Christian Dior Dune Eau De Toilette Spray for Her 30ml

Product Information

How to Use: Spray Dior Dune Eau De Toilette on pulse points, such as wrists and neck, for a captivating and long-lasting scent. With opening notes of benzoin and aldehydes, one can almost sense saline waves breaking into a mist against musky, sun-worn skin. The Hermès Merveilles series strikes me as the more natural, current and magical scent if you’re looking for that airy windswept sand dunes vibe. Sadly, the new formulation is barely a very pale reflection of the original and smells enough like every other powdery, woody amber scent out there as to blend into the crowd entirely.

There’s a saltiness, a freshness, and then lots of warmth, an intoxicating true amber, like the light coming through a precious stone. Sweet chords of amber and vanilla rise up like levitating embers, tripping the light fantastic until their inevitable transcendence into ash. Yeah, somehow for me it's not about the desert dunes, it's about the dunes on the shores of the Baltic Sea, where the air smells of pine trees and freedom, there are clouds above your head and there's the enchanting sea licking at your feet.I enjoy the opening, I get like a burst of spice/peppercorn and then a creamy sandalwood followed by some balmy floral, presumably ylang ylang.

I loved the smell: a combination of orange and amber that reminded me of sunshine and the salt-water beach. It can kind of lean feminine yes but it really reminds me of and in the same vein of a ‘Black Orchid’ type of unisex fragrance, especially in 2022. The initial blast is sharp, bitter even, like sniffing a ball of dry herbs with mineral salts that stays with you till the end. The peonies here are portrayed as if they are wild peonies, grown near a beach, and have some sort of saltiness. Granted, I had just quit smoking when I tested this, but when I tell you it actually smells like cigarettes.I had in my mind some recollections of it being too much in its original formulation: too woody, too strong, almost aggressive - maybe that is why some people voted for Kingdom, Crazy Feelings or Must as reminders - not because it is similar but because it went through those paths. You are entitled to your opinion; however, I do not agree with the statements made in regard to the micro-labeling of genders.
