I had high hopes for Spice Blend, a fragrance in Dior‘s exclusive, high-end, and quasi-niche Privée Collection with a wonderful list of notes including rum, a plethora of spices, and woody notes. Alas, in the end I end up feeling just conflicted and underwhelmed.

Souffle de Soie and Rouge Trafalgar are two fragrances in Dior‘s exclusive, high-end, and quasi-niche Privée Collection (now sometimes referred to as the “Maison Christian Dior” Collection). Let’s take a look at both.

We’ll kick off a series of Dior Privée reviews with Vanilla Diorama, my favourite out of the five relatively recent releases that I’ve tried. Dior rebranded its elite, quasi-niche line in 2018 as “Maison Christian Dior,” discontinued a number of popular entries, and debuted a number of new creations that, I’d argue, evince a new olfactory and stylistic aesthetic. While I pondering whether to do an overview post with my thoughts on Dior’s new look (pun intended), let’s start things by looking at Vanilla Diorama.
