Its not too sweet, its not too dry , I cannot pick out the indiviual notes on this one it just melds together so perfectly !

When it comes to sandalwood, I think I'm more partial to scents that make it "creamy" instead of "woody". The perfume is very full because of the Brazilian rosewood but the other notes do not allow this perfume to smell particularly feminine.

She possesses a stunningly balanced use of fragrant woods; sturdy, yet softened somehow; edges rounded like driftwood.

current formulation: The current formulation is more "sheer" by comparison-- the oakmoss and sandalwood especially are lighter in the dry-down, but at its core, new Dune shares almost all of the same notes and overall impression as its predecessor. It's not at all as "weird" as I thought it could be, and luckily it's not too melancholic for me either. Floral specters emerge as the sun lazily sinks beyond the breaker, and playfully taunt the smouldering campfire, while they are carried along shifting currents of air. There’s something about it that’s really dated to me and while I can acknowledge it’s artistry, it’s not something I’d wear in public.The following services are used to offer you videos, social sharing buttons, contents from social platforms. Perfumes are often designed with top, middle and base notes, and designed to smell different based on the time after application. It opens with aldehydes and then settles into a gorgeous warm woody scent that envelopes me and has me thinking wow, that's really good. Dior never puts out anything that would be subpar and whereas Dune is not a superstar she is class and quite unique.

I see a lot of comparisons to Obsession and I can understand why due to the vintage association and general similarities in woodiness. When Betty Ann sprayed, she did so generously and committed olfactory assault to all those around her.Initial spray brings some spicy, herbal and spicy feel which quickly melts to rose, fruity, woody, salty, powdery and amber notes. I also get a bit of oakmoss on the projected scent, but the big star is still sandalwood and warmth :) It does not project like the huge great fragrances (looking at you, Opium) which build a delicious pillow of velvet around you.
