What does Miss Dior Essence smell like?

The opening leads with blackberry jam and elderflower, giving a sweet, fruity and gourmand first impression. In the heart, jasmine sambac carries the floral side, while oak wood forms a woody base that softens the sugar. A powdery texture runs alongside.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters suggest autumn and spring, with winter not far behind and summer chosen less often. It is worn from daytime to nights out, and most voters call it feminine and modern. Rihanna Nude and Gisada Donna have a close profile.
