I love your description of the stages of Miss Dior! I feel that it could be applied to many of the “ladylike” classics:

First, you are hit over the head with PERFUME,
which transitions to “grandma” or old “duchess,”
and if you can bear this beginning, you are rewarded with a creamy, complex, elegant scent.

Alas, the first two stages of a classic perfume get many of us scrubbing! It is too bad that the modern creations don’t develop into something lovely, the longer you wear them.

My mother wore Estee when I was very young (she also wore Youth Dew and I begger her even as a child not to) and when she would put me to bed, she’d give me a soft, soft sweater that had her perfume (Estee) on it and I’d drift off so happily, it was lovely. Hmmm, the early makings of a fragrance addict with a strong predeliction for chypres. Anyway, I tried it the other day and it has changed greatly, terribly sharp without the lovely soft sweet drydown. Smelled terribly chemically to me. Sigh.

Hey, if you’re gonna be late to the party, be really late right?! Anyway, on a Dior kick at the moment and fished out my bottle of Diorella last night which underwhelmed me when I got it. Spritzed and went to bed. Woke up in nirvana. None of my Dior’s are vintage, but I only love the oldies from them and think “Cherie” a horrid, fruity sweet mess. Wearing modern Miss Dior as I type this and find it lovely and soft, it goes on sharp then transitions into a dowdy, prim and proper bore, and then gives up the pose to show its lovely, quiet, soft femininity, very lasting with moderate sillage. Glad I have it. Now, in spite of Angela’s (whose reviews I love) damning review of Diorama yesterday, I ordered it anyway and will provide my two cent’s worth when I’ve gotten it. Hopefully not three year’s after the last post! Buying unsniffed, right up there with tightrope walking . . . . keep your fingers crossed for me . . . .

You are so right. The older version is richer, softer. I bought the new version and was a bit disappointed. I would have paid extra for the real thing.

Miss Dior was and has always been my most favorite perfume and I have raised my two daughters to like it very much. That is one thing that my daughters told me they will always remember when they think of me. I was raised in the south as a teenager back in the 1960's when girls dressed well and were very preppy, pappagalo shoes and bass weejen shoes were the thing. the 1960's was very much a Ralph Lauren era for the south even before Ralph Lauren appeared on the scene. Just wearing Miss Dior brings back many memories of my dating days at UNC Chapel Hill North Carolina. It makes me feel young and innocent.
