By the editors · 2 min readThe original Miss Dior Eau de Toilette opens with a sharp snap of green galbanum that feels almost medicinal in its clarity—a blast of leafy bitterness that announces itself without apology. This isn't the softened chypre of later reformulations but something more angular and unapologetic, recalling the austere elegance of vintage compositions before the regulations smoothed their edges.
As it settles, earthy patchouli emerges to anchor the greenness, creating a dry, slightly woody foundation that never turns sweet or accommodating. The progression is linear rather than blossoming—what changes is intensity, not character.
This is fragrance as statement rather than seduction, suited to those who prefer their florals stripped back to stem and root. It occupies a similar territory to vintage Balmain Vent Vert or Givenchy III: intelligent, uncompromising, and entirely indifferent to contemporary tastes for gourmand warmth or fruity accessibility.
