Miss Dior Essence
Blackberry and marmalade open onto elderflower and a dense jasmine, closed by oak. Far darker and woodier than the rest of the line.
Solaris
Ylang-ylang gives full sunlight, fleshy and a little creamy, while black currant throws in a green tartness. Cedar holds the whole thing upright and keeps it from turning syrupy.
