Christian Dior Dune Eau De Toilette Spray for Her 30ml

Product Information

Everything is beautifully blended, but as it's drying down, overall I get a Brazilian Rosewood scent with the other notes serving to support its different facets.

I haven't smelled it in any formulation since then but, from what I've seen skimming through here, I'm probably better keeping things that way. Dune brought this memory back, complete with crouching down behind marram grass trying to spit out the grainy, mineral sand. 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? I’ve been wearing Dune off and on lately due to being able to wear so many fragrances (sometimes at once! There is something herbal, spicy-dry and mellow after the first spray, while the final outcome is fruity, rosey, delicately woody, slightly powdery, salty and ambery.Wearing Dune gives you that feeling of walking on a dune before and after sunset, when heat suddenly stops and the sand gets cold. The candle will come in a black gloss jar placed in a black gift box making it an ideal unique gift.

The fragrance is almost completely unisex now, as the floralcy/lily note has been ratcheted way down. I was expecting something far more distinctive and jarring because of Dune's arid image and reputation, but instead elusive roundedness seems to be the name of the game. Granted, I had just quit smoking when I tested this, but when I tell you it actually smells like cigarettes. With notes of: rosewood, sandalwood, amber, benzoin, aldehydes, vanilla, musk and oak moss (all of them the most notorious), with a floral background (jasmine, lily, ylang-ylang, rose, peony and alheli) that does not steal prominence, but complements it, this is undoubtedly for me the jewel of the house that together with that other classic that is Dolce Vita marked the nineties and maintained the status of the house of Miss Dior, Diorissimo, Diorella, Jules , eau Sauvage and many others that are still valid in new generations, whether in reformulations, flanker lines, or mass successes like J'adore and Sauvage. I could detect the blooming scent of rose, mimosa and gentle white florals, soapy lily and subtly sweet peony–all of which brought out this green, earthy, romantic dominating note of rosewood.It is airy - very lightly aldheidic- but does have an incredible staying power, however the sillage is modest, Dune never screams: it whispers.

After 5 minutes, the fumes bleed together like watercolors, and I’m left with sweet, airy florals, peppery spices and dry woods. correspond plutôt à une femme d'âge mûre (environ 60ans); sentir avant d'acheter, cependant travail du nez intéressant car arriver à marier toutes ces senteurs est un vrai challenge. Heart notes include precious wood warmed in the sun, desert wind, smoke and incense, preserved lemon, white pepper.

I learned the lesson well that the infrequent dose makes it all the more special, and that I should never overindulge its singular trip. The bottle that holds this liquid gold feels like a well worn beach stone washed up onto the sand, heavy, smooth, cool and molds into your hand. 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.

After several hours the animalic or aldehyde notes hid and I was left with a soft scent of sandalwood and other notes I can't quite pinpoint but the mixture is unique. Finally at the base we find warm accords of sandalwood, amber, patchouli, musk, benzoin, vanilla and oak moss. Dior never puts out anything that would be subpar and whereas Dune is not a superstar she is class and quite unique.I smell wood, dry herbs and flowers which are not listed btw (bay leave, rosemary, lavender, geranium, roses), peony and wallflower. Aside from certain (pricy) scents from the upscale Maison line, recent releases from Dior have been lacklustre.
