Eau Svelte Dior for women

I was told by the lady on the Dior counter that this body treatment had blackcurrants in it and if you notice, the top of the bottle is the same colour as a blackcurrant..sort of.

So, imagine my surprise when I find that blackcurrants aren't even mentioned in reviews of this fragrance as I think they are most prominent.

I thought it had been discontinued but, happily, it is still around, and, like Aroma Tonic by Lancome, is high on my list of 'must haves' for 2013!

Fabulous for wearing on a hot day, does not change in the heat. It seems to cool the skin makes me feel fresh. Packaged well enough to keep in a bag for top up sprays. More of a body spray than a pulse point only perfume. I would say its a good standby.

This was my first ever fragrance that was recommended to me in a department store in Jersey, Channel Islands, when I was on holiday there in 1995. It has just been released and I was 13. My Mum told the SA she was looking for a really light eau de toilette that would ideal as a first perfume for me and this is what we decided on. I'm not sure if it used to be an eau de toilette and then it changed to a body treatment fragrance but there are reviews on the internet from 4 years ago saying it's been discontinued yet Boots are still selling it today in the UK. It's the epitomy of a skin scent. A slightly floral citrus but in a clean fresh way rather than a sharp lemon. Just smells really clean and delicious and light, as though you've just stepped out of the shower. I think I will probably buy another bottle as the smell is so nostalgic for me and I am off to Jersey for another holiday next month so it would be nice to have this again!
