    Staying true to the Dior Homme line, the iris stands out from the start alongside characterful notes like leather and cacao. While the longevity is decent, it’s quite dense for a cologne—not too summery, but an absolute gem in mild climates. It’s incredibly hard to find, which is a shame.

    True to the Dior Homme line, iris stands out right from the start alongside bold notes like leather and cocoa. Although it’s a cologne, it’s quite dense and not exactly a summer scent, but for mild climates, it’s an absolute gem. It’s incredibly hard to find, which is a real shame.

  3. My love-hate story with Dior begins with Dior Homme Cologne 2007. In 2005, the original was an instant olfactory crush; it smelled futuristic, luxurious yet unpretentious, sober and cheerful. It was romantic with a naughty edge, a bottled masculinity that felt abstract. When this flanker launched in 2007, I expected it to be identical but lighter for the heat. It was: dry, powdery, with soft leather and spiced cacao. It works amazingly well in the heat, and while it’s less heavy, it allows for more skin blending. I even liked it more than the original. But in 2013 came the reformulation: it smelled like cleaning product, citrus, and astringent. I felt insulted, like they sold me deodorant. Although I eventually accepted it was due to low sales, I still hold a grudge over the mess of reformulations. Today, with my 2007 bottle almost empty, I consider it the greatest treasure in my collection. It’s art, 10/10.

  4. Even though it’s the freshest and least intense version, it still smelled like women’s lipstick. I hope the 2013 reformulation surprises me.

  5. Even though it’s the freshest and least intense version, I still detect that woman’s lipstick note. I’m hoping the 2013 reformulation will surprise me and change this impression.
