This scent is divine! I first was drawn to it many moons ago when an older cousin wore it as her signature scent. As I got older I couldn't help but purchase the odd bottle. It has since become my faithful & favourite! A little goes a long way. Although like most Dior products it can be a little pricey it is worth it. The fragrance lasts all day when you apply it to fresh clean skin after a shower.
I always get compliments when I wear this. Dune is a distinctive fragrance that you cannot help but fall in love with.
Clean, fresh, summery, romantic, divine, unique, distinctive, citrusy, elegant, sophisticated, long lasting, divine ... What more do I need to say? It's my ultimate favourite perfume!
I find Dune evokes memories of sand, sun and summer - it does have some aquatic notes but I find it more of a sensual skin scent than a clean fresh aquatic. It could easily go from a day at the beach to a night out. Starts out a little masculine/aftershave smelling at first but it soon mellows out into a softly spiced citrus scent with plenty of woodsy notes and a natural feel. This is not a lemony biting citrus, a soft warmed one like softly spiced oranges/bergamot. Subtle but present and very nice to wear for any season. Feminine but not girly.
Tips: Other fragrances which give this earthy sand/surf/sun, warm feel include Ralph Laurens Safari, Guy Laroche Fidji and Calvin Klein's escape - though they are all still very different scents.
