âThe first time I smelled this perfume I felt that it is very strange, but in few minutes I started to feel how good and very unique it really is. I cannot compare it to any other fragrance.Unfortunately, the sillage is very weak and it doesn't last for long time. So, if you are intending to get a perfume with strong sillage and long lasting, this may not be the best option for you (especially with that high price relatively).â
âPerfect signature scent. Light, buttery, slightly woody and silky smooth. Very very soft fragrance not necessarily in projection but In how easy it is to wear. I cannot imagine offending anybody with a scent like this. Projection is soft to moderate and this lasts a good 7 hours before becoming a skin scent. The main thing I smell on the opening is woodsy notes however these mostly dissipate leaving a beautiful buttery iris note. Iâm very impressed!â
âIve loved this for a long time and I just picked up a bottle but the performance and silage on the new formulation is horrible, especially for the price tag. I didnât realize it smelled like Bois dâ Iris until someone pointed it out below and it does smell quite a bit similar. Bois dâIris is cheaper and stronger but very heavy on the woods. I do prefer the light and fluffy touch that the Dior brings. Dry woods with hints of Iris and vanilla - truly a masterpiece.â

The clone performs reasonably well in longevity (6-8 hours vs original's 8-10 hours) but lacks the delicate iris nuance and subtle complexity of Dior's composition. Paris Corner's interpretation skews slightly warmer and less refined in the mid-development phase.

Sillage
The clone performs adequately in longevity and projection but lacks the sophisticated creamy quality that ambroxan brings to the original. Dua's interpretation skews slightly more woody-green rather than the balanced silvery-luminous character of the authentic Dior.
