Dior..Escale a Pondichery

I wonder if any of you with better knowledge of perfumes could help me find anything similar. I loved this perfume, it was just perfect and then.... they discontinued it....before id even had chance to stock up.

Could anyone suggest something else I could try?

The only other perfume I wear is Cristalle eu Verte, which I love too but id like a change sometimes.

I have to say that I've never heard of it! Have you looked it up on Fragrantica to see what else it resembles?

I used to love it too. I now use the portofino one. It's not the same but still beautiful.

Just looked it up. Its main note is bergamot. Incidentally Tom Ford Neroli Portofino smells like 4711!

Just thought I'd come back and mention ( especially to @BrennieGirl ) I managed to get a sample of the Guerlain one off eBay and it's sooo close and really lovely.

It's Geurlain Aqua Allegoria Bergamot Calabria and I got a big bottle from AllBeauty for about £50 which was a really good price.

Now I want to try the whole collection Smile

Roger & Gallet Jean Marie Farina is really similar to one of the Escale Dior scents. It’s either Pondichery or Portofino.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll give it a try next time I run out.

I bought Pondicherry on holiday in France 10 years ago. I can't get it since. So I buy my wife Portofino but it is not the same.
