Blackcurrant comes first, green and faintly tart, the smell of the bush as much as the berry. Mandarin orange rounds that off with a soft citrus sweetness that lasts only a few minutes. Underneath, rose and jasmine do the real work: the rose is dry rather than jammy, the jasmine is rich enough to carry a little of its animal side, and between them they produce a floral heart that feels slightly out of focus, which is exactly the intention. Nothing here is loud. The composition is about mood rather than impact, and it holds that mood steadily instead of building towards anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was built by Dominique Ropion and Jean-Louis Sieuzac, and the year we hold for it is 1991. That date matters, because this was made when a fragrance was allowed to be strange without being marketed as a statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe eau de toilette concentration keeps it within arm's reach, which suits it. Expect several hours of wear with the floral part doing most of the carrying after the opening has gone. It is aimed at women, it reads best in cool or grey weather, and it rewards a buyer who already knows what the mainstream smells like and wants something at an angle to it. Two sprays is the right amount, since the pleasure here lies in the blur rather than in volume, and a heavy hand only flattens it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBehind it is the perfume and cosmetics arm of Dior, an LVMH maison. The couture house showed its opening collection in February 1947 and released a fragrance in the same moment, which set the pattern the business has followed ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dior","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55583238291783,"sku":"ENG224739","price":179.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/eng224739.jpg?v=1793074968","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/de\/products\/dior-dune-eau-de-toilette-100ml-eng224739","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
