Les Creations de Monsieur Dior Diorling Dior for women

This is pure leather to my nose! Soft sensensual leather with peachy tones. The fragrance starts loudy, crystal clear with sharp juicy bergamont and flowers on the background. Soon, citruses disappear, and the smell becomes smoky, with a fantastic note of rotten fruits, like Dior's perfumes from the past days... This is the time for delight. It smells amost vinage. Yes, I agree to Henriette, as I would believe that I have a vintage perfume also. Flowers, patcouli, that odd fruity note and soft leather are combined to a unique elegant lady like smell. The wonderful heart lasts very long, and hour after hour, the leather tries to be the only star. And manages to be at the end. The perfume's dry down, is absolutely leathery, almost to the masculine side, deprived of the other notes. Still nice and interesting though...

Maybe I'm immature, but someone just wiped a dirty dishcloth on my wrist. Ew!

I think Dior was born with the heart of God. Otherwise It's impossible to know so well and beautifully what women really want. Incredible mixture, Goddess blood!

I tried this on today (5.16.12) at Saks. The top notes are beautiful. I detected the bergamot/rose/jasmine.
The dry down on my skin is leathery, but the patchouli/musk/moss/vetiver softens it.

The base notes in the dry down are nice, 3 hours later, but the leather is a tad masculine.

I tried this scent today (05.16.12) at Saks and it is very, very nice. It is a wonderful, sophisticated fragrance. I love it, but it reminds me in the dry down of Tom Ford's Arabian Wood. Although I love Dioressence, I have to say I prefer Arabian Wood.

I still may purchase this fragrance. I wonder if this is what inspired Tom Ford..ha...I must be dreaming because Tom Ford does not need inspiration, right? Mr. Ford would not admit to that.

I think it did heeheehee.

I get this very loud strong sweet floral opening, at the same time there's something a little acrid and sour in there. Then it becomes a softer version of what I just described. gets weak so fast, made me nervous how long the leather would last once it appeared and how strong it would be. Well, I shouldnt have worried at all because the leather never showed up! Where's the leather? There is no leather. If there is leather in here, I'm the queen of england. This is horrid, I'm going to return it asap. If Diorling and I were back in high school, I'd have her head in a toilet every morning. Why? because she's a rotten no good phony floral traipsing around like a leather lol. Go back to the cheerleading squad, Diorling! (the name of this scent should've totally tipped me off) I am very curious as to what vintage Diorling smells like, but if it's at all like this reformulation....I will pass.

Bought today and love at first sight. Well, I am fan of this kind of perfumes so I am very partial. The opening is very flowery, very elegant and little by little the flowers leave space to woods and finally leather paired with a little bitter note. But both the woods and leather are tamed by the initial flowers which have not gone away but only hidden. I can't tell about the original Diorling, if somebody told me this is the original formula I would believe without hesitation as the spirit of the scents of that time has been totally preserved and not destroyed as in other reformulations. I am happy that Diorling reappeared again after years of oblivion and I do hope also Dior Dior will resurface soon.
