2019 began with a hip-hop party at Helsinki central, ended with a profound breakfast date with lovely friends of all-time. It is a year full of trips and events, while inevitably encountering certain hardships and gossips; while the best part of obstacle is that viewing myself as how truly is, allows me to meditate and make adjustments.
New Eau de Parfum represents the New me! Miss Dior Eau de Parfum débuted on February 12th, 1947, when Christian Dior introduced it with his first fashion show. The name was given by when his sister, Catherine, arrived by surprised, and Mitzah Bricard, the fashion counselor, pointed out that, “See, it’s Miss Dior”. Miss Dior Eau de Parfum reformulation released in September 2017, created by Dior Perfumer François Demachy. The composition of new edition is announced as elegant floral, the top notes are lemon, pink pepper, blood and sweet orange, while the cores are roses from Grasse and Damask completing with jasmine leaf, and the bottom of the pyramid are palisander rosewood and patchouli. The use of citrus fruits leaves behind a modern-chypre style and brings a new carnal-chypre. The mix of the roses gain a different weight as if it were a jam made with a fallen petals and green buds that were discarded during the morning harvest. Elegant, mature, sexy and ultra feminine, Miss Dior’s sillage is moderate, but the longevity is excellent.
The crystal clear parfum bottle delivers the original spirit of House of Dior: on the tap engraving the capitalized CD, a silver ribbon bridges the rectangular body; the ivory white sticker on the letters of vintage epistle ‘Miss Dior’ atop of classic bold font ‘EAU DE PARFUM’, while at the bottom of the bottle marbling with a platoon of 15 hounds tooth pattern. Turning the bottle from the perspectives of its opposite side, the label sticker shows ‘MADE IN FRANCE’, while the trademark of ‘Parfums Christian Dior’ remains in oldie touch. The light baby pink cardboard box are silvering at the edge; both the lid and the sides of the packaging are sealed with classic hounds tooth marks.
As for the inspiration of photography, besides the fuchsia purple dry roses, Dior crème abricot (fortifying cream) for nails filled within a vintage-touch ivory cosmetic case, and the copper gold Miss Dior refillable natural spray (7.5ml) empty bottle was found at Helsinki Retro & Vintage Expo, deliver a beauty set accompany with Miss Dior. Dior nail polish Candy Cane #984 and 9 A.M. #881, both carrying purplish hues, are the lovely treatment from my long-term friend Soniya, definitely matching the peachy apricot tone of new Miss Dior.
