Les Creations de Monsieur Dior Diorama Dior for women

available here. Great creation! So Dior style! Love it.

In between Diorella and Le Parfum de Thérèse with Femme de Rochas' spicy cumin note. It's like a retrospective of all Roudnitska's creations.

That Roudnitska is a genius we already know. That you can buy his creations blindly is another truth. Obviously if you like his style which is elegant, refined, never too claimed, understated.
This scent is a powerful mixture of every nuance which can be found in a perfume: there are flowers, citrus notes, powder, fruits, leather. All so well balanced that one might wonder how this could be possible by a human. I really wonder if Monsieur Roudnitska was only human.
Wearing Diorama you have the impression of wearing Diorella (the citrus opening notes), Dior Dior (the exploding of flowers and honeysuckle coming from behind), Diorling (the powder and leather notes). The fruits is the new note, the innovation in this wonderful scent from the range of the other Dior's masterpieces I have listed here. Among the whole of Dior's range this is certainly the best creation in my opinion, it sums up what Dior used to be, what elegance was, what a classy woman anchored to the past but with her eyes to the future should wear. Incredible scent, just in between past and future, perfect if you love the vintage feel and the modern trend. Unbelievable.

So this must be what I tested in Saks today, this and Diorella. One was very herbal, this must be it. Neither made much of an impression, very lightweight fragrances, not much silliage or thrilling notes. I thought Dior carried both a "regular" version and a "Les Creations" versions, but these were all I saw. I'll have to search for the vintage versions, if I can find them, they must better than these.

This is impossible to find. I wonder how many bottles were issued.

I had been thinking for a while that I really should write a few words on this site about Diorama "in memoriam". Then I came across this "re-issue" - or is it a reformulation?.

I wore Diorama EdT from the late sixties until it was discontinued. The happy bergamot was definitely there with the first one or two sprays, but Diorama quickly made sure that you were aware of its chypre, woody heart. Yes, there was a little lingering jasmine later on, but I can't say that I ever smelled a peach, a plum or a rose in it. A very little, even EdT, lasted a very long time, but like all the Diors it was not brash but complex and sophisticated. I kept an empty bottle for years and years afterwards. I am intrigued and would love to try this new Creation.
