With notes of: rosewood, sandalwood, amber, benzoin, aldehydes, vanilla, musk and oak moss (all of them the most notorious), with a floral background (jasmine, lily, ylang-ylang, rose, peony and alheli) that does not steal prominence, but complements it, this is undoubtedly for me the jewel of the house that together with that other classic that is Dolce Vita marked the nineties and maintained the status of the house of Miss Dior, Diorissimo, Diorella, Jules , eau Sauvage and many others that are still valid in new generations, whether in reformulations, flanker lines, or mass successes like J'adore and Sauvage.

The only scent I have even nearing this is Chergui, which I prefer, but while more wearable it is not so evocative as Dune. Heart notes include precious wood warmed in the sun, desert wind, smoke and incense, preserved lemon, white pepper. The first time I tested it the aldehydes were very potent and I also smelled what reminded me of bad breath for hours. The fragrance is almost completely unisex now, as the floralcy/lily note has been ratcheted way down. To me it is just very woody and I was trying to find just anything feminine about it but I could not.I prefer the spiciness of the first 60 minutes of wear to the dry down, which is a little too powdery for my taste. You referred to me as ''sexist'' and as ''small brained'' because I simply stated my own views about Dune and for those who think of this fragrance as unisex. I tried this again last night, and this time is was much warmer, I got more vanilla and florals, and it was much less abrasive. I smell salty sweet oranges so strongly at the start, like in an alternate reality where there is a wood that smells like orange?

Interesting transparency and top notes, and there is some realism to the sand aroma some people point out, but I guess at this point I've just had enough of vintage orientals. Hours later, as the sun slips behind the sand, and the notes fade into memory, a hint of amber, vanilla, black patchouli, and the ghost of a single honeysuckle bloom, vetiver(?There's something exciting and unique in Dune, something like crystalised marigold or sunflowers, though sunflowers do not have any scent, just the feeling.

I tried some other warm spicy scents, like Opium, Youth Dew, Aromatic Elixir and Obsession, but found them heavy and cloying. Put a few pinches in an oil burner, light a tea light underneath and within minutes the dust will start releasing the fragrance and it will continue to scent up your room for around an hour or even more.
