Ever since I first put my nose to this fragrance, it was love at first sniff. This was my first ever signature fragrance, and it is one I continue to reach for even today. Yes, to some it might smell a little dated, but to me, it represents a revolution in the fragrance game of its time. No other fragrance even comes close to the bold, harsh, daring opening of leather, violet, and honeysuckle, and Sicilian Mandarin (the combination of which to many people smells almost like a petroleum/gasoline note), that settles into a beautiful, unique, warm yet woodsy accord (primarily Ceder and Sandalwood, with some musk and the slightest hint of lavender). The fragrance is an absolute masterpiece, one of the house of Dior's finest creations, perhaps even their best (and I include their much more expensive private blend in this evaluation as well). What truly elevates the fragrance to legendary status is that in addition to its incredible scent, it comes bottled perfectly in an elegant tinted glass that reminds one of a smoldering sunset. The fragrance also gets bonus points for its affordability and ready availability. All in all, I find it to be an amazing juice that, in spite of some evaluations, still manages to smell contemporary. It is a brilliant fragrance, perfectly named, with masterful yet simple presentation. It is a truly timeless classic that won't disappear anytime soon. Read full review

The scent is the same that I recall from the 1980's. But, as others have mentioned in their reviews, it absolutely DOES NOT LAST on the skin. I remember this fragrance smelling as good (and strong) on me after getting home from work, as it did when I put it on in the morning....NOT any more. The longevity is totally gone. I even tried a few spritzes of it on my shirt thinking that it may last a few hours at least. That didn't work either. The fragrance is still wonderful, but the formulation has been changed...maybe to get you to use a lot more product at each application? Sad. Thirty minutes after I apply my Fahrenheit EDT, no one even realizes that I'm wearing a cologne, and I was once quite accustomed to getting 3 to 6 compliments per day when I wore this fragrance as "my signature" scent in the 80's on into the early 2000's. Even my girlfriend cannot detect it after an hour. Gone are the days!Read full review

I got a bottle to replace my old one that I got in the 1990’s. It looks the same and I like the spray nozzle. The old one had more of a woody fragrance, but that could have been due to age. The sillage is good and it’s long lasting. I’m glad I replaced the old one that I used up.

Because I have used it for years and I never used anything else that has the fragrance like it does. I am very happy to have some again. I later found it cheaper for same size bottle. But I have made my purchases and I am really glad of that.

I love he smell and I can smell the cologne on my body when I am wearing it. I usually use two puffs and it projects on my nose at least for 10 hours in a n office environment.
