The sweet scent of Holy Peony
I wanted to wear something feminine, there was something about that day that just called for something pretty. Why not Holy Peony from the Christian Dior La Privée Collection? It is floral, slightly sweet, and ever so slightly fruity. It was exactly the kind of scent for the mood I was in. Holy Peony eau…

When I wore Hypnotic Poison
While I was looking an alternative to a discontinued fragrance that I fell in love with as a teenager. It was scent that made feel beautiful and start to think more about the power of scent. The beauty advisor at Sephora suggested Dior’s Hypnotic Poison as a good alternative. I remember I got a tester…

Bet you never heard of this version of Sauvage from Dior?
Begrudgingly, I tried my sample of Balade Sauvage, from Dior’s La Collection Privée. I was expecting it to be overpowering and masculine, just like the famous Sauvage. But instead, I find myself really enjoying wearing it. The first spray was a surprise. The many sprays after that were a specific, intentional choice. I honestly could…

I like this luxury hand cream from Dior. However,…
Imagine this. You are a logo obsessed luxury consumer with perpetually dry hands. What do you do? Why, you buy the Dior Le Baume of course. Okay, coming clean, I am not logo obsessed. I’m just really curious about skincare. This moisturizer is touted as a cream that can do it all, for hands, lips,…

Soap? From Dior?
Previously on fragrance reviews with A Wren Says, I fell in love with the Dioriviera sent from Dior’s La Collection Privée. The summery scent quickly won me over, making me think that perhaps fig is one of my favorite notes. You can only imagine then my excitement when I noticed the brand stocked the scent,…

As I sat in the coffee shop, I saw a woman walk in. Her oversized, dress length shirt read, “Die for Dior Atelier.” Interesting, I thought I highly doubt this has anything to do with Christian Dior’s eponymous brand. As I did my search, multiple sellers and multiple variations of this shirt came up. It…

The world of Dior is about to change
Kim Jones is out. Maria Grazia Churi is out. Jonathan Anderson is in. If this were a soccer game, you would be left wondering when the next sub would enter the game. But now, clearly the leadership at Dior think that Anderson is the superstar player with the ability to control the field all by…

Dior Forever Hydra Nude is a welcome addition to the line
I know very little about makeup, but I am still choosing to explore new products. That’s partly why I want to write to you a bit about Dior’s Hydra Nude foundation. As someone whose skin is drier, I originally thought their Forever Skin Glow was going to the best option for me. But alas, as…

The pleasant Miss Dior Rose n Roses
In full disclosure, I was rushing out the door today and realized that I didn’t put on any fragrance. I decided to put on Miss Dior Rose n Roses. It is of course, a take on the original, with even more of a nod to bright roses. It feels wrong to say it is this…

Dior’s Sauvage Eau Forte is not what I expected
Are you looking for a last minute gift for the masculine fragrance lover who already has it all? Or perhaps they don’t have it all, just a bottle of Dior Sauvage. Even still, can I recommend Sauvage Eau Forte? Yes, I know, “But it’s just Sauvage.” It’s not. It’s different let me explain. Sauvage is…
