Diorissimo is the pinnacle when it comes to lily of the valley in my opinion. Hits refreshingly luscious and inviting, whilst feeling incredibly natural and pure. The scent is almost entirely comprised of this beautiful flower in all its glory. This scent captures every glorious essence of lily of the valley, from the soapy white floral aspect all the way down to the green vegetal stem of the flower. Green notes, bergamot and an array of other florals intensify and support the star of the show, but never show their face. I always considered Les Clochettes du Bonheur to be the best Lily of the valley scent I’d ever smelled, only now do I realise how heavily influenced it was by this masterful creation. I love it.
(Vintage miniature) A monstrous, grandiose, melancholic, índolic, honking great white floral fanfare. It's not a million miles from Lost In Flowers, although this is much more gritty realism and less magical sparkle. Diorissimo is magnificent and relentless, difficult to wear but a masterpiece all the same.
