsamic patchouli & amber-forward rose scent. Quite vintage, but still has that distinctly sweet effervescence in the top notes I associate with the original Miss Dior. Love this scent in spring & autumn, I think a touch of external heat allows it to bloom as is intended. Big projector, lasts for ages on my skin (10 hrs+). Treasuring my bottle since this has been discontinued.

I don't understand the reason, but this reminds me of Tom Ford's Plum Japonais mixed with the 90s version of Tresor. It smells balsamic in the same way and somehow like medicine too. Reading the reviews I expected a more gourmand, thick rose and warm, dense amber, something maybe similar to Amouage Rose Incense, but more along the line of Miss Dior. Le Parfum did not deliver. It doesn't smell that opulent, there is something annoyingly like cough syrup about it, I wouldn't say it smells feminine too, more unisex. I blindly bough a full decant and regret that now.

Dior discontinuing this beauty is a crime I bought a 40ml bottle (the only size they had) back in 2018 and I still have a good amount left I only use it for VERY special occasions I'm so sad that I won't be able to buy a new bottle again

One of the absolute loves of my life ❤️

Miss Dior Le Parfum is my favorite fragrance from the iconic Miss Dior franchise. The composition of this elegant and luminous chypre-floral opens with an oriental, earthy, ambery, and enveloping patchouli, accompanied by an underlying freshness. Delicate citrus accords provide a very subtle sweetness, leading into a heart of dark rose absolute, opulent and intoxicating, caramelized in amber with powdery nuances (Bulgarian and Turkish roses), balanced and masterfully sweetened with vanilla. All these ingredients are complemented by balsamic and resinous accords that infuse warmth and sensuality into the drydown. The amber sweetness that remains on my skin after about 10 hours is simply exquisite! The diffusion and sillage are of high to moderate intensity. An olfactory gem that, unfortunately, is no longer produced. However, if you have the opportunity to try it and you're passionate about amber rose fragrances, don't miss it!

I had this when it first came out and just recently got another bottle. To me, this is a modern take on the classic Coco Chanel. This agrees with my skin chemistry better compared to coco. Both my mom and MIL wear coco and this is just different enough for me to get away with wearing it. My mom is a hairstylist and growing up I just remember getting in her suburban smelling like her salon and coco. Miss Dior smells like a friendlier coco and joico shampoo. Orange rose in the front, amber patchouli in the base.

I have one unopend bottle for sale if anyone is interested. Located in Denmark

This is too strong amber for me and It has a vintage feel. Should be very nice in the winter but I'm living in the warm country so I feel it's shame I can use it only few times of a year. It's not last long and not good sillage on my dry skin anyway it's beautiful frag.

10/10 😍 yeeees baby this is awesome The notes listed are so accurate, it smells exactly like what it’s supposed to be. It’s also gorgeous, rich (pretty heavy but never cloying) and long-lasting. Others have said it already, but it’s really like a ”modern vintage”, if that makes any sense. Yes, I also agree that after a couple of hours (on skin) you’ll mostly smell amber…which in this case is quite pleasant. On clothes however, it is truly eternal but be careful when spraying cause the juice is a bit dark. Since it’s discontinued, I would instead recommend Elie Saab Le Parfum Royal which has a similar vibe to it, but doesn’t smell identical to Miss Dior. Not as good but good enough.

This is an amber-patchouli bomb. I adore it, but if those notes aren't your jam, I wouldn't bother chasing down this one (it's currently very hard to find). It's definitely unique by today's market standards; the opening reminds me a lot of Chanel Coco EDP. Unlike other releases in the Miss Dior line, this one actually feels like a true chypre, with a decidedly vintage flair. I don't see lovers of Miss Dior's current formulation falling for this one - they couldn't be more opposite. While current Miss Dior EDP is a tame and ladylike floral, this is a voluptuous, spicy, oriental leaning concoction. Needless to say, it's potent stuff, better suited for evening and fall/winter. I wish Dior would bring it back, but the 75 ml bottle I have is probably going to last a good few years, because it's definitely a "special occasion" scent. It's so grandiose it feels out of place on mundane days. It has excellent projection (no need to overspray) and longevity (12hrs+) on my skin.

I have a full 75 ml bottle, batch code 6U01 pre reformulation (near Xmas 2018). Dense, voluptuous spicy bomb, exceptional sillage and longevity. It just doesn't work with my chemistry, devastatingly :( Anyone interested in it, pm guys.

I am wearing a 2013 sample right now gifted to me by a generous Fragrantican. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have the chance to enjoy this beauty since in some way I just couldn't get a full bottle when the fragrance was newly released. And now I learn that they had already "long" reformulated and then discontinued this beauty. It is utterly ridiculous that fragrances disappear in the next few years (tops) following their release. Actually even biscuits have a longer shelf life which will ensure their availability until the expire date... Anyway, Le Parfum opens up as quite similar to Coco Chanel EDP. But luckily for my taste, it then evolves to something far more round, balmy, soft, frilly and feminine... Le Parfum is more playful, still a "Miss" Dior, and not a grand damme. That said though, it's a "seriously" successful perfume... I am in no way underplaying it. Actually, it is something which can be directly compared to a classic like Coco! And I find it far more wearable -without migraine headaches- than Coco. It's upto you to decide to get a "modern vintage" bottle like from 2012 or not... I think I am enjoying what I already have and then moving on... to my biscuits!

My sister worked at the Dior counter when she was in dental school. One year for Christmas she gifted me a 40 ML bottle that I’m only now almost through. The idea of using the last of it was heartbreaking to me, so I went on the hunt for a new-old stock bottle, finally finding a pristine unopened 75 ML bottle. I feel so much better now. This is a love. It’s what I want perfume to be always and forever instead of in the unreachable past. It is dense, complex, sophisticated but utterly gorgeous. A heady, dreamy chypre that overwhelms and transports. Sexy and self-possessed, even somewhat witchy. In short, this is precious and special; if I find another bottle, I won’t hesitate to stock it.

I have half a 75 mill bottle for sale or swap nz only

This is a very luxurious amber vanilla with a rose 🌹 kick based fragrance. It’s gorgeous. However, I will say that this is more mature. I wouldn’t say it smells vintage or dated, but it definitely doesn’t smell like anything currently on the market. This is not in the realm of Dior poison girl, Marc Jacobs daisy, Versace bright Chrystal etc. This is more dense, more amber and the rose isn’t fresh at all. It’s warm and resinous. The citrus isn’t bright but more subdued. Not at all sour or punchy. Very discreet citrus I’d say. Ultimately in the dry down, you’ll mostly get a wink 😉 of patch, and loads of amber and vanilla with a small kick of rose. It’s like an inedible gourmand. You want to eat it but know you can’t. Very much a safe blind buy if you love amber, vanilla or both. Bottle is stunning with great weight, price can cost an arm and a leg with this also being RARE and a hard find. Longevity is great and projection is okay. A definite LOVE ❤️
