Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Catherine
This perfume is a divisive one. You'll either love its clean, classic floral aldehydic scent, or you'll find it an unpleasant, synthetic 'goblin juice'. It performs well, so if you're a fan of the style, it's a bargain.

Our Verdict - Inspired by Miss Dior (Original 1947 Version)
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.

Its clean, soapy character and moderate sillage make it suitable for office and casual wear, providing a fresh aura without being overpowering. While long-lasting, it isn't overtly sensual for dates, but its elegance can work for some formal settings.
