It’s common knowledge by now that Harmonious is Boadicea’s take on the famous Dior Homme Parfum - a mastery in Iris and leather. Despite the strong similarities, there are noticeable differences, and not entirely for the better I’m afraid to say. The core of the scent profile is the same as the Dior, but comes across much more dry - the Iris flower accord is replaced with a dusty orris note, whilst the ambrette seems to be vigorously amped up giving it an increased musky edge. At the same time, it seems a little sweeter, whilst maintaining a definite aroma of baby wipes. I enjoy it, but I don’t love it - I’m glad Boadicea has started doing these 10ml bottles so that I can enjoy this scent without committing to 100ml which I would never get through. It’s a nice scent, but considering the price, the Dior is far superior. But with Dior Homme Parfum’s recent reformulation, perhaps this will grow in popularity.
