Looks like I’m going to have to get my hands on both the PdT now that I read this review since I already am in love with the EdT. I can already hear the cries of my wallet…

Any idea where a girl can get her hands on a bottle of Villeresi?

Not a problem, I like it the same:))) Diorissimo is something I will always like I think, I loved it when growing up and still do. Making sure not to use it too often so I do not run out of it in case they stop making it. I prefer the heavier version so I am happy with this but I am sure the EDT is wonderful too for hot weather for example, I do not think I have ever smelled it though.

I’m so sorry but I don’t know. Apparently at some point they stopped making Esprit de Parfum and started making Eau de Parfum, but I don’t know when that was.

Oh, sorry, will look but thanks very much for your response Robin. Any ideas on how to tell from when in particular my perfume is? Again it does look a few years old but hard to say for sure. Just curious I guess.

See above…there is some discussion of the Esprit de Parfum here already. I think for Diorissimo, it is essentially the same as Eau de Parfum — that is, stronger than Eau de Toilette, not as strong as pure Parfum or Extrait.

I hope this is the right place to ask and perhaps one of the experts could respond. I received a bottle of Diorissimo, which I have loved since my childhood years. It appears to be old, not sure if vintage or what. I am confused though because it neither says perfume de toilette nor Eau de toilette, it is definitely the heavier version though in my opinion. What it says is “Concentration Proche du Parfum” and “Esprit de Parfum”, I am not sure I understand which version this would be, does anyone know or have heard of this version before? Perhaps it is because it says in French? Thank in advance for any responses and would definitely appreciate help. I can tell you more about the packaging if you would need more info.

Well, most of them have been reformulated too — IFRA has placed restrictions on the aromachemical these older scents used to create a lily of the valley accord. So I’d have to say no, you’re not going to find a perfect lily of the valley unless you like your lily of the valley very clean, in which case try Van Cleef & Arpels Muguet Blanc.

Robin, Diorissimo has been my favorite fragrance my whole adult life. However, it has changed in recent years. Is there any other fragrance that captures lily of the valley as beautifully as the original Diorissimo?
I very much enjoy your articles.
