Christopher Dicas Eau de Parfum Christopher Dicas for women and men

all i know is everytime i try to add my "information" about this fragrance which i have not tried the comment disappears

Dear stuartbr:

If you believe that 83 members of Fragrantica (meaning 83 different people) have sampled and liked this fragrance, then I think I need to create an award for naivety and give it to you! Also, I made it very clear that I am not asking for a free sample. Instead, I want just one of the major online reviewers to get a sample (such as someone at the Now Smell This blog). Many companies, including niche ones, give full bottles to these people. Did you know about that? They usually raffle them off after using a little, it seems. If this Dicas fragrance is as good as you say it is, wouldn't it be incredibly bad business for the company that makes it not to try and get one of the major reviewers to sample it?

You have right.Only 13 votes and 83 likes.You may know better all these actions...but let the ordinary consumers like us to have our opinions :-)

Hhhmmmmmm...I suppose it would be possible for someone to think they could advertise their perfume by creating a bunch of email and fragrantica accounts under different names, and then compare it to a bunch of other expensive well made perfumes. And look, though only 13 people have voted on it, almost every single one of them has pressed which notes correspond to this perfume (as I write this 11 is the highest number, which means 11 people would have had to press the prevalent notes button). No other perfume on this database has such a high correlation of response, as far as I can tell.
Doing such a thing would be dishonest, don't you think? I wonder why someone might resort to such a thing?

The problem is that:I think you try to have this fragrance free...and you consider yourself as the ultimate critic,and cancelling the rest of us.Look above it has 83 likes...It's very surprising for such a horrible perfume!I have spent thousand pounds for perfumes...not for samples like you.I like to have the real bottle with the real perfume...differently I could go to buy fakes...there are a lot of sites.So, respect my opinion, because I have it and it dries on my skin!!!

Dear stuartbr:

Thank you for that clarification. The "problem," if one wants to call it that, involves the high price. It is priced beyond retail designer fragrance levels, and most people go to their local department stores so that they can test designer fragrances before spending $50-$70 on one bottle. At the very least, don't you think it would make sense for the generous Mr. Dicas to send out a few samples to the most well known fragrance reviewers on the internet these days? This is what makes no sense to me. If I was trying to sell an expensive and great fragrance, I would send a sample to blogs like Now Smell This, or at least email them and ask them if they would be willing to write a review if I sent a sample. A simple google search would reveal many such fragrance blogs. The only reason not to do this would be that the fragrance is not very good, or at least not competitively priced for whatever it is, in my experience. I look forward to reading a review from at least one of these well known reviewers, but until I do I think I will remain skeptical.

I ordered from e-bay.

Deat stuartbr:

I would like to sample this fragrance, but I certainly hope it does not smell like "pure sex," as you claim. In any case, where did you try it? Can you provide the name and address of the store? Nobody is denigrating this fragrance, from what I've read, but some of us don't understand the comparisons and the glowing reviews, even though nobody seems to be able to tell us where we can try it or order a sample of it. If you don't understand why we find this strange and atypical of the industry, I think I may have to conclude that you are very naive (or that you are a "shill").

This fragrance smells pure sex and I don't change my opinion.I just cheched the ingredients.It's organic...You try hard all this time to discredit it, and I think I know why...SHAME to you.

Since when do D&G By Man, CdG Kyoto, and Clive Christian No. 1 smell anything alike?! (At the time this review is being written, all of those perfumes and more have been likened to Christopher Dicas in the "This perfume reminds me of" section). Who is the perfumer that created this perfume? I can't find it on the website...only that it is manufactured by N.W.A...whatever company that is. I have smelled hundreds, probably thousands of perfumes, and never heard of N.W.A. I wonder what other perfumes they manufacture.
Before the thread was erased, someone using the username Christopher Dikas wrote a "review" saying he bought the rights to this perfume. It is my opinion that this person is under the impression that having a perfume with their name on it, will help on the road to stardom. Interesting strategy, I must say.

I have no idea if this fragrance is terrible or great, but what appears to be the case is that there is a very strange marketing campaign, if it deserves to be called that, surrounding it. Earlier this week, all the review posts were deleted (and I know I didn't delete mine) and all the comparisons to other fragrances were removed. Now the same review posts that make this sound like the greatest fragrance ever made are back, along with comparisons to a bunch of expensive fragrances, some of which smell nothing like each other, in my opinion. I have been reading reviews on the major sites (like BN and MUA, later Fragrantica) and perfume blogs since late 2007, and none of the reviewers I have been reading during this time have reviewed this fragrance. Nor do I have any idea how to sample it, or what store sells it. I noticed that perhaps two or three weeks ago, on ebay, a seller bearing the fragrance's name, except in reverse order (last name is first), began to offer it As I am writing this, there is one available on ebay (50 ml size) for a buy it now price of $91 plus $30 shipping (or you can begin the bidding at $81).

I think that anyone who has sampled a huge number of fragrances, as I have, will wonder about the notes listed. What kind of sandalwood was used? How is the mastic handled (mastic tends to overwhelm the other notes, in my experience)? And what in the world is a "clothing of better quality" note? There are so many notes listed, several of them generally being very strong, it is hard to imagine how such a fragrance would not smell like a muddled mess. Still, I would like to be able to go to a store and sample it, and I'm sure others would too. Why isn't this person or company not sending samples to the major online reviewers? From what I understand, this is common practice (many seem to get full bottles!). It reminds me of movie reviewers who were irritated by not being allowed to see a film before it was released to the public. In general, that suggests the movie is not good and so it seems to be an attempt to prevent reviewers from being highly critical before the movie is in theaters. Since the fabulous Mr. Dicas has appeared on this review page before, I hope he comes back and tells us if he is going to send out samples to such people, for example, someone at the Now Smell This perfume blog (which I have no affiliation with whatsoever, and in fact my blog is obviously called BigslyFragrance).

A very rich fragrance, warm and woody. French lavender, slightly spicy. Elegance and style at its best. A great fragrance that gives a feeling of stability and solid experience to the presence of hints "classically." A superb interpretation worthy of a perfect British couple who express their passion for tradition, elegance, adventure, with a strong sense of humor and an obvious pleasure in the subtle, graceful transgression.

Christopher DiCas opens with spicy fruit-floral notes (citrus-rose-clove) that remind me of classic potpourri aromas — not the musty/dusty cheap-smelling potpourri one finds everywhere these days, but old-style ‘wet’ potpourri made with fresh ingredients: oily citrus peels, soft rose petals, pungent cloves and Ceylon cinnamon bark.This scent reminds me of that potpourri; its aroma is rich but clear; as Christopher Dicas dries down, I also smell mastic,spices, interesting musk (ambrette seeds?) and woods. This scent smells delicious, festive, and it’s almost “gourmand.”
