    OK, I'll admit it I had originally thought this one to be nearly putrid. Yes, putrid. When first applied this was really harsh and unpleasant. It took on the scent of gasoline and antibacterial...

    What begins with "D" and has four syllables? Dioressence. What else? Disappointment. This cannot be the dynamic fragrance that influenced a generation. It is attractive, but not...

    (Vintage) Dioressence, if you give me a ring- I am yours. I will sing to you and take you places you did not know existed. I will show you beauty within you that you never even sensed or imagined...

    I am so disappointed as this is not the Dioressence I remember wearing in my teens; I think it has been reformulated and is now lacking many of the floral notes I loved. This scent is much more...

    To my nose Dioressence is an EXTREMELY masculine fragrance. Even the lettering on the bottle is masculine. This is not a "fruity floral" or a floral that is feminine. Dioressense is a little (i...

    Dioressence combines many worlds as a floral spicy chypre oriental, very 1960s style. Reminds me somewhat of Caleche in that regard, also in having a lot of jasmine in it. If jasmines "turn" on...

    Classic chypre, which means it's a bit harsh and much too perfumey for me to wear it. Classics fans should check this out.

    Being the chypre girl that I think I am, and with Fall fast approaching, I knew I had to get my hands on a bottle of Dioressence. Wow... it's soft, it's spicy and it's everything that I hoped it...

    As kate8 said Dioressence was the true "spicy delight"... A wonderful, soft, comforting Oriental that didn't turn sour on me like most of other Orientals. It was discontinued years ago, I'm afraid....

    On me this was an uneasy combination of "cheap" floral type soap and a vaguely masculine cologne. Gave me a headache. I was shocked at how much I disliked this one. I have heard the formula has...

    My latest acquisition. Absolutely thrilled with it. Top notes are somewhat reminiscent of Guerlain's Chamade, but develop very differently into this warm, clean, fascinating flowery composition,...

    My HG fragrance. A melange of rosebud, violet, geranium, cinnamon, patchouli, vetiver, oakmoss, benzoin. It's a chypre-oriental and it's as smooth and opulent as they come. In the same family as...

    It's true this fragrance has changed in the last 20 years. This was my signature scent. It always reminds me of my honeymoon in Florida. I tried to wear it again in the last few years, but...
