Dia pour Femme (for women)

BethAshley

This fragrance starts out soapy and a few hours later becomes almost dusty smelling. I agree with Megansmoms' assessment of it smelling like an expensive rose soap. This is most definitely for a mature woman. It's a good quality fragrance, but I'm not a fan.

I agree that this scent is soapy....like a very high quality and expensive rose soap, used by a mature (not old, just mature!) lady. Very nice, but I was really only happy with the drydown, as the musky base melded with the rose. Pretty, but not pretty enough to spend this kind of money on anything but a sample!

True it is a little like Chanel no5 but much cleaner. There is no doubt the roses are there and it is not too heavy.

I found Dia rather "perfumy" and not something that I would ever actually wear... leaving aside the ridiculously high price of it. Sure, it's composed of some beautiful and expensive ingredients, and certainly the beautiful bottle is worth something on its own. But it reminds me somewhat of the menu at a restaurant where the chef is so impressed with the fancy ingredients available that he keeps creating dishes too rich to be really enjoyed. Having sampled this Jean-Claude Ellena creation before trying some of his other, more characteristic creations, I was surprised at how light and effortless they seem, compared to the lush density of Dia. It's almost rococo in its style, very decorated.

This is a beautiful scent, but it's too much for me, in several senses. If you don't mind spending an arm and a leg, and your personal style is ornate, it's probably for you, and you will definitely smell wonderful.

I had high expectations of Dia, given the untouchable beauty of other Amouage fragrances, such as Lyric.

On me, the aldehydes, rose and peach strike a soapy chord, somewhat pleasant for its nostalgic associations. I'm reminded of Ma Griffe and other scents worn by grown up ladies in lipstick, scents which remain in my mind unidentified but indelible. Paris and Chanel No. 5 may be Dia's less distant cousins, not in note-for-note matches, but in general mood.

AFter some time, I detect Dia's orris and woodsy base chiming in, but too softly for my taste.

This fragrance is ultra expensive. I recommend sampling and comparing to other soapy mixes before committing to the purchase.

wonderfully warm and clean at the same time, dia will be something that makes you enjoy yourself. it is a fragrance that will make you feel worthy...
it's the way you would round up a perfect bathing ritual, not just an easy shower. it is true that Dia is daywear, but is has the sophisticated elegance of a perfect pearl or white soft gloves. for everybody who likes to celebrate the art of femininity every day after day.
