Miss Dior Eau de Parfum (2021) by Dior
Amber Floral
Francois Demachy
I have been a fan of Miss Dior fragrances since I don’t know when. Miss Dior Cherie with the popcorn note was great. I also liked Miss Dior 2017 and its flanker Absolutely Blooming. It has always been an orange-rose-patchouli composition, timeless and elegant for all ages. The perfumes projected and lasted and were highly recognisable. You knew that someone wore Miss Dior.
Of course, I was curious about the new 2021 formulation. The scent is meant to be accustomed to Southeast Asian women where the climate is very different to the European. A rebranding also played a role. Long story short I dislike the new formula. It is an entirely different fragrance. Nothing I know or remember about Miss Dior.
The punchy citrus and patchouli are gone. We have iris instead which brings a lot of powderiness, an indifferent heart – a weird mixture of fruits and flowers and a ton of vanilla in the heart. Light powdery vanilla with some florals if I have to classify it. Not unpleasant but totally uninteresting with no kick. I felt pretty dull when I made this a scent of the day.
I thought I was going to be different and would not enter the wagon full of haters but as you can see I joined the critique discourse of Miss Dior 2021. I am sorry, this blog is about sharing my experience with fragrances which of course can be subjective but with Miss Dior, it is what it is. I really wanted to like it.
