Les Creations de Monsieur Dior Diorella Dior for women

Diorella is a very classic scent, you'd be hard pressed to find anything of this calibre in modern fragrances.

Typical of most chypres, Diorella opens with a citrusy and refreshing burst of Sicilian lemon and bergamot. Adding to the citrus is an interesting blend of green notes and basil which gives this fragrance a herbaceous like quality.

Despite this rather sharp and sour opening, Diorella is extremely feminine and balanced.

The top notes transcend delicately into the heart which is mostly subtle, green and slightly sweet honeysuckle, rose, jasmine and peach. After a while the heart takes on a clean and soapy quality which is a little similar to Miss Dior.

Rounding off this scent is the drydown which is rich, animalistic and woodsy. A masterpiece in my opinion.

Upon your first encounter with this fragrance it may not be love at first sniff, but like so many other Dior fragrances it will certainly grow on you. It's on my wishlist.

This is seriously sad...
terrible... The bottle is gorgeous, the juice is not.
It smells like any nice baby cologne in a great flanker.
Please, bring back the Diorella that I fell in love with...

I think it's this one that I just bought, since the original is discontinued, yes? The man at the counter said that one could only buy this at one store in Sweden(where I live) and otherwise in Paris, France. So us Europeans had only Paris or Stockholm, Sweden to choose from(unless you buy it online of course). Anyway, he sprayed it on my skin and he smelled it and said that my skin brought out the freshness in the fragrance and that on many others, it came out too "heavy" or strong. I don't know if that's just sale talk or not, but I liked the scent. I find it very hard to describe the way it smells, maybe some citrus, some fruit. It's a fresh scent. Can I just describe the emotions instead? The scent brought out a bubbly joyfullness and also mystery. It's like going to the circus during the day and see the clowns and bubble over with laughter and then in the evening/night, you are a mysterious person, wearing a black robe and dark glasses, sort of Ingrid Bergman. And this bubbly and at the same time mysterious person is one you want to know more about. That's how I felt about this perfume. I've never smelled the original, but I liked this one. It was one of the most unique scents that my nose have had the pleasure of smelling.

What a disappointment! This is not Diorella!! It's a rough copy of the original and wonderful Diorella!

This is not diorella! It is something such as a deodorant that slightly reminds diorella....I would not spend so much money for this!!

I wish Dior had relaunched the old Diorella, with all its notes, even if it was in a reformulated version. This is such an oversimplified copy that it almost brings tears to my eyes! And so terribly pricey! For me this is only a classier, greener Eau de Rochas, and I do like Eau de Rochas but I really miss Diorella’s subtle floral nuances :(

fresh, bright, breezy, summery, uplifting. Really lovely. would be suitable for men or women. Very cheerful! top notes strongly remind me of Eau Sauvage.

not terribly long-lasting & I'm not sure I'd want to spend £70 on a big bottle (I have a 7.5ml mini). to be fair, it did last longer than 'diorissimo'. maybe the sprayers are too mini on the mini bottles...

I don't know how close it is to the original as i've never smelled it , but this one is very pleasant summer scent.
It smells like Eau de Cologne , in a bit more sophisticated way however.
It smells classic , it's an everyday / office scent, very lemony , but not too sour . I bet some young trendy girl would call it "old lady scent" , i'd rather call it classical .
In the same spirit of Eau de Rochas and the Escales series also from Dior.

I was sceptical about EDT but lasts 4 - 6 hours so acceptable.
Follows the original but not complete mirror,less complex, more liner.Initial exposure remains constant.
Still very welcome.

Released here in Australia in time for summer.

However retail price of $190 for EDT is a bit cheeky.

Wish Dior had relaunched Diorling as well.
