I recently bought a vintage Le Dix perfume and i was sniffing it furiously, trying to think what it was that it reminded me of. I knew about the violets (LOVE violets!) but i was getting something else... totally different.. then I thought hold on, it actually smells like my vintage BdI perfume! I only get a whiff of the violets in the very beginning and then yep, creamy Bois des Iles... so i am not crazy! ..always good to know :-) Hi Angela, Thank you for pointing out the Bois des Iles similarity!

Maybe on a winter's night a little more sophistication in a perfume will be in order. You never know, though. Maybe on a winter's night a little more sophistication in a perfume will be in order.

It was only a little more expensive than a sample would have been, so I felt justified, even though I hadn't sniffed it. Am trying it today and will update with what I thought. I'm betting that my husband won't like it, though. He likes fresh, girly florals... sigh. I recently found a mini (3ml) of the parfum on eBay and snapped it up.

I hope you're able to find enough of it to last you! By chance, I wore the parfum version of Le Dix to bed last night. It really is wonderful. Well, that's just terrible news about Le Dix.

I wish your hope was true, but, alas, as far as I can tell, Le Dix is no longer being produced in any form (esp. parfum). I'm waiting (and hoping) for someone else here to tell me I'm wrong..... As far as the EDT and parfum -- I definitely notice a difference! For me, the EDT is slightly more bitter (if that's the way to describe it). The parfum, on the other hand, was richer, fuller, deeper, and is some way - a little bit more creamy. I recently found a small quantity of the parfum on eBay and won the auction. I am eagerly awaiting its delivery. The seller informed me that she was auctioning off an estate and had discovered several small bottles of the parfum, still in boxes. I purchased all of them! I hope they haven't aged. Anyway -- if anyone hears of Le Dix parfum being sold anywhere, please let me know. Thanks, Cassie Angela – Thanks for your comment.

I sure hope it isn't! Le Dix is one of the few cases where, at least it seems to me, the EdT is just as nearly as the parfum. Of course, there's always something wonderful about dabbing parfum.

I have been a fan of Le Dix since the mid-1970s, when a former amour brought it back from Europe. I especially love the parfum, but alas, I cannot find it (except occasionally on eBay). Can anyone confirm that Le Dix has indeed been discontinued? Love the description!

But I really like how it shifts from the crisp opening notes to the warmer dry down. I'd love to know what you think of it if you do get the chance to try it.
