by Dita Von Teese
Dita Von Teese is a sophisticated, vintage-inspired fragrance that combines white floral notes with warm, woody base notes to create a darkly feminine and elegant scent. The opening features a crisp mix of bergamot, peony, and a subtle pepper, setting a delicate and mysterious tone that transitions into a rich core of jasmine, rose, and tiare flower. As it develops, the fragrance becomes more earthy and sensual with the layered presence of guaiac wood, sandalwood, and incense, creating a languorous, intimate sillage that lingers close to the skin. It evokes an Old Hollywood glamour—think Rita Hayworth in Gilda or Marlene Dietrich—where elegance and seduction are in perfect balance. Though far from overtly sweet or gourmand, the scent carries a soft, powdery richness, especially from the musk and patchouli in the base, giving it depth without heaviness. It is most favored for evening wear, particularly during autumn and winter, and suits those who appreciate mature, refined perfumes that project a sly, timeless allure rather than bombastic presence.
