Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Paloma Picasso EDP
This isn't a shy scent, darling. Paloma Picasso is a bold, take-no-prisoners chypre that screams 80s glam, but in the best possible way. Love it or loathe it, you won't forget it, and you certainly won't smell like anyone else in the room. Some find it a bit much, but if you're after 'dark, sensual, and a bit raunchy', this is your girl.

Our Verdict - CD78 - Miss D. (1947 version) EDP
Explicitly based on the 1947 Miss Dior formula rather than the modern reissue - a rare attempt at a true vintage chypre dupe, though the oakmoss-leather backbone is inevitably softer and less animalic than the original's.

Season and Occasion Fit

Paloma Picasso

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This powerful, long-lasting scent with significant sillage is too dominant for most office environments, though a factory worker found it a pleasant aroma for their workspace. It truly shines for date nights and formal events, exuding a confident, sexy aura. It's far too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
