Vintage Christian Dior Diorella & Higher perfume reviews on Persolaise Love At First Scent ep 391

[@keyshawnnauden1749]

Mr P, your perspective on perfume is so profound. I enjoy all of your work and glad to be on this journey with you.

[@Persolaise]

That's so kind -- thank you.

[@clarezimberlin8729]

Hi Persolaise. I'm so glad your vintage fragrance buys have really worked out. I hope you & Mme P had a lovely holiday. Wearable souvenirs are the best kind. 💐😉

[@Persolaise]

You're absolutely right. Thanks very much for watching.

[@jrdvd]

How wonderful that you found two gems! The black bottle Higher fetches for a pretty penny on eBay, I can only imagine the Diorella!

[@Persolaise]

I was very, very lucky.

[@jcgillies]

Even bigger smile for this one! Diorella was a fave of my mum’s many, many years ago and it’s so lovely to see and hear your reaction to something that I really can smell in my mind. Congratulations on your purchase of the year!

[@Persolaise]

Thank you so much!

[@ipurvi]

The excitement for vintage finds is something else. Glad that they turned out to be in good condition.

[@Persolaise]

Me too! The Diorella is just heaven.

[@frankp1648]

Glad you enjoy them! I'm always curious about the story behind unused fragrances from decades ago. I just got myself a bottle of Givenchy Insensé in a sealed box and I'm happy like a child.

[@Persolaise]

Ah, great purchase. Enjoy it!

[@LiaAndrews]

So happy you went back and got it! Thank you for sharing the moment with us❤

[@Persolaise]

Thank YOU for watching.

[@nightxnight]

I’m so happy they were in great condition. I was so invested 😂

[@Persolaise]

Me too!!! 😂

[@andrewpayne3298]

I really enjoy higher I have a silver bottle and the Mrs loved it so much she got one for herself ❤

[@Persolaise]

I’m so pleased to read this.

[@janetnjie8318]

So lucky to have found the original Diorella was my favourite perfume in my late teens plus diormissimo

[@Persolaise]

Those two are very special compositions.

[@auroraborealis9490]

So happy for you that you got two precious bottles during your travels and to have you back😀. Not familiar with Higher, it seems you have special memories of your twenties associated with it. I have a vintage Diorella, my bottle and box look like yours and is indeed perfectly preserved, stored in the fridge, it is so distinctive, Le Parfum de Thérèse which I sampled recently is always compared to it but I found Diorella has more layers, punchier I think.

[@Persolaise]

Treasure your bottle. And thanks very much for watching.

[@Hermal777]

Dior Higher my favorite parfum. The most underrated parfum ever in my opinion. I loved the old bottle, the grey one, more than the actual glass bottle, but i never saw a black bottle. Is it a special edition or what?

[@Persolaise]

Yes, it was a special, limited edition. Thanks for watching.

[@Abigail-bb3tr]

'You made me buy it' how lovely..... the joy of seeing someone who is still like a kid in the sweet shop. Am now wondering if I should risk trying the vintage version - have had 2 bottles of recent version and yes agree it is quite good apart from the sillage. Does the carnation and jasmine come thru on the vintage EDT ??

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much. Yes, I suppose the jasmine does.

[@Abigail-bb3tr]

​@@Persolaise You made me buy the vintage 112 ml EdT. Unboxed this beauty and then the rush of excitement when I realized this had been so obviously well stored. What a treasure am on Cloud Diorella.... Thanks.

[@Persolaise]

@@Abigail-bb3tr You have no idea how happy I am to read this. Thanks for letting me know.

[@paulsselection]

Les Clochettes Du Bonheur Roja Dove is really worth checking out as a very good modern version of Diorissimo.

[@Persolaise]

Well, the name is certainly a reference to lily of the valley. I'll have to check it out.

[@aromafromheaven]

Great vid

[@Persolaise]

Thanks for watching.

[@bokoler9107]

I am so in love with your passion 😍

[@bokoler9107]

After Higher, Eau Noir was the first relevant change before Dior Homme.

[@bokoler9107]

And then the first Dior Homme Intense - wrap your arms around me. It was after Fahrenheit, the top of the Mountains Glaciers warm Castle.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much indeed for taking the time to write.

[@perfumeenergy]

Hi I had bought higher for my man in 2006 and he wore it for a few years in a row along with the shower gel 😊 and I am so glad that Diorella is in good condition because I was one of those who erged you to buy it😅

[@Persolaise]

Ah, thank you! I'm so glad you did!

[@a2zin125]

Diorella îs a great masterpiece, on the top ten for life!! It's a great story book, when you can't wait for the next chapter after a short break; that's the dry down of this perfume for me. Now, I am really tempted to look for a vintage bottle, though I really adore the reformulated version just as well, very wearable. All up for a side by side if you decide to do it!! Thank you.

[@Persolaise]

I'm so glad you like the current version too.

[@CaroCoffee123]

I‘m so glad Diorella worked out for you! I have one with one of these crazy continuous spray atomizers and it’s glorious. I see similarities to Cristalle EdP, do you? BTW have you spoken about Dioressence on this channel? Apologies if you have but I‘d love to hear your take on it. 😊

[@Persolaise]

I honestly can't remember if I have. You'll find an index of all my reviews here: persolaise.com/perfume-reviews

[@bonniel4325]

Thanks for your great reviews. I haven't sampled Chanel No19 in years. I got a bottle of Demachey Diorella recently. I like it, and wondering if it is similar to 19, so I don't have to buy 19 at those eye gouging prices the Wertheimers set. I'd love to know your thoughts on this.

[@Persolaise]

I’d have to revisit his Diorella. Thanks very much for watching.

[@gill8779]

I have all the Dior vintages, they are unbeatable in my opinion.

[@Persolaise]

Treasure them all!

[@jom6829]

I love to see you so happy smelling these vintage scents.Congrats on the finds and listening to your fans.

[@Persolaise]

Thanks very much. I’m so glad I listened.

[@MrHollydymock]

Adore Diorella. Last week in my local charity shop I found a sealed Diorissimo in very similar looking packaging to your Diorella, also in 112ml. It’s EDT atomiser, with ‘Réf 6424’, whatever that may mean… Still plucking up the courage to open it!

[@Persolaise]

Please open it, and then come back and let us all know what state it’s in.

[@angelajuneholmes4933]

Your face says it all , so happy that your Dior,s are in good order , especially the Diorella as we made you buy this one 😂. Wonderful to have you back 😊x

[@Persolaise]

And I’m so grateful to you for the encouragement!

[@vukasinstanisavljevic4387]

I've the same bottle of Diorella. The key to the good old formula is actually carrot seed (see also an interview with Jean-Claude Ellena on Fragrantica). Frederic Malle made me think Heaven Can Wait might be a reinterpretation of Diorella with the carrot seed up top, but I guess not (got that too).

[@Persolaise]

Well, HCW certainly didn't make me think of Diorella. I think Malle revisited that scent in Eau De Magnolia. Many thanks for watching.

[@cityslacker6221]

Congrats on finding a nice Diorella. You should think about decanting a bit in a sprayer you trust, then uses some PTFE tape on the bottle threads to seal it up for storage. Although I am probably sure you know this 😎 Welcome back, I love your videos. 🙏 I have added another fragrance to my rotation from your recommendations, Gold Man, and it is incredible. Our shared love of Habit Rouge has paid off for me again. On me, Gold Man suits similar moods as Balenciaga Pour Homme and Habit Rouge. Wonderful stuff. If you are still reading, I would love to hear your take on Zooligist’s Sacred Scarab some time. It has me on a new search to find a woody aldehyde with florals, as I love Scarab, but still find it just slightly sweeter than I want. But the aldehydic Lotus opening is incredible.

[@Persolaise]

Very good advice, thank you. And I'm so pleased to have added yet another name to the long list of Gold admirers.

[@janelevey3435]

I love Diorella.

[@Persolaise]

Me too. Absolute classic.

[@bigmisscabbage643]

Welp - I just bought a vintage bottle of Diorissimo because of this. Pray for me

[@Persolaise]

Keeping all fingers and toes crossed. Please come back and let us know what it was like.

[@bigmisscabbage643]

@@Persolaise update: it’s beautiful! Glad I copied you :) I lucked out and got a sealed bottle in seemingly perfect condition and wow does it sparkle. I know you’re not an enormous Dusita groupie, but I have a sample of ‘Cavatina’ from them and currently smelling them side-by-side. If you haven’t smelled it, I suggest you give it a try because the Lily of the Valley used in it seems…strikingly similar! That said, I don’t have a very well-trained nose so maybe I’m leading you astray but thought you might be intrigued 🌚

[@kathywitter6076]

So pleased for you 👏. I was one the enablers and you'll forever associate it with your holiday

[@Persolaise]

Thank you!

[@Lipolimtown]

Are you going to get Myhrre Miestiere by Tom Ford?? Would love a review!

[@Persolaise]

I hope so. But I don't have a sample yet.
