This is one of the perfumes that Christian Dior has put out as if it were a trial balloon. It is true that the perfume has been something of a “hit and miss” job. There are times when it dazzles and there are those that are worried about the leather overtones that come with the perfume. However I still believe that that strength of the brand can still come to the rescue.

The Brand

The genius that is responsible for the perfume is Paul Vacher. The brand is very strong and points towards the fashions of the pre war and post war periods for the upper classes. Leather seems to be a running theme in the perfume. They are normally associated with the great stars of Hollywood of that time. It is a celebrity perfume but not in the grotesque way that we are exposed to in the modern times.

The Fragrance

The predominant flavor of the perfume is leather but you have to keep it one for more than twelve hours before you can get the hints of oak moss and patchouli. One might feel that the leather is a little bit too much but this is really the brand identify for the perfume and it would be such a shame if they lost that quality. For example we no longer need yet another floral perfume. It is nice to be able to sample something that is totally different.

The Packaging

This one of those packages that must be nice but it fails to touch the right buttons with me personally. I know that the companies have to come up with interesting ideas on a regular basis but it would be nice if they could be normal as well. The packaging on this one is nice enough but I am not entirely sure what they are trying to say with it.

General Customer Feedback

There is a feeling of awe when people are reviewing Christian Dior items because of the great reputation that the company has acquired and this is no different. However the consensus was that this was a perfume that did not disappoint from a brand point of view.
