Miss Dior Le Parfum vs Shalimar Eau de Parfum

Miss Dior Le Parfum receives mixed community reception with appreciation for its fruity-floral composition and elegant dry down, but criticism for weak projection and longevity. The 2024 release is seen as an improvement over recent Miss Dior iterations, though it divides opinion on the opening notes and fails to recapture the prestige of the discontinued 2012 version that many consider superior.

Shalimar is celebrated by the r/fragrance community as a landmark fragrance that deserves recognition despite its age, praised for its sensual character and impressive performance. The community appreciates it as a historic female-marketed perfume that breaks the mold of contemporary fragrances, with strong longevity and a beautiful evolution throughout wear.
