Dior Homme is a timeless masterpiece from a bygone era - it pushed the boundaries of what a man should smell like and popularised the use of iris in the men’s designer market. It opens with a refreshing burst of juicy bergamot, alongside slightly green and aromatic notes of lavender and sage; a nod to more traditional masculine notes. Soon after this the stars of the show emerge - a smooth, powdery and buttery iris, combined with a soft and delectable cacao to create the most delicious scent trail. In the base there’s hints of a subtle leather, earthy vetiver and patchouli, however it’s all about the Iris and cacao. I’ve not tried the new Dior Homme Original so I can’t compare, but all I know is that discontinuing this was a tragedy on Dior’s part. Dior Homme Intense is fairly close to this scent profile but I find it lacks the addictive cacao which pairs with the iris perfectly. This is the king of designer fragrances and a true classic.
Woody. Decent, but could be bette.
