La Collection Couturier Parfumeur Milly-la-Foret Dior for women

Again, I agree with "henri345que" and I would add that this is a more feminine and floral version of "Cologne Imperiale", so if the original is too citrussy or unisex, this one has more sweetness, florals and musk.

I reckon this could be a very good wedding fragrance or a gift for a young graduate for it is very pleasant, inoffensive, str8 forward and does not confuse or distract.

I can also detect a pleasant green note similar to "Cristalle" CHANEL (yet far less strong) that remind me of broken tulip stems or green beans.

If "New Look" is the more sophisticated business orientated and ambitious modern woman, this one is her younger, more naive, playful, frolic little sister, laughing and playing in the rosegarden (while big sis is small talking with the businessmen).

Very feminine and floral.

It's a citrus-blackberry-musk accord in the style of Cologne Mure et Musc by L'Artisan, Fraicheur Muskissime bu MPG (with less sandalwood) and Bouquet Impérial by Roger & Gallet. Like in the R&G it's the citrus aspect that dominates in Milly. Lovely, but we have seen this before...

To sherapop: I don't know, maybe you had a decanting error involved, cause what you described matches perfectly Grainville aroma, which is scented on pine and was designed to have this kind of forest aroma.

MILLY-LA-FORET and Cologne Royale are the two weakest fragrances on the Dior La Collection Couturier Parfumeur. Dior website says that it's inspired on one of the places where monsieur Dior used to go be away of the stressing moments, and that there he was surround by his favorite flowers. This is the excuse their marketing department found for this musky citrusy flowery confection, that doesn't have anything wrong, but anything great too that would justify it's place on an exclusive and expensive collection. Milly-La-Foret seems like a change of the common structure found in Cologne Royale. They keept the musky, cottony drydown, the citrusy, slightly minty opening of Cologne, and changed the heart using a light-green jasmine. And that's all your money will buy with 150 dollars 125ml. Seems more proper for a massmarket fragrance, but in a exclusive collection doesn't make sense.

Anyone who buys Dior La Collection Couturier Parfumeur MILLY-LA-FORET blind--or as a gift--thinking that this is a floral perfume is going to be in for a big surprise: this is a green! The only thing that persuades me to believe that there has not been a decanting error involved--a mix-up in the vials--is the name. This really does smell like a forest!

Upon initial application, I was sure that I was walking down a trail amidst the Rocky Mountains breathing in the cool crisp air as pine needles and twigs snapped underneath while moss cushioned my feet. Majestic evergreen and fir trees reached up into the blue sky as far as the eye could see. But no, the notes, according to Dior, are mandarin, neroli, and musk. Comment cela?

To me, MILLY-LA-FORET is a fairly linear green with an aromatic edge--and a nice one at that. But this is at least unisex if not masculine and not floral at all. Caveat emptor!
