Miss Dior Original Extrait vs Les Parfums Mythiques - Givenchy III Eau de Toilette
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This 2014 Miss Dior Extrait is a flashpoint of contention. Many feel it's a shadow of its former self, a casualty of reformulation. If you can appreciate it for what it is, you'll find a sophisticated, green, and earthy chypre, but expect strong opinions.
A subtle chypre reborn and surprisingly wearable for a classic. Givenchy III is a beautifully balanced green floral that manages to be both chic and versatile, despite some die-hard fans mourning the original's punch.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.
Occasions
Its sophisticated and classic nature makes it suitable for formal settings and evening dates, where its depth can truly shine. It's too grand for casual wear and definitely not for sport, but a light touch could work in an office setting if you want to make a statement.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its subdued projection and elegant, clean green-floral profile make it ideal for office wear and suitable for casual outings. While refined enough for formal events and dates, its lighter touch might be overshadowed by bolder choices, and it's definitely not for sport.
