Miss Dior Original Extrait

Which Should You Buy?
Urban Oasis takes on Frederic Malle's Synthetic Jungle, the cult hyper-green chypre that smells like a freshly cut jungle. The dupe captures the pungent galbanum-basil greenness and dewy floral heart, but tones down the original's startling, cat-hiss intensity and trims its longevity, landing as a more wearable, skin-close green floral.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The vivid green-floral freshness is tailor-made for spring and warm days, fading in cold winter weather.
Occasions
Clean and uplifting, it suits casual daytime and office wear, with enough character to carry the everyday.
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.
