Les Creations de Monsieur Dior Diorissimo Eau de Parfum Dior for women

Diorissomo by Dior is one of the most discretely but decidedly sexual of all scents.

It is a great mass of aldehydic muguet, the parfumeurs’ sleight of hand for the seemingly innocent Lily of the Valley.

But like the flower carried by wealthy brides on their wedding day, this scent conceals deeper and more animal pleasures beneath its surface of propriety and cleanliness.

A lasting tonal green escorts the fragrance though from a brief citrus opening to a floral heart that contains the signature note supported by lilacs, jasmine and aromatic rosemary.

This being no tended flower garden but a wild forest floor, there are also aromas of wood and animals in amongst the undergrowth that hint at altogether darker pastimes.

This scent is a work of both art and artifice capturing the corseted sexuality of a swoon to absolute perfection, smelling salts and all.

However, beware, for Diorissimo is not for the faint of hearted, more for those prepared to lose their hearts.

It is the smell of lovers.

*************

It must be admitted that to many the muguet is a quintessentially feminine scent and as such many men would find it hard to even consider wearing this perfume.

I am not one of those men. I enjoy Lilly of the Valley scents, most of all in the morning, and would be happy to awake to find Diorissimo in my bed.

Diorissimo, hmm...
The muguet scent is detectable initially, (with a very strong alcohol scent, like ethanol) then the jasmine scent blends in, and the two notes stay on your skin for few minutes before they dissappear. Honestly, I do feel like, this is a 'muguet-scented' sanitizer. It doesn't smell medicinal, but the alcohol smell is deadly strong! Diorissimo, the juice deserves the beautiful and lovely decant, only if the perfume is renamed Diorisnomore...

Saks carries EDP online

can not find the diorissimo eau de parfum--will not where the edt--any advice for finding the eau de parfum or extrait de parfum? Merci!

This is strictly for EDP version of Diorissimo. EDT is sharper and somewhat different, I was not impressed with EDT.

Diorissimo EDP is hands down the best lily of the valley or shall I say it's the truest lily of the valley. I used to wear Lulu Guinness which has lot of lotv, but is sweeter and girlish and I grew out of it . Diorissimo is not sweet, it's fresh, it's dewy, it starts green and dries to white blossoms. To me Diorissimo is grown up, established, elegant, sophisticated, "respect me" lily of the valley.

I totally get it why it was Princess Diana's signature fragrance, these two were made for each other :) With appropriate outfit and occasion Diorissimo makes you feel like a princess yourself.

However, Diorissimo has one very big con - staying power. It's gone within 2 hours. I reach for it often, as it is my "I don't know what to wear today" scent and my bottle is getting empty fast. Oh well, but that's usually the case with these frag's you love, they disappear fast, but those you don't like, they linger there for 12+ hours (after scrubbing).

Diorissimo by Dior is a beautiful light floral fragrance. It smells like spring - lily of the valley and hyacinth. It makes me happy whenever I wear it. The only downside is it doesn't last very long...but it is beautiful while it lasts.

Lovely garden clean white flowers the lily-of the valley dominates but it does changes. Still a very lovely fragrance for day.
