About our sources.

Dior publishes a note list for Dune without tiers.

• Notes (as listed, untiered): Peony, Broom, Amber
• Why no pyramid: Dior's cited page names three materials without note tiers.

Notes describe the scent; the ingredient list is on the packaging.

Reported long wear; reported to sit at arm's length. These are wearer reports from 4 venues.

Twenty-three of 40 counted reports describe more than seven hours of wear, and six describe under four. Recent weaker-wear accounts remain part of the sample.

Your experience may vary with the amount applied, the weather and your skin. How we assess wearer reports.

Reports disagree about the extent or effects of changes to Dune.

Several old-and-current bottle comparisons describe a thinner, shorter-lived current Dune, including a 1992-versus-2021 pair. Other wearers find little loss or prefer the modern balance. No primary change date was recorded, and the age and storage of vintage bottles limit the comparisons.

A batch code alone does not tell you which formula is in a bottle.

To check a particular bottle, ask Dior or the retailer about its batch code. Owners' side-by-side comparisons are not confirmation from the house.

Dune is sold as Eau de Toilette (EDT), a label generally used for a lighter fragrance concentration than eau de parfum.

The labels are not standardised, they do not predict longevity or projection, and versions sold under the same name can differ in composition.

Browse by concentration.

We file Dune under Woody, Amber, Resinous & balsamic, Spicy, Floral, Citrus, Powdery, Aquatic & marine, Earthy and Fresh & clean.

These are Scentorian's browsing categories; Dior may describe it differently. Browse by family.

Reports are divided on when to wear Dune, which points to a fragrance worn across the year rather than a seasonal one.

Some wearers reach for it in autumn and summer; others report wearing it in winter and spring.

Drawn from 9,500 independent reports, all from a single venue. The evidence is limited; our usual minimum is ten reports across two venues, and no season leads by enough to call it seasonal. Seasonal preferences depend on climate and personal taste.

Each detail on this page links to its source: note lists and published credits come from Dior, and wearer reports come from the venues named in the sources list.
