Dior Dune is a polarizing but highly respected fragrance that successfully captures the essence of hot sand and deserts with its unique, dry composition. While vintage versions from the 1990s are praised for their complexity and longevity, the modern formulation is considered significantly inferior, and the fragrance's intense, challenging nature means it's not suited for everyone despite its undeniable quality and artistry.
