What does Gris Dior (Esprit de Parfum) smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, with winter close behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and is worn for leisure too. More voters call it feminine, though a good share read it as masculine.
The scent has a green, floral feel, with violet and Bulgarian rose giving it a soft, powdery side. Atlas cedar and Indonesian patchouli build a woody, spicy backbone, while amber and dark woods add a sweet, warm depth. A chypre character ties it together.
