One fragrance that is almost 70 years old and has become not just a favorite eau de parfum, but also an important part of the elegant and luxurious image of many women around the world is Miss Dior. Reviews have recently been very controversial, but this is due to an increase in the number of fakes due to the high popularity of perfume. Since the creation of the fragrance, many variations have been released. This article will tell you how to choose among them the one that will become your favorite and be the original version.
Christian Dior business card
Thinking about the fact that perfume plays an important role in creating the image of a woman in addition to clothes, the famous fashion designer wanted to try his hand at a new profession. The experience turned out to be very successful: this is how the visiting card of the Christian Dior fashion house appeared - "Miss Dior". He received the most flattering reviews from women and men and, despite the fact that more thanhalf a century since the creation of the fragrance, it remains recognizable and associated with luxurious classics.
According to men, this chypre-floral fragrance is well suited for spontaneous young girls, adding mystery and grace to them. This perfume will appeal to those who love classic perfumes: a wayward, but at the same time unobtrusive smell. The advantages include durability and versatility of the fragrance: it can be used at any time of the year both for evening outings and for business meetings.
Disputes about the modernity of the fragrance
It is impossible to create a fragrance that everyone would like without exception, so "Miss Dior" reviews are not only positive, but also negative:
- someone thinks that this perfume is already outdated and good only in combination with a retro style;
- it scares others away with its severity and is associated with loneliness due to the presence of oakmoss in the base notes;
- not on every girl it is fully revealed;
- some of those who fell in love with this fragrance at a young age, later stop using it, because it is associated with the past, which cannot be returned.
Despite this, most women who have tried it consider "Miss Dior" an expensive and luxurious fragrance, which, like classical music, is beautiful, but not suitable for everyone.
Updated composition
In 2012, a new version of the fragrance was released, no global changes occurred, as it was planned onlyto make your favorite smell brighter, more saturated and relevant to the present time. But, unfortunately, the version of "Miss Dior Perfume" has become too modern. Feedback from women who did not like the variation of the fragrance says that it has lost its individuality and has become similar to many others, and the black ribbon used in advertising has acquired the meaning of depersonalization, rather than adding mystery. Also, in their opinion, the smell quickly bothers, and you can’t use it all the time: it’s only good for an evening out.
But the elegance, sensuality and femininity inherent in any Miss Dior fragrance remained, and women who do not like the fragrance to be recognizable began to buy it with pleasure. The new fragrance "Miss Dior Perfume" has positive reviews, because:
- the smell of tangerines in the opening notes uplifts the mood and is associated with the New Year;
- then the fragrance reveals the fragrance of roses;
- thanks to the combination of amber, patchouli and vanilla in the base notes, a harmony of sophistication and languid sweetness is created without cloying.
Such a fickle version
The most popular version was released in 2005 but lasted only seven years. During this time, she has managed to radically change the composition and design more than once, so the reviews on the version of "Miss Dior Cherry" are very contradictory, and it is not always clear which variation is meant. Initially, the distinctive feature of this perfume was the smell of caramel popcorn. In 2008 came outtwo versions with a modified composition: one with the smell of bitter orange and neroli, and the other with the scent of peony. In 2010, "Miss Dior Cherry" becomes even sweeter, adding notes of freesia, pralines and lilies of the valley. But already in 2011, the fragrance ceases to be so cloying and becomes similar to Chanel "Coco Mademoiselle". In 2012, all versions disappear from the market, and the "Miss Dior 2012" appeared, which is very similar, but does not have the original strawberry notes.
Miss Dior Cherry was originally a fruity-chypre fragrance, but the floral version of Miss Dior Cherry Leu became the most popular due to its light, fresh and cheerful scent, despite its simple composition: orange in the top notes, gardenia in the heart and white musk at the end.
Juicy variation
Another successful chypre-floral variation was released in 2012 - "Miss Dior Fresh". Reviews of women who have tried it note the following nuances:
- at first, the eau de toilette may seem strict due to the abundance of citrus fruits in the top notes, but, opening up, the fragrance warms up thanks to gentle noble jasmine and feminine gardenia;
- the sillage from the fragrance is average, felt at arm's length, but if the room is not ventilated, then the smell fills the entire space very quickly;
- the new version is lighter and more refreshing, but still not suitable for the summer period: due to the patchouli in the base notes, the smell becomes too sharp in hot weather;
- the smell is fresh, sunny and sensual at the same time, the best season for it is spring, and in winter the smell is more strict and does not fully open;
- use constantly for more than three months does not work: the aroma bothers and becomes boring;
- many people like the smell in the bottle, but often it sounds completely different on the body and clothes, the patchouli scent becomes too intrusive or does not open at all.
For lovers of peonies and not only
The version of "Miss Dior Blooming" turned out to be very tender and airy. Reviews often contain the phrase that this particular fragrance can rightfully be considered the best of the entire line. Initially, it was created as a variation of "Miss Dior Cherry" for the Asian market, but after a successful premiere, it appeared on the world market, and in 2014 it completely became an independent toilet water. The fragrance itself is associated with spring for many, but it is also great for the summer.
There is no sugary caramel and cherry in this perfume, it stands out among other versions with the smell of delicate flowers - peonies, roses and white musk, and the composition opens with a cheerful mandarin.
This variation has become the easiest and most romantic of all "Miss Dior". Reviews of those who have tried it note the following points:
- the fragrance is best used during the day, great for work: unobtrusive, airy and elegant;
- simple fresh floral scent for every day in the warm season;
- in the aroma at the beginning there is a lightsourness, which does not spoil it at all, but rather makes it interesting;
- the smell is uplifting and energizing in the literal sense: it turns out such a kind of aromatherapy.
How to become the owner of the original version
Very often the joy of buying is replaced by disappointment due to the fact that the fragrance is not as persistent as desired, and over time it completely changes the smell, but the main reason for strange metamorphoses: the perfume turned out to be a fake. And then it begins to become clear why versions and bottles change so often: this is one of the ways to protect those who choose Miss Dior perfumes from fakes. Reviews recommend:
- before buying a fragrance, find out which version and the corresponding bottle design are currently relevant;
- remember that a low price is the first sign of a low-quality product, good perfume water cannot be cheap;
- bottles with large volume: 75 or 100 ml, counterfeited more often;

- original versions cannot contain any typos;
- the barcode of each country starts with certain numbers, for example, for French perfumes from 30-37;
- to avoid disappointment, it is better to shop in trusted stores that have documents confirming product quality.
Perfume or toilet water

What is she - Miss Dior
