Christian Dior Diorissimo For Women. Eau De Toilette Spray 3.4 Oz

`Diorissimo' by DiorI have used Diorissimo fragrance all my life, and this will seem like a secret confession, and it is. No other scent compares with it, and my guess is that there never will be. This creation by the famous French fashion designer, the legendary Christian Dior, is an incomparable masterpiece. The essence of Diorissimo is natural because the fragrance is derived from a tiny - but magic - flower, Lilly of the Valley, and it evokes a scent so real that it is like burying my face in a bouquet of these freshly picked flowers.Once applied, the scent remains the same and does not change with time. Unlike other fragrances, once it is sprayed on it does not change but stays fresh and pure. Although luxurious, it is also surprisingly "wearable" and is suitable for evening occasions because of its sophistication and elegance. In addition to these features, it is so light and subtle that it can be used during the day. Also, it is heavenly enough to be worn during hot, summer weather. Diorissimo is wonderfully refreshing.The story behind the creation of this scent is exceptional and unique. To defy impossibility, Dior capitalized upon his obsession to be creative. He set out to make a noticeably distinctive scent and to contain it in a bottle. His life-long fascination for this inimitable fragrance came from this inconspicuous little flower which was a favourite of his. Dior planted Lilly of the Valley profusely in his garden; his house was filled with vases of these delicate little flowers; and he even wore them pinned to his lapel. Later on, he made this flower an emblem for his Parisian fashion emporium and requested in his last will and testament that his coffin be covered only with Lilly of the Valley.The creation of this fragrance happily fulfilled his ambition because its inimitable scent miraculously achieved what Dior desired. He loved it and thought it to be the most exquisite of all his perfumes. Because of this, he called it "Dior" plus an ending of "belissimo" - an Italian expression that means "the most beautiful".Diorissimo was not only loved by its creator but through the years it has gained and army of enthusiasts and fans and earned a position of prominence on the market. One devotee was the late Princess of Wales, Diana, who made it her signature fragrance as have many people before and after her, and Diorissimo has now become a classic - a truly iconic eau de toilette. However, Dioirssimo can become addictive which was my initial confession.Magda Wysoczanski, Melbourne, Australia

My daughter-in-law loves the smell of Lilly of the valley (natural ones), and I wanted to get the perfume or a spray with the same smell. Went on FB and asked women for recommendation. Most vote for this one. I got it. When my daughter-in-law sniffed me all over 😊 she loved it and I'm happy about it!

Read a Vogue review of lily of the valley scents. The scent was originally developed by Christian Dior in 1956 and has been reissued. This was their top pick, deservedly.

I reorder this a lot... my favorite scent, great bottle, mist, etc. A bit pricey, but works for me so I reorder.

This has been my favorite scent for years, but very hard to find in stores. Glad that still available at Amazon

For at least 35 years, Diorissimo by Christian Dior had always been my fragrance and even after settling in the U.S. Every time coming through London, I always made sure I had a couple of duty free ones purchased. For the past three years I was saddened that I could not find it anymore not here nor overseas. Seeing that Amazon carries it gave me hope to try, although I had the warning in my mind not to fall into temptation as I have heard and read the stories of others... So today I get the package and unfortunately it was a totally different fragrance, not even a pleasant one. I am sure I will never buy fragrances on the internet.

Its my fav perfume on earth I just wish it was the old formula which was like ten times stronger!!!!

I disliked the smell, mixture of old lady and pee
