Dior Cruise Collection was presented last year with the first "voyage" edition Escale de Portofino, which took us to Italian Riviera with its fragrant aromas, and gave us its citrusy-aromatic breezes.

A new fragrance arrives on the market in May 2009, exactly a year after launching the first edition.

Cruise Collection Escale a Pondichery introduces spirit of timeless colognes and takes us to a country of culture and urban, but simple and wearable, chic style. The fragrance incorporates black tea accords mixed with sophisticated and elegant Sambac jasmine, sandalwood and spicy tact of cardamom, seed often used to improve taste of tea and coffee.

Luminous breath of freshness is a true echo of aromas of Indian peninsula, which invites us to travel, be adventurous and relax. Fragrance Escale a Pondichery is available as 75ml and 125ml EDT. The nose behind this fragrance is Francois Demachy.

A real awful fragrance. I tried this on a paper in expectation of a lovely light smell. But huugh...awful. Powdery, sour.

A beautiful summer scent & a modern take on 70's citrus-aromatic classics.

This brings to mind a fresh & cooling gin & tonic with plenty of "ice & slice". Bitter (like the tonic) with an astringent quality (lemon peel)& is calming (tea) yet wonderfully saccharine-free.

There is a nod to older classics like O de Lancome but Dior has created a scent with a softer touch & a tender innocence. Uplifting but never bracing I would buy this scent in a heartbeat except it has such poor lasting power....which shocked me coming from Dior, the power-house of lasting scents.

My boyfriend's sister gave to me a trial of this fragrance. When I wore it I thought that there was lemon in it but it was the black tea which made all the difference!

So little ingredients, such a big fragrance for me. I just never thought that I would wear a fragrance with black tea extracts. Easy to wear when you're on holidays. Simple but great!

Just bought it!It's so great for the hot Mediterranean summer.It starts off as a citrusy smell, then turns to a jasmine tea essence.Really unique and different.In general I go for Dior perfumes and this one is reaaaaly good.

I'm trying to get used to it. It's very fresh and nice. A good choice for summer. But in my skin don't last more than 2 hours. Mayby that's why the bootle is so big!!!

I tried this one on today. It really smells like fresh grass and lemonade to me. Very sophisticated and very Dior. But somehow it's abit flat.

I tried it last night and I loved the smell. Its fresh and spicy at the same time. Very good aromatic blending of ingridients, I think it could be worn also buy the right type of men.

A scent to refresh you on hot days and warm nights, like a cup of homemade iced tea versus store bought sugary ones. As the first Cruise fragrance reminded me of Prada Infusion Iris, this reminds me a bit of Au Thé Rouge. (I mean they are in the same genre not that they smell alike).

The syllage is very good, not so sure about the staying power... but at least two to three hours on my skin.

A casual scent, both sofisticated and relaxed, and the botle is also very nice.

A very promising start, with fresh notes of tea, completely unisex. However, after a few minutes it becomes very sharp and bitter and it reminds me a lot of DKNY or Angel Schlesser pour femme (which also contains cardamom). That is the smell that finally remains for several hours. It wasn't bad at all, but I would have liked that the tea note were more emphasized. It is very cool, very clean smell and perfect for hot days.

I just bought this one and I'm loving it! I would classify it as a fresh sitrus fragrance with a twist;o) it's not just a ordinarry citrus-scent that you can smell on every other girl during the summertime. although it stays pretty mutch the same while youre wearing and it's not a complex fragrance,it really has some caracter! and stands out! to me it smells like sundrenched sweet lime with some spices on warm sandalwood.So appealing and sexy! I also think it's quite rich (as far as a citrusscent can be)! perfect for summerdays and nights,when you want to smell fresh, but not all that innocent ;o)

I like simple notes though I wouldn't suggest it as a hot summer fragrance. It's a bit heavy for me to wear it during the day. However for the evening to go out I find it super, new and sexy! Would love to have it.

It's fresh from the biginning,after while i feel warm of jasmin.I can love it.
It's a huge difference between Pondichery and Portofino.
Portofino was like a very strong hit of spicy,like for men-i don't like it,but Pondichery don't hit you.It's fragrance with space,what i'm looking for in perfume..and some warm.it's cologne for good way.

Quite simple, wearable, fresh cologne. Escale a Pondichery has soury tea dominant top note - tea similar to those we can find in Flowerbomb or Kapsule Floriental. Jasmine is not dominating but adding sweet floral color to it. Cardamom gives some spiciness to the tea.
It's perfect for hot days and is blended well. But that's not for me though, it lacks something extra for me- it's one of those you can wear for every occassion. Staying power is good. The bottle size is too much in my opinion- might be aimed for those who wear one perfume all the time in the row (or another after that).

I dont know about that one, it smells nice enough, but there is a sharp note in it, and it could very well be unisex..I am not into it, although on a hot day it would be refreshing. lacks some subtelty and femininity.
