Reviews of Miss Dior Chérie L'Eau by Christian Dior

This is a very fresh summertime fragrance. I get light floral with a touch of green. Lasts a good long time. It does not smell "perfumey". I recently bought a bottle of this and somebody told me it smelled like fresh mowed hay.

This smelled so much like Max Mara to me, especially on the dry down. A wet, swampy, dewy, greenish, creamy gardenia with a dallop of musk.

A person who has been used to Paris Hilton and Kimora Lee Simmons type scents would think Miss Dior Cherie L'eau is quite sophisticated, methinks. Not as bad as the original and I wouldn't be offended if I had to sit next to someone wearing it at work. In some ways it reminds me of a "pinker" L'eau de Serge Lutens. But overall, a waste of the name Dior.

This "special" summertime limited edition tweaks its namesake by making it--surprise!--into a synthetic floral-aquatic perfume! I'm not much for aquatic frags in the first place, so it's not that surprising that I prefer both of this fragrance's predecessors and namesakes (MISS DIOR CHERIE and MISS DIOR) to this yuck festival. Sure there's no popcorn or caramel here, and some may regard that as an improvement. I, however, prefer those notes to dishwasher detergent.

Although the brief floral opening of MISS DIOR CHERIE L'EAU seems potentially promising, the synthetic floral aquatic amalgam--which has somewhat of a drowned lotus or bloated water-lily feeling--ends up making me feel a bit seasick. Yes, the dreaded "abstract florals" strike once again. Honestly, the overall effect is not unlike the "fragrance" created through opening my dishwasher mid-cycle.

I was thinking about complaining about the niggardly one-third-full sample spray vial that I was given of this scent (at the S place), but having now worn it, I realize that any more would have stayed in the vial anyway. Désolée.

Quite an enchanting, refreshing and simplistic fragrance which will certainly appeal to a wide audience I am sure.

The grapefruit is quite strong, yet not repulsive or cheap smelling. This fragrance is sophisticated, feminine and charming.

Miss Dior Cherie L'eau is bright, revitalising, fresh and Summery, it is absolutely bursting with life. The scent is also quite light and airy so I doubt that this fragrance would ever offend.

This fragrance has a certain girlishness about it, it speaks youth to me. Hence I'd most likely recommend this fragrance to younger consumers. The lasting power is average, roughly 3-4 hours, which I'm not bitterly disappointed over. I'd see no harm in reapplying during the day.

Seriously, what's the point? It just smells generic-floral, generic-clean. Not really any "greenness" to speak of. The other one was at least fun.

Definitely a different direction from it's Big Sister- Miss Dior Cherie.This is a slightly limpid watery floral with some dashing of green gardenia but mostly water,a little sweetnes and a note of water lily is what I get. This is prominent for half a hour/45 minutes before it disappears into 'generic light dept. store inoffensive floral' .Still much more wearable than Miss Dior Cherie for those who dislike that uber sweetness.

Well it is certainly much better than Miss Dior Chérie, which was a truly atrocious fruit and caramel explosion, girly in all the wrong ways. This has an almost herbaceous nature, a sort of accord between florals, citrus, and woods, and is certainly greener and more natural smelling than its predecessor, which are all plusses in my book. The problem is, as with most modern perfumes, it takes absolutely no chances. I doubt I would recognize this scent again if I smelled it on someone, It smells generic, and too watery. A safe bet, but nothing special.

Quite an improvement over the original Miss Dior Cherie- which is tooth-achingly sweet (caramel corn and strawberry????) Agree with Asha on this one- this is more subtle and wearable.In fact, I am beginning to like this better than J'adore l' Eau Floriale- overall, it is lighter, cleaner, less floral-fruity- ane maybe less is more!The top-mid notes are a beautiful medley of white floral and citrus, and it has an incredibly appealing woody dry-down that I thoroughly enjoy. I am entranced...

The original is sweet, but at least it has character. This one has the personality of deodorant/body spray juice heavily diluted in solvents. I don't understand how anyone could take a deep sniff of this and think it's stunning. I suppose one could find it pleasant. And perhaps that's enough.

Like Asha, I find Miss Dior Cherie L'Eau more user friendly than the original! The original Miss Dior Cherie's super sweet strawberry topnotes hit my nose with such impact and brut force, I cannot enjoy the smell. The L'Eau version is far more toned, tamed, and contains only half the sugar of her older sis! Mild in character wears pleasantly and stays fresh. This one is likeable, but L'Eau isn't really a 'stand out' fragrance. In the end, maybe it could use a stronger punch of sorts.

Dior Miss Dior Cherie L'Eau (2009 limited release)Notes: bigarade orange, fruity notes, gardenia, floral notes, white musk, patchouli, caramel, dry woods (from OsMoz)When I first sprayed MCDL'E, I smelled strawberry lemonade. Given my trepidation with the original Miss Dior Cherie, it would seem that strawberry lemonade might be equally vile. On the contrary--MDCL'E is actually BETTER to my nose than the original. Perhaps it is my weakness for fluffy, citrus-vanilla accords talking (Guerlain Shalimar and Habit Rouge), because I find the L'Eau flanker to be pleasant, soft and fresh. The effect is a balance of sweet, sour and bitter that is very uplifting and somewhat reminiscent of traditional cologne. In the latter development, the florals show themselves as a diaphanous bouquet where no one flower is identifiable. The florals are joined by a lightly powdered and inedible vanilla, anchored by soft woods and a very, very clean patchouli. I can't say that MDCL'E is terribly original--it seems to hit all the same marks that a modern fruity-floral-woody-oriental has. On the other hand, when interpreted in the traditional cologne context, I think many women may find this fragrance equally refreshing, but much more feminine than most unisex cologne waters.
