Has Ambre Loup been diluted and reformulated? The answer might be Yes. There are a few reasons why that could be the case, and I’ll go over them in this post.

Dior Vanilla Diorama (La Collection Privée)
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.

Serge Lutens Le Participe Passé
I thought I’d take a look at Serge Lutens‘ Le Participe Passé which I enjoyed more than a number of his releases over the last few years, largely because it recycles many of his classic themes and scent combinations.

Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier Ambre Mythique
I’m a sucker for a really good amber fragrance and Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier‘s Ambre Mythique entranced me so much that I bought a bottle as a Christmas present to myself. Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier (“MPG”) is, in my opinion, a greatly under-appreciated brand that has some of the best ambers on the market.
