Christian Dior Dune Eau De Toilette Spray for Her 30ml

Product Information

Cupcakes, whipped cream, cotton candy, praline… it seems that the sophisticated and mysterious scents are all getting the axe. I'm going to pass on this one, because I just don't think it's worth the prize -- but points for individuality. To me it is just very woody and I was trying to find just anything feminine about it but I could not. I'm scrolling through the reviews and not finding anyone who experienced anything similar to what I did. The first time I tested it the aldehydes were very potent and I also smelled what reminded me of bad breath for hours.

Dune is a feminine, mystical like perfume that brings to mind Arabian sunny days in Sahara desert with its sandy, quiet dunes and mysterious nights under a magical black sky and countless stars that sparkle like diamonds.

It had been snowing the week before my wedding and whilst bitterly cold on the we had bright sunshine. No matter which version, this stuff is magical, unforgettable, and certainly signature scent worthy.

It is still difficult for me to describe this scent - orange woody opening, luminous aldehydic touch, smidgen of abstract floral added, oakmoss, woody-amber finish.

Like you always smell this good, like your natural skin aroma just happens to be goddess status delicious. When I really love a perfume, I don’t ask anyone’s opinion on it, because they will probably react either lukewarmly and blunt my enjoyment of the scent, or they will demand to know what it is, and potentially get a bottle themselves! If you like strong scents then the Gucci Bloom Eau de Parfum is the ideal option for you, with a floral, slightly sensual scent.

It is airy - very lightly aldheidic- but does have an incredible staying power, however the sillage is modest, Dune never screams: it whispers. Dune is the kind of fragrance that you can’t stop sniffing, but you can never quite put your finger on, other than to say: Divine. Okay, this used to be my one and only summer perfume, and I even wore it into the cooler months, and sometimes year round. I read some high brow perfume bloggers dismiss amber-woodsy perfumes due to their popularity/simplicity (but did they ever give a constructive explanation to that?

This is an afternoon at the beach, at the end of Summer, when the sun has started setting and you feel the pressure lowering and you get that smell of approaching rain. This has a very ozonic quality to it but dries to an amber woody scent in the drydown truly enjoying this at the end of winter with spring right around the corner. Sweet chords of amber and vanilla rise up like levitating embers, tripping the light fantastic until their inevitable transcendence into ash. It's become my "boss ass bitch" scent, maybe just because I wore it to the interview that snagged me a job that despite being min wage, was on the first rung of the notoriously difficult-to-enter career ladder I wanted to be on (despite having no qualifications in said career, which is why the interview seemed like a Hail Mary) - so I may have afforded this an auspicious, almost mythical character, but honestly?Dune is the beach as the sun sets, setting the ocean on fire as it casts hues of glowing orange and gold. The journey begins with invigorating top notes of Mandarin, leading to a heart of Peony Accord that enhances the freshness of the scent. Interesting transparency and top notes, and there is some realism to the sand aroma some people point out, but I guess at this point I've just had enough of vintage orientals. Dune is that quiet corner of the room where there’s an open window welcoming a warm breeze; where you can collect your thoughts and feel present in the moment.
