Christian Dior Miss Dior (Cherie) : Perfume Review
I was a late convert to Miss Dior Chérie (2005), the Coco Mademoiselle sibling-scent that expanded a green patchouli note with sticky carnival accords like strawberries and caramel popcorn. Miss Dior Chérie is aimed at the young; I was converted to it by a nineteen-year-old girl who owned her own makeup store. She considered it the height of elegance and at first I scoffed, and then I tried. It was too much fun to pass up, with its neon fun-fair atmosphere bopping around underneath the nose in a major chord of teenage pleasure. Why didn’t they have stuff like this around when I was fourteen?
With the mechanisms of the perfume industry being what they are, Miss Dior Chérie was recently reformulated and renamed Miss Dior (the “real” Miss Dior is now called Miss Dior Originale). Sometimes the reformulations means that a “bad” ingredient was removed and replaced by a “good” (and often inferior) one, and other times it means that something that is no longer available is replaced with something that is. The truth is, perfumes are reformulated all the time for a variety of reasons, and the differences can be subtle or striking.
