I’m absolutely in love with this one. This is a romantic floral based scent. The fragrance opens with the brightness of Blood Orange and Mandarin as the top notes. At the heart, Lilly of the valley a lightness to the burst of Grasse Rose. A base of Patchouli rounds out the fragrance.
I find this one to be very zesty on initial spray. The citrus notes hit you right away and give way eventually to the fresh floral notes of the Lilly of the Valley and Grasse Rose. I definitely get the Patchouli on the dry down.
Because this is an EDT you don’t get the length of wear that you would with a higher concentration perfume. It is nice but only wears for a few hours before it is very faint and you are only left with a dull base of patchouli. I know that this one is well loved in the fragrance community and I can see why. I absolutely love this one as well.

This smell is too musky for me.

A flirty floral that reads a little young with some citrus in the top note. I like it but don’t love it. I actually like the Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet (lighter and even fruitier) better.

I just bought my first flacon today of MISS DIOR ORIGINALE, in the EDT, which is, as you probably know, a current version of the original 1947 formula. By now there are so many flankers that one has to very carefully specify the !!OH-REE-ZHEE-NAHL!! if one wants the 1947 formula, then of course most modern department store SA’s have no idea that there had once been a Postwar New Look flavor of it. All they know is the cute cherry-vanilla-pomegranate version that Natalie Portman moues over.
By happenstance, I do indeed have a tiny decant here also of some real vintage EDT from the 1960’s. Yes, the two are different, and I cannot tell if it is because the 1960’s EDT has turned slightly, but the basic idea is the same: an impeccable, oldschool French green/floral/chypre. The vintage decant I have here is really strong on the herbality.. specifically a kitchen-y herbality in the drydown, that reminds one pleasantly of Mommy things like fines-herbes and poultry seasoning. The old version starts out vampy… then ends up not as bordello broad but as June Cleaver. I actually suspect the noses, Jean “Tabu” Carles and Paul “Arpege” Vacher, intended to make the drydown reassuringly domestic: a woman of Midcentury was to wear New Look to church, then come home and fix hubs some din-dins.
The current ORIGINALE EDT sails in on nose-prickling needles of stimulating aldehydes, galbanum and perhaps an astringent lemon-zest note, a head even more Cruella-de-Vil vicious than BANDIT’s; as that gauzy veil subsides, one gets an astonishing savory “protein” note; where DIORELLA merely hints at Tania Sanchez’s Vietnamese Beef Salad, MISS DIOR offers you the whole charcuterie. I am tempted to say that this “protein” note is derived from a confluence of Russian birchtar, with its let’s-have-shashlik note, and quite possibly some iris, heliotrope, turmeric and cumin? All the while, the lemony brilliance of the head peers over the New York strips.
The floralcy unfolds, all tart jasmine, creamy gardenia and narcotic, lowing tuberose, with a curious hint of dusty narcissus, with a salon-filling eclat that gives ALIEN and FRACAS a run for their money. Notes of cedar, sandalwood, patchouly, oakmoss and tonka arrive at the vernal picnic, with their promise of a chypre scaffold. The tonka note sings its little cherry-almond-tobacco alto through the dense, saged, all-but-opaque flowers. (Interestingly, I never get the “naughty knickers” note that many have claimed for MISS D.)
In time, the most handsome, tweeded woman arrives in blonde Hitchcockian chignon, and an unexpected, winsome neroli kisses her glacial hand. And there we have the majesty of the scent, the 1950’s “Ice Princess” in white gloves and a tightly woven, somewhat heavy and rigid, but immaculately suave and tailored Dior New Look suit, with patent leather spectator heels.
In farthest drydown the narcotic flowers and the poultry seasoning get married, yielding a fascinating, buoyantly luminous tart/savory accord that is like nothing like anything a modern Carly Rae Jepsen/Bieber fangirl would ever dream of wearing.
The ghost that lingers on your skin many hours later, is that note I so well remember from my childhood: my father’s secretary– surely the model for Joan Holloway, with her bursting poitrine, ample bottom, bakelite bangles and mile-high Titian beehive– was named Dolores… “Dolly” to 5-year-old me, who would sit on her lap, bury his face in her decolletage, and sing “Hel-lo, Dolly, well hel-LO….” She always gave off the most curious, savory dough like smell… not sweet like L’HEURE BLEUE’s Christmas Pannetone, but very very much like……. flour tortillas, fresh from the comal.
That intriguing, unmistakeably oldschool flour-tortilla note enchanted me then on Dolly’s white, powdered throat… and it enchants me, nostalgically, now.
This EDT is very strong, sharp and dominating; really, two spritzes is enough… Otherwise she will wear YOU.

When I was 16 my best friend got me the original Miss Dior Cherrie for my birthday and I LOVED it. It became the perfume I wore constantly and I repurchased it multiple times, until I ran out and realized that it had been discontinued (which broke my heart a little). After reading reviews saying that Miss Dior was basically the same, I got that and it is quite similar. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve been wearing it so long that I can notice the difference, because everyone says that it smells the same, but it is slightly off.
Regardless, I still love it (and I don’t think they’ll be re-releasing the Miss Dior Cherrie anytime soon, so it will have to do). The packaging is the same and absolutely gorgeous! I find that the smell lasts longer than the original, which is a bonus. It’s my go-to, everyday perfume and people tell me that it reminds them of me, so it has kind of become a staple. It’s got a sophisticated scent, while remaining super fun and it just smells like happiness. I definitely think it’s more of a spring/summer perfume but I wear year-round anyway. It is expensive, but I think perfume is one of those things you need to spend the money on so it’s more of an investment in my opinion. (Also, it IS Dior, so a hefty price-tag is expected.) While I’d prefer Miss Dior Cherrie (I’ll never get over it being discontinued), the new formulation is still fantastic and if I had to only choose one perfume to wear for the rest of my life – this would be it!

I love vintage perfumes, especially chypres and leathers. I have far too large a collection, but there was a Miss Dior-shaped hole in it. I’m a little surprised at myself that it took so long to get it, as much as I love Cabochard, Y, Azuree, Givenchy III…you get the picture.
This absence dates back to around 2000, when I first seriously started collecting and wearing vintages. I tried a huge spray of Miss Dior (before there were any Cheries or other flankers – this was IT) and recoiled. It was far too much of everything that my poor ignorant nose knew nothing of: oakmoss, bergamot, leather, powder-florals, patchouli – what can seem dated, and at the time that is the only aspect I saw of Miss Dior.
Last week I tried the current version, just to see – now called Miss Dior Originale. Wow. Even in its current formulation, what I now got was beautiful spare sophistication – filling my imagination with a sense of absolute elegance. When you take the lens of time and fashion from these older scents and experience them on their own terms, they have so much to give.
I’m now the lucky owner of a stunning vintage Miss Dior edt from the 80s – a new favourite piece of art in my collection.

This is one of my favourite perfumes. To me, it feels like the perfect middle ground for young but still sophisticated. To me, it smells a bit on the sweet side but not in an overpowering way at all like some strong vanilla perfumes out there. I always get compliments on this when I put it on and I actually love the scent at the end of the day just as much as when I first put it on. If you are looking for a sweet, but crisp, and young yet sophisticated scent, go pick up a sample from Sephora to test it out!

(I have the 2012 reformulation) I only get mandarin orange and patchouli from this. It’s on the sweet side, the artificial kind of sweet. Secretly, I was hoping for a more zesty citrus instead of the sweet one, which smells slightly fermented.
Still, I don’t dislike this perfume. The scent itself is nice. I would have liked it better had it been a little bit more brighter and lighter. It’s too cloyingly sweet for me now. This is fitted for cold spring days and winter time.
This perfume sticks around for a really long time. If I spray this in my inner elbows I’ll still be able to smell it over 16 hours later. Miss Dior does not fill up and take over a room (unless you overspray by A LOT), it sits rather close to the skin. Had it been less sweet then this would definitely have been a love.

I am not sure where this review should go : the closest modern rendition I believe is now called miss dior original.
This review is for the original Miss Dior vintage eau de cologne houndstooth bottle splash formulation with the houndstooth cap, not the white one. It’s an animal floral leather chypre. An acquired taste if you are formerly only familiar with modern chypre.
Bergamot, neroli, Galbanum, clary sage, gardenia
Aldehydes, rose, jasmine, ylang, orris, carnation, LOTV, narcissus/daffodil
Oakmoss, sandalwood, vanilla, laudanum, leather, amber, patchouli, vetiver
I listed the notes in comparison to Vol de Nuit composition, see my avon bird of paradise vintage review.
There is a spray bottle from the 1980s that is clear and fluted and has a metal cap. Sometimes the sprays are spoiled on the top notes, so I prefer splash.
Compared to vintage azuree and aliage, miss dior is subtle and melds into my skin. But it can only be called subtle relative to those two powerhouses.
It is also extremely animalic, so I find it almost funny that this scent was originally geared towards a debutante demographic and that, despite a resurgence of interest in Piguets Bandit, that people still characterize this type of fragrance as old lady.
To me, it’s aggressive, modern, original and could be easily mistaken for a niche brand. In fact, when I tried roja doves Fetish, a few weeks ago, I was reminded of old school chypre like Azuree or miss Dior.
I would want to give this 3.5 if that rating were available. 3 because I don’t see myself wearing this often. If your bottle is overtly fusty, musty, dank, or dark in color, consider whether it may have spoiled or oxidized with exposure to light or heat.

I love this perfume. I really, really do. This is what comes to mind when I think luxurious French perfume. It smells clean, powerful, and beautiful. I have read the many lamentations of the much-loved Miss Cherie Dior from 2005. I own that perfume as well and can honestly say that I prefer this one. Don’t get me wrong, I still like the previous one, but this is the more sophisticated and refined sister. Upon initial spritz I smell something reminiscent of Elizabeth Arden’s Sunflowers. Just for like a minute or two. And I’m not a fan of that perfume. After a moment I’m enveloped in a gorgeous patchouli/citrus harmony with a kiss of floral. Not flowery, just a perect blend of earthy and clean. As the perfume dries down, it becomes a more masculine patchouli scent that could easily be worn by men. Maybe that’s why I love this fragrance so much. It’s feminine and masculine which keeps me from getting bored. I think this one will be a classic and can see myself wearing this for years to come. Plus it has amazing lasting power especially for a toilette. Well done, Dior.
