I wore this today for the first time. It finally clicked, THIS is what lily of the valley smells like! Okay...now I now.
Soapy, almost like the bubbly part of Ivory soap that smells a bit like lye...at the edges a slight chamomile like floral. I recognize it as the smell of perhaps of US household cleansing products (dishwashing machine rinse aid?) but not in a harsh synthetic way but softer, pillowy, non-powdery.
It's been mentioned that Diorissimo has been tragically reformulated - that the original Edmond Roudnitska creation had an animalic tang to it that is missing. I can see what they mean. The only thing I smelled slightly daring was a hint of tuberose (or jasmine) indole. Not anything remotely animalic. Clean. Proper. Kind of like the origins of where Puro Lino and Clean Men started from.
It goes without saying that I would love to smell vintage juice. How does one tell they're buying vintage? The bottle shape / box?
I'm wondering do any of you guys wear/enjoy Diorissimo?
