Classic scent combo of
florals, amber, and ambergris. This is a reformulation of the classic
Miss Dior. Sadly, I don't have a vintage sample to compare it against.
Pretty, sweet, and a marked animalic flavor. Sophisticated, excellently
engineered, and ...assertive. Wear the parfum strength
only in case of life or death situations, national emergency, or
attending the board meeting from Hell. May have some effectiveness
against charging rhinos as well. I'm sorry, I have to stop typing and
scrub this off. I can't see the keyboard, my eyes are watering up too
much.I can taste it when I breathe thru my mouth.
Sampled at my local Sephora, which had it in stock for $90 (if you dare).
