“To me, this smells like a unique and cold gothic rose with traces of mint (might be the patchouli). I have never smelled anything quite like it. It is light and airy but distinctive, a fragrance that is more appropriate for night time but I like it, and since it is inoffensive, I wear it to the office.”
“Oh, please! bring this back! There is nothing alike...I have a reformulated 100ml bottle (gold letters). It is true that is a lot sweeter and weaker than the original formula (and I loathe Dior for doing such a thing to this masterpiece) but despite this it is still the most unique, dark, sexy smell. I love that camphor note it has in the opening.”
“After recently trying a bottle I’ve purchased with great difficulty and enjoying again the exquisite blend, I also tried to find a dupe. I ordered Belle de la Russie and tried many others, including Elle, and let me tell you wholeheartedly that Belle is by far the closest. I can say 95% which for me is a major statement. Also, at the price of it you don’t have anything to lose.”

The clone's citrus top notes are more aggressive and less blended, and the middle rose note reads slightly thinner compared to Dior's more voluptuous floral heart. Longevity and sillage are notably reduced compared to the original's 8+ hour performance.
