I’m getting a teeny bit obsessed with these La Collection Privée Dior perfumes, but for good reason, they really are some of the best fragrances on the market right now. Given it’s my favourite flower, I’m a huge sucker for a jasmine scent, and I’ve been on the hunt for a really good one for some time now – and good old Dior – they didn’t disappoint.
Fruity floral notes such as apricot, peach, jasmine (obviously) and osmanthus intermingle with bergamot and white musk, and a little underlying vanilla; to give a gorgeous summer explosion. Every time I put this on, my boyfriend comments that I smell of “holidays”. Not predominantly jasmine, the opening is very apricot – but once it dries down – it is a jasmine scent. Projection is good, but not too heavy… it is a summer scent after all – and longevity is also good, but I wouldn’t say amazing; which actually, is a little disappointing for the price – however the scent is that gorgeous and unique, it won me over anyway.
Would I buy it again? Yes. I haven’t found any jasmine scent as lovely and different as this one, and for that reason – it will be a repeat purchase, even though I do wish it were just a little more long lasting…
