I'll let the experts chime in here. Luca Turin claims that the originally great Diorissimo has been defaced by reformulations. I smelled it last year in a shop (Saks in DC) and I did find it rather sharp, lacking the grace of real muguet. But I have not smelled the original version so I cannot compare.

Just confirming that one should absolutely avoid modern Diorissimo - it's not the same fragrance. Unfortunately Diorissimo has a tendency to age poorly and go bad or incur damage to the topnotes. If you're sourcing vintage bottles it may take a couple tries to find one that's truly very good.
