This fragrance is not really one for the guys but I enjoyed it enough to review Dia anyway. The effect of a floral aldehyde musk fragrance would usually be a unappealing one but this somehow has a retained quality to it. For me reading the sample card was a bit daunting when it said the perfect compliment to Gold (I'm assuming Pour Femme) but I couldn't help but think about Gold Homme, which is the stuff of nightmares! Strangely when I sprayed this on I had the awful realisation that Dia does indeed have the same feel as the opening to Gold. It's very, very, very powdery and smells like talcum powder and almost feels thick in your nostrils. Then it becomes complex and the aldehydic, floral qualities come through but never become too much. It's a great balance and I'm no expert in florals or feminine fragrances but I think this one shows restraint. I get an overriding vibe of peony, rose and peach to the subtle but enduringly strong musk. I'm so glad it just dried down with soft woods rather than animal stink which I was half expecting. I'd like this on a female but it's not exactly daring for Amouage more soft and elegant like something my mum might wear.
✨Stupendous classic vintage scent with sparkling aldehydes in the opening. Complex notes creates slightly soapy soft clean smell which is very classy, luxurious, sophisticated, yet powerful and long lasting. ✨Dia Woman has been said to be a lighter day version of Gold Woman which was intended for evening scent. I understand totally the idea but since I have an old batch of Dia and a new batch of Gold I have to say that Dia’s longevity is amazing compared to Gold. Both are different anyway and worth to own both if you love a vintage style scents. Dia is more linear while Gold has clearly different stages. ✨Absolutely for everyone who loves vintage scents of Chanel and Guerlain ✨Amazing, I want to bath in this! I’m totally in love with this elegant and mesmerizing scent! 🤍🤍🤍 Thank you for reading and if you want to follow me on IG: @ninamariah_perfumes
