Dia Woman Notes Breakdown
Dia Woman opens with Aldehydes, Cyclamen, Violet Leaf, Sage, Bergamot, Tarragon and Fig — an assertive first impression that carries across a room. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Peony, Turkish Rose Oil, Orris Root, Orange Blossom and Peach Blossom. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: White Musk, Heliotrope, Sandalwood, Incense, Cedar, Vanilla and Guaiac Wood.
Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Floral, Fresh — the kind of profile that rewards a second and third wearing.
