I can't say I was initially impressed when I received this perfume as a birthday gift: knowing and loving the original Miss Dior so well, and always sceptical of 'updated versions' of classic fragrances, I couldn't see how Dior could improve on what was, after all, the house's very first fragrance.
What a beautiful bottle! This is surely where the influence of the original Miss Dior is most apparent: Cherie features the same embossed dog tooth design, both on the box and on the underside of the bottle. The elegant italicised script is also straight from Miss Dior.
The design is eyecatching - a must for collectors. The chunky square glass stopper and sweet silver bow instantly stand out. Though the glass is clear, the perfume itself lends a subtle pink tinge to the entire bottle.
Simply gorgeous. A little goes a long way, but the scent is not overpowering. It's not sickly sweet, nor too simple.
High notes consist of green tangerine and strawberry leaves; medium notes of violet, pink jasmine, caramelised popcorn and strawberry sorbet; base notes are patchouli and crystalline musk.
Stawberry is particularly apparent, accompanied by violet and jasmine. Do not expect particularly fruity notes, however: this is a sweet, floral fragrance - vibrant and youthful, with elements of patchouli and musk ensuring that this is not an immature scent, even if it is aimed at a younger market.
**In Summary**
This versatile and distinctive scent is simply gorgeous, and cannot fail to attract compliments.
Just as Dior promises, this really is a perfume for those aspiring to be youthful and modern, yet elegant and refined. So elegance and refinement is never going to come cheap (currently retailing at £48 in my local Boots store)...but this beautiful fragrance really will set you apart from the crowd.
