More about Dior Dune
Dune by Dior is a 1991 women's fragrance in the woody, amber, balsamic and warm spicy family, with powdery, citrus, sweet and white floral touches. Its top notes are aldehydes, bergamot, mandarin orange, peony and Brazilian rosewood, a bright and sparkling mix. The heart notes are floral, with jasmine, lily, rose, wallflower and ylang-ylang, and the base notes bring amber, benzoin, sandalwood, patchouli, oakmoss, musk and vanilla. Dior Dune moves in a clear sequence from sparkling and citrusy to full floral to warm and woody. Most wearers choose it in fall and spring, wearing it by day and at work more than in the evening. It is a good choice for a woman who wants a polished floral with a woody, balsamic backbone for cool workdays and mild seasons. If you are looking for a clean summer scent, it will probably feel too warm, but for transitional weather it makes plenty of sense.
