Dior Homme Intense is one of the greatest fragrances ever, Givenchy Gentleman EDP is also great. An underrated iris fragrance I love is L'Artisan Parfumeur Bois Farine, it has a very peanutty vibe to it and very powdery.
Love Iris! Dior Homme Intense and the Parfum are two of the greatest designer fragrances of all time! Dior Homme 2020 would have been a success had they given it a completely different name and left the original Homme alone.
*Valentino Umo Intense is NOT discontinued, NOT reformulated! The company has sold the formula to another company, and they smell the same ive personally tested on both arms. The scare made me buy x10 bottles of it, but turns out it's just a bad rumor.*
i realized a month ago that i agree and im addicted. i have dhp, dhi, vui, prada lhomme intense, gentleman intense edt and gentlen reserve privee. they are all ridiculous
Thanks Sebastian. I just purchased a Bucoliques de Provence, looking fwd to have it, and i HIGHLY RECOMMEND to try D600 by Carner Barcelona, thaaat is just gorgeous, it’s ultra refined iris with vetiver, pepper and vanilla, and some freshness too. Is the most expensive essential juice from the house, as told by the owner, and her favorite too 🙂
orris is my favorite note. I never considered it to be too feminine, it's a very elegant note to me. My fav iris fragrance is L'attesa by Masque Milano
Yes Sebastian the "Dior Homme Original" is available with that name in the Dior website here in Europe, next to the new "Dior Homme 2020". Unfortunately I don't think they ship to the US. I got a DH Original late last year (I'm in Germany) and even got it engraved with my name; they offer that at no extra cost. Joao Lima from the YT channel Scented Moments thinks the new DHI is very similar yet not the same, but in fact an improvement over the older DHI.
I love Oh La La! It is very addictive, and I just can't get enough. Just like you, I wasn't a big fan of orris, but after I tried Oh La La, I started craving for this note.
Bois D’Argent by Maison Christian Dior. Absolutely heavenly. Truly unisex. More than just an iris scent, one of the most incredible fragrances ever created.
I’m a MASSIVE collector of the Dior Homme series, own vintages of all of them and multiple back up bottles too. The current 2020 100ml Dior Homme Parfum is identical to the 75ml. Exactly the same. The formula code on both is also the same. The only change is you’re getting 25ml more juice. Anyone who thinks otherwise, it’s all in their head.
Iris colognes are my favorite..Dior Homme Intense was a disappointment to me though, you and many others, said its the best iris of them all....but not to me :(...Valentino Uomo Intense is great....but Prada L'Homme and the Intense version are the best IMO....Why would Prada discontinue the Intense??? Craziness...Glad I stocked up..
i had the iris Dior Homme Parfum, but it was just too lipstick for me. I later discovered Carner Barcelona D600, and i prefer that one, but it has a similar vibe to DHP. Also, I sent my (soon to be 80 yrs old) mom a ton of niche samples and one she really liked was Bucoliques des Provence interestingly enough, so will be getting that one for her upcoming birthday. Hope all is well in SF. xo, Marisa.
I 💘 Iris. One of my absolutely favorite fragrance ingredients. Just last week, I had a friend bring me a bottle of Dior Homme Parfum, from Dubai. Very sad if Prada discontinues or changes L'homme. It makes me want to jump out a window.
5 days ago I bought the last two - Iris Malikhân (big portion of vanilla) and Oh La La (for me it is less iris and more powdery touch with tobacco), great scents. P.S. I must try Dusita Splendiris, seems to be another beautiful iris based fragrance.
Thank you for pointing out that prada lhomme edt and intense / edp were dior homme influenced and are not clones nor identical. Dior homme may have very well been the 'iris dominant' patriarch and its also lipsticky while prada lhomme is powdery and soapy.
Bois D'Iris from Van Cleef & Arpels La Collection Extraordinaire is another awesome iris! Performance is not the best, I have to say, but the scent itself... oofff! Have you tried it? Also, I'm really curious to try Oh La La, I've heard many good things about it.
Iris Shot is awesome too but for me it smells more like soft new brown leather e the leather in Irish Leather. That Oris Root gives them such a great classic und luxurious smell.
go on dior's website and change location to somewhere in europe and you can find "Dior Homme Original", which still has the iris. The only thing is that you can only find it in Europe :( No plans to release it in North America. Hopefully we can find it when COVID restrictions are over.
I'd love a video about galbanum fragrances. It actually seems to be paired with iris a lot. I haven't tried malikhan yet, but you can find the combination of iris and galbanum in Grey Flannel, and Chanel no 19 as well. Both fragrances which I love, but I'd love to see a variety of fragrances with galbanum as I love the greenness that comes from it as opposed to other sources of greenness.
Houbigant's Iris des Champs is an honorable mention. It's a very delicate iris fragrance and I highly recommend testing it out on your skin if you find it in shops. It really blooms as it warms on the skin.
Dior Homme Intense & Valentino Uomo Intense & Givenchy Gentlemen EDP / Prada L'Homme EDP ( summer iris)are my Iris trifecta ,still on the hunt for the Dior Homme Parfum the alleged Iris Apex.
It relations to the Guerlain discontinuation, I have now found out the are being repackaged into 100ml bottles. The bottles look very similar to the TF 50ml. A little more curvy.
So sad that Guerlain did discontinue the M. P. line. Their Iris Torrefie is so unique, so rich, so creamy. Could you please suggest me another fragrance similar to it for women (or at least unisex)? I am almost out with this perfume and cannot think of a similar one. Thank you
Exactly what I have been looking for, a mascule iris scent with not that much of a "make up" iris. Have you tried out La Fin Du Monde by Etat Libre d'Orange? and O! Unknown by Imaginary Authors? Both feature nice iris notes.
I am just getting into iris fragrances and was about to order a bunch of samples to find my first iris perfume. I did smell Bukhara but I was looking for something more powdery. Def want to try Iris Malikhan because you liked it
I really love Felanila by Pierre Guillaume. It is really unisex and a better Iris vanilla than Malikhan IMHO. Hiris by Hermes is beautifully icy and elegant for either a man or a woman. The most beautiful Iris of all is Iris de Fath. Probably not masculine but absolutely stunning and worth every penny.
Dior Homme series was (until 2020) the best in man's fragrance world and even though DHI is my beloved perfume, Dior Homme Parfum is the best fragrance ever created, designer, niche or indie. Givenchy gentleman EDP and Cologne are wonderful. Also want to mention Prada L' Homme L' Eau, an iris for summer (very useful for someone living in a mostly warm place like me and Mancera Black Prestigium, where iris has a significant role (although it's an oud-rose-leather fragrance). Great 👏video! Greetings from🇬🇷.
i have dhi, dhp, vui, and prada lhomme. dhp is just a monster, i opened my bottle the othe day and could smell it on me at the hotel i was at blocks away. no sprays. complete beast
Do you know if it’s mainly about iris going out of style? Or the raw materials getting prohibitively expensive? Or IFRA? Different houses axing the same genre made me worried a lot. I hope we aren’t staring at oak moss of current era here.
One of my favorite notes! Couple of months ago I added L’Oblio by Meo Fusciuni to my collection, and I’ve been obsessed with that fragrance since then.
Awesome, thanks Sebastian! I’ve been really into Iris and men’s florals lately, especially white florals (Reflection Man, Prada L’homme, DHI, Valentino Uomo Intense, Givenchy Gentlemen EDP, especially Bvlgari Aqva Amara) and on the hunt for more. If you have any more suggestions that would be great!
I really dig iris. Of the designers I've only tried the Dior Homme series which I liked a lot from The OG to Intense, Eau, even Sport 2012. Of the alternatives mentioned ive been wanting to try Splendiris, Iris Torrefie, and especially Oh La La from Teo Cabanel. Some iris frags I enjoy are Dior Bois D'Argent, Gallivant Bukhara, Carner Barcelona D600, Rosendo Mateu #3. Also I get some iris from Zaharoff Signature Royale and it's really nice with the lavender as well. Sebastian, Any suggestions on which of the bunch of Chanels featuring iris would be good to try? I don't mind if some may think they "lean feminine" either. Great video thanks and take care. - Colin
THIS... is everything I needed. But do any of these go carrot-y? I LOVE iris in fragrance-- I will always blind buy for iris lol, but I just smelled iris rebelle from Atelier Cologne and it is 100% carrot seeds, which I strongly do not prefer...
Iris is one that if too heavy, it’s a pass for me. Iris on men is delicious! Iris 39 is sooooo powdery. I couldn’t do it. I don’t like strong patchouli so that explains it!!
I just ordered a new 2020 Dior Homme Parfum that now comes in a 100 ML bottle from Europe. Hope they haven't changed the formulation like they did with the Intense in the US. Getting it on Ebay for $300 which is about 3 times the price what you get in Europe I understand.
Just bought DHI. Agree, I think it is quite feminine. I blind bought it and put in on and then wondered if I smelled like a woman before I went out. I need to think about this one a bit more. Def not masc. like Bentley Intense.
Yes DIOR are still doing "homme" with the iris but are calling it Dior homme "original" and think you can only get that on the Dior website whereas you can get Dior homme intense in department stores..It's so confusing
IF ONLY TF Noir didn't suffer from performance issues, I'd have at least one back up bottle of it. Dior Homme Parfum shall remain my TOP 3 favorites forever.

Orris is such a lovely, complex raw material and one of my favorites.
Best Iris ever is Iris Nazarena.
Dior Homme Intense is one of the greatest fragrances ever, Givenchy Gentleman EDP is also great. An underrated iris fragrance I love is L'Artisan Parfumeur Bois Farine, it has a very peanutty vibe to it and very powdery.

I adore iris. It does smell great on men. 🌹
Which one is your favourite on men?
Favourite iris perfumes for me are Gallivant Bukhara and Olfactive Studio Iris Shot. Love iris 💜
Hands down, iris is my favorite perfume note.
i realized a month ago that i agree and im addicted. i have dhp, dhi, vui, prada lhomme intense, gentleman intense edt and gentlen reserve privee. they are all ridiculous
As a woman one of my favorite iris scents is Iris Nobile by Acqua di parma.
Thanks Sebastian. I just purchased a Bucoliques de Provence, looking fwd to have it, and i HIGHLY RECOMMEND to try D600 by Carner Barcelona, thaaat is just gorgeous, it’s ultra refined iris with vetiver, pepper and vanilla, and some freshness too.
Is the most expensive essential juice from the house, as told by the owner, and her favorite too 🙂
I love the Iris Note in fragrances. The Iris celladon from Armani Prive is this days my favourite.
Dior Homme Intense is one of the best fragrances ever created.
I definitely agree. I rank it higher than most of my niche fragrances.
Agreed
100%. It’s better than most niche and designer. Just a masterpiece
@@southernbrew4252 even the current reformulation?
@@victorong9212 yes
Not masculine, but my favorite iris is 28 La Pausa. So beautiful. 💜
Try the new Carolina Herrera Iris Empire from the Confidential collection, it‘s the best Iris perfume to me.
orris is my favorite note. I never considered it to be too feminine, it's a very elegant note to me. My fav iris fragrance is L'attesa by Masque Milano
Second fav is eau blanche by IUNX

Amouage Interlude Black Iris - one of the best imo.
I love Oh La La! It is very addictive, and I just can't get enough. Just like you, I wasn't a big fan of orris, but after I tried Oh La La, I started craving for this note.
The original givenchy gentleman is one of the best fragrances ever for men!!!!
Bois D’Argent by Maison Christian Dior. Absolutely heavenly. Truly unisex. More than just an iris scent, one of the most incredible fragrances ever created.
Will definitely try this one, thanks
@ladup4it. If you haven't tried Van Cleef & Arpels Bois D'iris. You will enjoy it.
Iris is a true love for me. Enjoy the powder from it.
Great list and I enjoyed it and Iris is one of my favorite notes and have a blessed 🌙
Narciso Rodriguez Parfum is powdery! Love it!
I have a Teo Cabanel discovery set on the way so looking forward to trying Oh La La. Thanks, Sebastian.
I have one on the way as well!
love love Pradas Infusion D´Iris absolue!
I have the le labo iris 39 body lotion. Its delish

Interesting! Would you say, that Dior Homme Intense 2020 smells identical to its former versions as well? Or are there those "slight differences"?
@@booksarewicked all Dior Homme Intense versions are amazing. They smell fantastic in all formulas.
Obsessed with Iris in perfume...
My favourite note is iris and my love the dior homme and the valentino line that features iris
Iris colognes are my favorite..Dior Homme Intense was a disappointment to me though, you and many others, said its the best iris of them all....but not to me :(...Valentino Uomo Intense is great....but Prada L'Homme and the Intense version are the best IMO....Why would Prada discontinue the Intense???

Givenchy is realeasing the Gentleman Eau de Toilette Intense Iris Cedar Cypress and Coumarin ( another Lorson and Cresp collaboration ) we will see

Have been using the Dior Homme since its launch. Loved it and looking for an alternative. Very masculine perfum
Irisoir by Sultan Pasha is a the best iris I've tried so far
Iris Shot is awesome too but for me it smells more like soft new brown leather e the leather in Irish Leather.
That Oris Root gives them such a great classic und luxurious smell.

L’attesa by masque milano.. its masterpiece iris 💜
Having that I can attest to this..an earthy orris root more then iris..smell is wonderful
For the Guerlain line there is a new packaging bottles not discountinued
Houbigant's Iris des Champs is an honorable mention. It's a very delicate iris fragrance and I highly recommend testing it out on your skin if you find it in shops. It really blooms as it warms on the skin.
HUDSONS 001 stunning iris fragrance with a great woody haze.
Eeeeryyy day looking forward to your videos, your videos do the same to me as to you the galbanum🤣🤣
i hope Prada L’homme remains unchanged. it’s one of my all time favorites 😔
Orris tattoo definitely is one of my favourite perfume on my list.
Dior Homme Intense & Valentino Uomo Intense & Givenchy Gentlemen EDP / Prada L'Homme EDP ( summer iris)are my Iris trifecta ,still on the hunt for the Dior Homme Parfum the alleged Iris Apex.

Divine- L’Homme De Coeur
Sebastian cranking out the great videos. I'm having fun watching your channel. Great content.
For me the best iris fragrance for men is definitely Ermenegildo Zegna florentine iris
My favorite note ❤️ was a pleasure watching need to check them out the niche ones you mentioned 👍

Dior Homme Parfum is my number one then comes DHI, DH and Prada L'homme line. Thank you
i have dhi, dhp, vui, and prada lhomme. dhp is just a monster, i opened my bottle the othe day and could smell it on me at the hotel i was at blocks away. no sprays. complete beast

i'm so inspired to try these out!
Gentlemen EDP is awesome, think I need to try DHI.. For niche so far my favourite it's Maher Olfactive Crystal Moon
Excellent review Sir. from designer line "Dior Homme" line is my alltime favorite.
One of my favorite notes! Couple of months ago I added L’Oblio by Meo Fusciuni to my collection, and I’ve been obsessed with that fragrance since then.
The original Dior Homme was fine for me.
Excellent video . I am a huge Orris fan 🧡
Quick question; Dior Homme Intense and DHI 2020; is it the same? Thank You
Have you tried divine l'homme de coeur?
Awesome, thanks Sebastian!

Carolina Herrera Iris Empire
I still see Tom Ford Noir available in stores here in South Africa.
Hi Sebastian
Appreciate your review of Chic Shaik No 70 Shaik perfume
I'm waiting for my sample of the Dior homme intense 😬...because of the iris note 💄
The only reason you'll dislike DHI is because of not owning a nose.
GUCCI TEARS OF IRIS
I have the extreme noir love it whats your take on it compared to the noir by tom ford
How about longevity and projection of DHI2020 is good or not ?
DHP is my favorite, thanks to you.
You can find the orginial Dior Homme EDT at De Bijenkorf in Amsterdam and also on their website :)
And what do you think of Dior Homme EDT original compared to the Dior Homme Parfum?
THIS... is everything I needed. But do any of these go carrot-y? I LOVE iris in fragrance-- I will always blind buy for iris lol, but I just smelled iris rebelle from Atelier Cologne and it is 100% carrot seeds, which I strongly do not prefer...
I love LOEWE 001 Man and it's all Carrot seeds. I was going to add it here but didn't want to confuse things! It's quite sexy! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy I was just looking into Loewe~ Maybe I'll give it a chance ;)
Iris is one that if too heavy, it’s a pass for me. Iris on men is delicious! Iris 39 is sooooo powdery. I couldn’t do it. I don’t like strong patchouli so that explains it!!
I like La Pausa by Chanel too - I don't think it skews that feminine
Thanks a lot ❤️
Is there anything out there now like Prada L’Homme Intense?
Maybe the Valentino Uomo Intense? The new one under L'Oreal?
Hi Sebastian, may I know which fragrances mentioned in the list also have lipsticky iris scent like DH lineup?
Awesome list...
I just ordered a new 2020 Dior Homme Parfum that now comes in a 100 ML bottle from Europe. Hope they haven't changed the formulation like they did with the Intense in the US. Getting it on Ebay for $300 which is about 3 times the price what you get in Europe I understand.
You got ripped off. You can find the new 100ml bottle for $200 in the fragrance groups. Luckily it’s still as good as my bottle from 2016.
Great note, unisex for me
Just bought DHI. Agree, I think it is quite feminine. I blind bought it and put in on and then wondered if I smelled like a woman before I went out. I need to think about this one a bit more. Def not masc. like Bentley Intense.
u make the scent what it is. i guarantee my outfit when i where it will make a woman know exactly who i am and exactly what im there for
Yes DIOR are still doing "homme" with the iris but are calling it Dior homme "original" and think you can only get that on the Dior website whereas you can get Dior homme intense in department stores..It's so confusing
Prada L'homme
I wish they'd bring back Givenchy Play
I'll be careful with my Valentino Uomo Intense 😎
just got it. gonna conserve for sure
IF ONLY TF Noir didn't suffer from performance issues, I'd have at least one back up bottle of it. Dior Homme Parfum shall remain my TOP 3 favorites forever.
How do you not have Florentine Iris (Ermenegildo Zegna) in this list? That omission is a crime.
Dior homme Eau or Prada lhomme is better?
I don't care for DHE! :(
Pls do a review for teo cabanel oh la la
