It has the same lovely oakmoss and vetiver base as Eau Sauvage, and like that fragrance, it is fresh and summery, but the fruits and patchouli give it a deeper, more languid feel. And while it is more feminine than Eau Sauvage, to my nose it is not so feminine that a man couldn't wear it.

If Art Nouveau could be represented by a single scent,it would be Diorella,imo.i love chypre's.Diorella is no exception. Diorella is like a quirky pampered girl among the class of citrus chypre cologne (70's), standing aside alone, watching two popular classmates O de Lancome and Eau de Rochas dancing and laughing aloud in the party.a sophisticated white scarf on a spring day of a classy lady type of smell. Diorella's bouquet is skilfully blended by Roudnitska with texture, balance and form all taken into consideration to capture a realistic still life.Roudnitska is unique,he can do "magic" masterfully mixing citrus notes with fruity notes. preceded by female masterpiece as this one, Diorama or would parfum de Therese.Diorella is well known perfume among royal ladies.very natural and wonderfully earthy. Diorella is often called the "sister scent" of Eau Sauvage, but Roudnitska disagreed. Diorella, he said, was descended from Eau Fraîche de Dior (1952), although both Eau Sauvage and Diorella could also be called the grandchildren of Diorissimo (see Michael Edwards, Perfume Legends, p. 160). It is not for mere mortals such as I to argue with genius, and I have never smelled Eau Fraîche de Dior, but Diorella smells very much like the feminine version of Eau Sauvage. The Eau de Toilette is easily found online. I do not know if it was ever made in a heavier concentration, if you know, please comment! Diorella is a luxurious fragrance by the brand Dior. An eau de toilette like this one is a clever choice for a woman who wants something refreshing but not overwhelming because this kind of fragrance features a lower percentage of essences, generally between 5% - 15%.
