Modern Climat?

In the 70-80s, in the former USSR, Climat ( Lancome) was the most popular fragrance among women. Also by my mother and sister. It was like a deja vu with my childhood, when I first met the Dia fragrance. Yes, it's proper, elegant, soapy and maybe a bit retro.... but it always warms my heart when I feel it in my nose.

Forget about “soapy scent”!

I was a big fan of “Climat” by Lancome before I discovered “Dia”. I was looking for fresh alternative and came across few reviews that described “Dia” as close dupe of “Climat”. I bought full bottle, because composition is so beautiful. You need to appreciate aldehydes and not to worry about “soapy scent”, how others describe it. It is more classy then “Climat” with very complex notes. I can hear this fragrance on me all day. I never get tired of it and use it for very special occasions. Jean Claude Ellena created true tribute to femininity.

Clean - soap - signature!

What I have not tested everything in the search for a fragrance with which I feel comfortable around me.
Which I can wear always and everywhere, in every season and at every event with a clear conscience.
In short, Dia Woman is just that I can't understand how this fragrance could burp up anyone in this world, as it glides skillfully and nymph-like over the olfactory receptors, flattering and and completely unbiased nice, yet intense and powerful.
The name, Dia, couldn't be more appropriate. You can smell like this every day, this is how women start productive and eventful days.

Yes, the first sprayer frees aldehyde-laden sinuses and yes, it clearly smells like soap But how!
I always wanted to capture this fragrance in a bottle and I was sure that if I could do this, I could become rich with it.
Well, to my happiness and sorrow, someone else was already pursuing this thought, and if you look at Ellena's biography and compare it with mine, it quickly becomes clear why he succeeded and not me.
(with a distillery and some garden herbs I probably won't get far there).

I want to bathe in this fragrance, want to cleanse myself with its clean radiance, which ensures that I simply feel good all around me.

Dia Woman is no substitute for a shower (please don't!), but it is the icing on the cake of the cultivated everyday appearance, the finishing touch for all those of us who like to make a statement with understatement.

I leave (as so often) the description of the fragrance to numerous more talented scent noses here and set just a small modest monument to my subjective perception here in a small corner, where it hopefully doesn't just gather dust like the old piece of soap that fell behind the bathroom set.

If I could, the bottle would already be in my cupboard. Now I collect share fillings and sniff my nose sore at this masterpiece
(And yes, the colour of the bottle is absolutely unsuitable, turquoise, white or shiny silver would certainly be more suitable).

Clean up!

That's the first thing that comes to mind about this fragrance. Clean, but not "just clean", but multi-faceted, bright "soap clean" that changes throughout the day.

My great-grandmother was a very well-groomed woman who always used expensive luxury soaps for personal hygiene.
A small, petite, always freshly permed, good smelling lady. A real neat and tidy one, then
That smell reminds me of her.

Personally, I had been looking forward to Dove - but I only smell a little "Dove". The scent smells very soapy on me, a lot of blossom and a round of body powder, Moschug also comes through clearly - rather a little "omig", but pleasantly omig.

Like all Amouage waters of high quality, but I personally think that there must have been a reformulation of the fragrance. I had a sample of the slide with the old cap and I found it a bit better than the contents with the magnetic cap. Maybe just deception. Who knows...

Dia Amouage or oriental luxury in a bottle

I can talk about this fragrance forever.
After I had tried it for the first time, I fell in love completely and irrevocably and decided for me that he just had to be mine!
A huge bouquet of luxurious, freshly cut roses, whose aroma is accompanied by fresh light aldehydes. The base of the fragrance is rich in many nuances - vanilla, powder, wormwood and woody chords - not to list them all, because the aroma consists of more than 120 natural ingredients, only the main part is represented in the pyramid.
The aroma has a thick, evenly oily consistency, it absolutely does not smell of alcohol, which sin most aromas. The fragrance is incredibly luxurious and long-lasting, loops and fascinating. It's impossible to go unnoticed. He explains himself and his wearer loudly, because I believe he was created for special solemn occasions, not for daily use.
Very expensive in sound, afterwards all aromas appear simple and flat. Fully in line with its price.
He justifies his name - "goddess". In her you feel like a queen, a goddess.

Daily soap

From Dia Woman I got a sample and had to try it out immediately...

First, a very alcoholic smell flies around my ears... What was that? That did not stand so in the fragrance pyramid! however, as fast he came, as fast he disappeared again immediately!

Then it shakes and shakes vigorously and I am soaped in the washing machine times correctly in and/or... ...First wash with fig violet soap, second wash with orange and peach blossom soap and rinse with rose vanilla soap balm...

Freshly washed I am hung up on the clothesline outside.... The sun warms me and I feel like a poodle... as fresh as never before ;)

I smell of delicate flower fig vanilla soap...
...The scent is intensified by the sun and yet lasts very long... Again and again I must sniff at myself :)

Over time, the fragrance becomes finer and more delicate, which I like very much... I could well imagine wearing Dia to a walk on a sunny autumn day..

Soap...

Soap is all I smell on my skin, and even cheap soap , no luxury good smelling soap but mainstream ordinary soap, to be sure it was not only me and my nose, I have asked two others to smell it on my skin and their verdict was the same....so a "second full no no" for amouage from me. So far there are 3 amouages I really like, 1 I like , and 2 I dislike.

Pleasant

This is a most wonderful soap smell, comforting. I would not buy a FB, although I kept sniffing this long-lasting scent. Not for my body, but maybe my pillowcase.

Interesting, but Amouage Gold is better

Aldehydes can sometimes be seen as dated, especially if they come across as powdery and/or soapy. Not everyone is a fan of floral aldehydes and I do understand that, although I'm the first to defend them if any 'old lady' references come into the mix. Amouage Dia pour Femme is a floral aldehyde, being very classic in its approach. You'll either love it or loathe it.

Dia is a scent that exudes class and sophistication. It's one of those fragrances that you'd expect to find a successful woman with a string of pearls and black, shiny high heels wearing. It's definitely not a fragrance for the shy or the teeny-boppers.

Some have noted comparisons between Chanel No.5 and Dia. I can see what they're getting at, but I don't entirely agree. Dia is less clean and more musky in terms of composition. The turkish rose oil accord settles quite strongly on the skin, providing a richer and heavier dimension.

On my skin, Dia tends to smell soapy and sharp, but not in a way that is unpleasant. The longer I wear it, the more I begin to enjoy it. If I had to compare Dia pour Femme to any other fragrance on the market, I would say that it's very much like YSL's Rive Gauche.

What fascinates me the most about Dia's composition is the soft, clean and refreshing aldehydic opening, counteracted by the somewhat damp, animalistic and musky drydown. All in all, this fragrance has been well executed.

The sillage is fairly strong, however the longevity didn't live up to my expectations unfortunately. After five hours of wear, I can barely smell Dia pour Femme, and that's a shame.
