Dior Homme by Dior

The most realistic leather scent, yet clean and refined.

Batch 2018. Luckily, I managed to grab a 50ml bottle. First impression: gentleman EDP, a more mature and elegant version of Dior Homme. EDIT: After testing both, Dior Homme is wuaaoo—magnificent, delicious, delicate, and noble, but on my skin, it barely lasts a whisper. In the Gentleman EDP, the iris feels less delicate, more dirty, earthy, and heavy. If you want closeness for a date, go with Dior Homme, but if you want to command attention from your surroundings, wear the Gentleman EDP.

I tried it and liked it, but I didn’t feel any sweetness or florals at all. Instead, it’s ANIMALIC and aromatic. I should try it again, but at first, I didn’t detect the iris or any notes. That said, it lasts forever, is very masculine, and serious.

Lasts at most 4 hours; anything after that disappears.

A modern classic loaded with distinction and sophistication. It’s an ode to good taste, considered a masterpiece of high perfumery. It represents an elegant, classy man of high appeal, ready to seduce and leave a mark. It’s a spicy floral designed for day and night use in any season. It has magnificent projection and high longevity, staying intact without needing touch-ups.

Thanks to small specialized distributors and sellers, this classic fragrance is still around; I was lucky enough to grab a 2015 batch, a similar version of the original (the post that Demachy from O. Polge receives). An emblematic scent you can’t miss if you like this wonderful world of perfumery. A soft, intimate lavender sketch, with iris dominating the heart, accompanied by cocoa, amber, and hints of a faint powdery leather. Overall, a sophisticated aroma for the designer segment, endowed with rigor, charm, and elegance, perfectly unisex and with a pleasant development on the skin.

I don’t get the hype with this fragrance. I read a lot that they say it’s a great classic and I agree. It seems like a perfume for an older gentleman, a man from before who hasn’t changed his cologne in 40 years. I’m not saying it’s bad, but it feels like a vintage scent. The kind your 65-year-old uncle Peep would wear, and you’d prefer he doesn’t touch you next to at Christmas dinner.

Another of the great classics a man should have in his wardrobe. Lavender and bergamot are clearly perceived in the top notes, but iris, vetiver, and patchouli are the essence of this fragrance. This blend generates slightly woody and talc-like accords (some compare it to women’s makeup) with a very light touch of cocoa, all in a very balanced way. It’s a warm and masculine perfume, yet delicate and elegant, perfect for dinner. In large crowds, it might go unnoticed, as it has a soft trail.

Elegant and conquering perfume that projects class; the dry down of this is very good with that iris accompanied by cocoa and that leather touch that gives masculinity to the fragrance. A perfume that is liked a lot and looks good, a true jewel of perfumery, with good longevity on my skin.

The only thing Dior Homme and Dior Sport Homme have in common is that I don’t like the opening much, and it’s that here the iris is very, very heavy, almost like a bitter cosmetic smell, but as the cocoa and amber notes appear, it takes very good shape with the iris a bit less strong but still very present. At times, it reminds me a bit of the smell of new banknotes just out of the bank, but well, that’s a very particular appreciation of mine. In my opinion, it’s a very good winter fragrance for formal activities and somewhat romantic for a date, as long as you apply it with measure. Very, very good longevity and projection, 10 out of 10.

I tried it today and the opening is a pleasant citrus-lavender mix, though with a feminine touch. It then evolves into something virile, elegant, and velvety, but I do notice a subtle artificial aftertaste that doesn’t excite me. It’s not bad, worth a try, and a valid purchase. It evokes a man over 30, confident, elegant, and neat. I admit it’s a good fragrance.

Soft, elegant, and magical; it stands out in fresh environments, floral, and slightly sweet. Within minutes, it turns into sharpened wood and leather. The iris/lavender/sage combo is an extraordinary floral accord. Adding cacao/amber/cardamom makes it sweet, subtle, and addictive. The leather/vetiver/patchouli base gives it body and masculinity. Ideal for 25+, but usable from 18 to 99. Perfect for the office, formal meetings, romantic dinners, or events. Longevity 7h, projection 1h close to the skin. Fresh, iris, creamy, sweet, and woody.

This is my boyfriend’s perfume. I thought I knew him well until one day, at his house, his fantastic opening reached me. I thought he had changed, but within minutes I recognized Dior Homme. I like it a lot, and he does too. The last time he bought it, he came back bewildered saying it didn’t smell the same and that he’d been cheated. He was right: it wasn’t the same anymore. I explained the reformulations and he was stunned. Now he’s frantically looking for stores with the old batch before it disappears.

This perfume was a milestone in my taste, discovering the note that defines me: iris. A floral and complex aroma with talc-like touches that embrace that delicious cacao. If you find one in a store, don’t hesitate to buy it; you won’t regret it.

An exquisite perfume. It’s a niche iris with delicious cacao. Better than Valentino Uomo, though not as good as Dior Homme Intense.
