What do reviewers say about The Grey and Gris Dior?
The floral heart catches you off guard. Osmanthus and magnolia against smoke and spice shouldn't work, but it does, osmanthus has this apricot-like sweetness that cuts through the grey like a flash.The Grey
Gris Dior does not announce itself. It does not need to. The absence of an opening and the dominance of oakmoss make this a fragrance for someone who already knows what they want.Gris Dior
