“Cardamom and peach over sandalwood — Dior's 1994 sun-drenched feminine, reformulated thinner now.”
Peach and cinnamon over a sandalwood base — Maurice Roger's 1994 launch for Dior, a warm-gourmand feminine of the mid-1990s. Heliotrope in the heart adds powdery sweetness. Fall and winter, versatile day-to-night.
