Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Missy EDP
Match Fragrances' interpretation of the original 1947 Miss Dior by Jean Carles and Paul Vacher - the founding floral chypre of post-war perfumery, here translated into an aldehyde-gardenia opening over carnation and iris with an oakmoss-patchouli close. Honest dupe-fidelity for formal classic wear at a fraction of the designer price.

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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Missy

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Floral chypre with oakmoss base carries strongest in autumn, winter and spring. Summer reads too dense.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Classic chypre is built for formal evening, date, and office. Too statement for sport or casual.

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.
