About Dioressence
Dioressence Perfume by Christian Dior is a classic scent introduced in 1979, personifying the elegance and sophistication that the Dior name represents. This forever fragrance is mesmerizing with its exceptional formulation of elements, which was the inspiration of Dior's vision of sophisticated femininity and the classic attraction. Being one of the signature perfumes from the famous House of Dior, Dioressence embodies a luxury lifestyle and a timeless beauty, making it a classic piece for people who love the craft of perfumery.
Fragrance Family:
Chypre, Floral
Scent Type:
Rich, spicy, warm
Notes:
Dioressence Perfume opens with captivating top notes of aldehydes, greens, and citrus, creating a fresh yet enduring introduction that is both intriguing and vibrant. As the fragrance rises, the heart notes of orris root, carnation, patchouli, and rose stand for a warm floral bouquet, and the entangled hint of spicy earthiness that comes with it fortifies the note of depth and complexity. The base finally concludes the fragrance with the peaceful notes of oakmoss, musk, and vetiver, which in turn, leave a lingering and the additional classy element of comfort.
Suggested Use
For a scent that evolves gently throughout the day, apply Dioressence Perfume to pulse points such as wrists, neck, and behind the ears. For enhanced longevity, consider layering it by first moisturizing the skin or using a complementary scented body lotion to create a fragrant canvas that holds onto the aroma longer. This versatile fragrance is ideal for both daytime elegance and evening sophistication, enhancing any occasion with its classic charm.

My favorite scent
This is the most exquisite fragrance I've ever used. Lately, it has been almost impossible to find it anywhere, so I was glad to find it here, even though I had to pay dearly for it. It is just that there is not another fragrance that envelops you so sensually and is yet clean and fresh. Men always comment on how delicious I smell when I wear this perfume. It really is a magical scent. So I go ahead and pay the freight just to have the luxury of this beautifully feminine fragrance scenting the air around me.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Lifetime Favorite
I began using this perfume exclusively in the 1960s. Male co-workers often asked for the brand in order to buy for their wives and girlfriends....my own husband loves it to this day, fifty years later. I stocked up about ten years ago and scent is still just fine. Don't give up trying to find the original, it's still out there as far as I know and well worth the price.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

It is my understanding that the Dioressence that is being produced now is the new revised version. Having used this perfume for more than 20years and experiencing great difficulty in finding it in recent years I was delighted to receive a bottle from a relative from overseas. I had heard that the fragrance had changed and as soon as I opened the lid I could tell. This fragrance is pleasant but in my opinion absolutely nothing like the original. I'm sure other regular users would agree.The depth and muskyness of the fragrance has gone. Such a shame for the lovers of this fine fragrance. A classic that is no more. Dior have missed the mark here and it's really disapointing I'm sorry to say.

While I was working, this was an easy scent. It didn't "flow" into bosses office. I love wearing it for all special occasions, too. My boyfriend loves this. What's not great about it? It's not currently sold in stores!

The loveliest, most subtle scent
No matter how many different scents I have tried I always come back to this one. The only complaint I have is that the Dior is not smart enough to make it available. Over the 17 years of using it; it has become almost impossible to find. I bought my last bottle online here and pray you can come up with more.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
