Little Miss Sunshine
Miss Dior Cherie Eau de Toilette
Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest. (quote from Christian Dior)
The winter of 2010 has grated on my nerves. I have been smothered by snow, dodging falling icicles that look like spears, and tossed around by arctic winds. I can not remember what the sun looks or feels like. I saw a chipmunk building an igloo. Seriously. The little guy has built an elaborate tunnel system in our backyard.
Now the snow is slowly turning to gray slush and the weather service predicts balmy 40 degree temperatures. Fellow Ohioans will wear shorts and leave the Northface parkas at home. I am wearing spring fragrances.
I have fallen for the charms of Miss Dior Eau de Toilette. The fragrance begins with a sparkling orange blossom and is quickly replaced by a very clear, strong diva-like jasmine note. This jasmine is the lead actress in this drydown. She refuses to let go of the spotlight and makes all the other notes supporting actors. Appearances are made by freesia, rose and a very quiet violet. I thought I detected some coconut. There was something milky, sweet and tropical in the mix. I went to the Sephora website and was startled to see Popcorn and Caramel as listed notes. I did not detect salt or anything achingly sweet. The drydown ends with a pretty spectacular patch note.
Miss Dior Cherie Eau de Toilette is sold exclusively at Sephora.
It retails for $62.00 for the 1.7 oz bottle and $82.00 for the 3.4 oz bottle.

I love Maryna ! I love Sofia Coppola ! I love this short movie which reminds me Marie Antoinette by Sofia
Me too!
This commercial is all kinds of fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The model is perfection!
oh wow! I'm surprised that you enjoy this fragrance. I always thought "once you go [Serge/ Niche] you can't go back" :P
That commercial though, is all kinds of fantastical! :)
Will you do a perfume collection post one day? Please and thank you!
Stephanie: I just love fragrance. From niche to high end. From commercial to head shop oil. My fragrance collection is pretty well rounded. I treat it like an art collection. I add a classic here and there. Then I go all crazy and splurge on Hotel Slut by Etat. LOL
I think people forget that the mainstream fume is created by the same talented perfumers responsible for the niche.
The 40 day project was almost about perfumes. Maybe next year!
divaish is the perfect way to describe a certain something about this scent. i'm not a fan probably because it is so...in your face, yet feminine? i guess?
I like Miss Dior Cherie too. It's not too sweet or heavy. It's nice to have everyday fun wearable scents besides the "artistic" and seriously distictive fragrances.
That patisserie scene is straight up Marie Antoinette. I have loved Sofia since Virgin Suicides. Her directing style is very feminine and nostalgic. I enjoyed this very much and will purchase the mini bottle of Miss Cherie Dior at Sephora on my next pay day. However, the swing scene reminds me of Vanessa Paradis' Coco birdcage commercial.
I wonder what a Marc Jacobs perfume commercial would look like if Sofia directed it (since she was like his muse)? Maybe more urban and less pink and girly? Depends on the fragrance I guess.
i know this is the wrong thread to make this comment but just based on your love of fragrances - I agree 100% with you. I love stuff from Victoria Secrets up to high end...my current perfume crush is the new Balenciaga - got to save up for that one since I'm now burnt out on buying makeup!
