    Le Dix was recommended to me as a powdery fragrance with a violet aspect. I don’t get violet, and I get only a bit of powder. What I do get is the scent of my mother’s jewelry box in the late...

    Symphony in white, deep violet, shades of pale pink; to my mind, the most English of perfumes - somehow it always evokes to me the dress Cecil Beaton created for Audrey Hepburn in the Royal Ascot...

    The many comments comparing this to Chanel #5 are illuminating. Le Dix does have that powder-y, slightly resinous/spicy heart of #5, but to my nose the powder is sweeter, lighter, and the...

    Like other reviewers have already said this is very similar to Chanel #5 but softer, warmer and without the soapiness. I LOVE IT.

    Opens very aldehydic, then moves to a classic, powdered floral (violet and lily of the valley stand out) with woods and a little sweetness. Elegant without being cold.

    Very reminiscent of chanel No. 5 indeed! But there is something very unique about this one as so many more women wear Chanel No 5, and few in this day and age ever heard of this one, unless you...

    Le Dix is a heavy, aldehydic old-fashioned floral with a lot of powder and some wood. I can see some similarities to Chanel #5 but Le Dix just smells inferior to me. I personally don't care for Le...

    What a sophiscated, classy perfume! Definitely nothing that would be mistaken as modern, but that's part of its charm. I smell the similarities to No.5, but where on me No.5 is sensual and...

    Oh my! This IS very #5 like. A big, warm, generous aldehydic floral and diffenitely old school. If you like powder please try this. It goes back to the days when aldehydes/synthetics were...

    She is all business with her fresh aldehyde blast, but dries out with mysterious incense notes, and finishes with a gentle, sweet powder. Perfect for the office, or when you need to feel classy and...

    A lovely aldehydic floral that can be found at an incredibly good price. It begins with feminine florals similar to Chanel No 5, except with a prominent violet note that gives it a powdery, girlish...

    To me, this is the ultimate powder scent. According to Osmoz, it has a lot of floral notes but I get only a hint. The powder is very dominant. Nowadays, that's also known among the young crowd (who...

    Smells like vintage jewelry. It's powdery and metallic like gold and smells like old style perfume. These are not necessarily bad things, but I'm reminded powerfully of the inside of a jewelry...

    I guess I expected it to be more floral and not as powdery. I gave my test run of this a chance to develop and change. I waited out the sharp top notes, until I smelled soft, sugared violet and...

    This is a very user-friendly scent for those who want to wear French fragrance without smelling "grandmalike." It is only a little aldehyde-ish and then seems a little smoky and spicy. Very nice...

    Take some Chanel No 5, sprinkle with violets, stir in some Bois des Iles, and there you have Le Dix. Like Chanel No 5, Bois des Iles and the other great floral aldehydes, Le Dix is sophisticated,...

    Oh sooooo very Guerlain-ish. It is like Ylang & Vanille but with a prominent violet note. Like Guerlain Ylang & Vanille blended with Kenzo Flower. Nice, non-obtrusive, easy to wear, feminine,...

    A very soft, non-offensive scent. First a hint of summery fresh citrus (bergamot), then some warm spices and woods emerge (a little masculine even!) The drydown is very creamy and slightly powdery....

    This is a very pretty, soft classic. I don't find it at all reminiscent of Chanel no 5 though, although it is certainly very refined! There is a little bergamot at the opening and then I can...
