Which Should You Buy?
A legendary floral masterpiece, this extrait de parfum version of Diorissimo is a potent, heady bouquet that demands attention. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with some finding it gloriously opulent and others aggressively green or 'banana-like'.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Diorissimo - a floral fragrance led by Bergamot, Green Notes, with citrus depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
Given its strong sillage and 'attention-getting' nature, this extrait is best reserved for formal events or a special date night. Its opulent floral character and vintage elegance make it less suitable for casual or office wear, where it might be too overpowering.
Seasons
The floral character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.
Occasions
Its floral, citrus signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
