Amouage Dia 40 in plain words

What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.

What it smells like

Sparkling, fizzy top notes and juicy blackcurrant open it with a bright lift. Carnation brings a spicy floral heart, and the base turns dry and woody, with orris and guaiac wood.

How it wears

The perfume community is divided between long-lasting and exceptionally long-lasting wear. Projection is strong for most, and some say it fills a room.

When to wear it

Wearers favour winter and autumn, and put it on in the evening and at night.

Who it suits

Suits a woman who likes a woody floral with some spice rather than a sweet or fruity one. It is strong, so it can overwhelm a small space.
