I actually love the new version. I hated the lipsticky iris in the original. My first day with 2020, someone at work said I smelt "absolutely fantastic" and it was hours after application. I actually get amazing performance on my skin, anywhere from 8-10 hours of longevity with about 3 1/3 hours of solid protection. Also glad to see someone give an honest opinion about this one and not just jumping on the bashwagon.
@bennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn I do 5. One on each side of the neck, one inside the shirt on my collarbone/chest area, and one on each wrist. Minimum of 3 though and you'll be good 👍🏽
I recently learned that I just can't judge fragrances on hype alone. The two fragrances that are crapped all over in the community - Dior Sauvage Parfum and Versace Eros Flame - turned out to be what I really enjoy after sampling them and I ended up getting the full bottles for them. Yep, you simply can't trust everything you read and hear and it certainly applies to fragrances, too.
@@shaunleonard3878 Yeah, I was really surprised when I sampled it after so many negative reviews on it. I think it's a gorgeous smelling fragrance that's a lot more versatile than the original. I particularly love the spicy drydown.
Same. Panned by critics, but they now have a cult following, especially Eros Flame🔥🔥🔥. EVERYONE who said it was meh, is putting it on their top fall lists now. I guess they heard it was good and now they're listening
It's a solid Frangrance, it might not live up to its namesake but it's performance is above average, versatile and pleasing, everything don't have to be a masterpiece to be enjoyed. I traded my 75ml ultra male for a 100ml Dior homme because it's way more versatile than ultra male. You could argue it's a better scent.
I was a kid in the early nineties at a time when expensive big men's fragrances were the thing. Now I have no idea if it is an accurate evaluation of it but there's something about the 2020 Homme that brings me back being that kid smelling something a guy was wearing back then. That isn't to say it isn't good or nice but I suppose that considering that it is supposed to be a new fragrance, it shouldn't really be reminding me of something from my childhood. Or maybe that just indicates its relationship to the Dior Homme line.
What I very much appreciate and love is the fact that your videos are short. You are not like other some other reviewers who make 20 minutes videos. Who has enough time to review all these long videos?!
Came for the sassiness. After 03:25, I wasn't disappointed. You hit the nail on the head with this review, James! Nostalgic feels about that intro too. 🖖Corona handshake🖖
"Common dude fragrance": That needs to catch on. I definitely agree though. Part of what makes Dior Homme Original so great is that it's a stand-alone, uncommon fragrance. I agree that 2020 deserves some props, but it isn't really the profound kind of scent I would expect coming from Dior. It's too mainstream.,
I am too fabulous to wear the new version. I do think your channel is the bomb. So many other men’s style channels have “evolved” into what I call hammock commercials. The first two points are perhaps useful information. Look out for #3. It’s a straight up paid ad and often contradicts past videos or is for stuff the host really would never use.
This is straight flames I thought it would be dud....but it performs very good in the tropics where I live and has a scent trail that is on max ....got compliments galore and it projection was more than 3ft up to 3hrs in. Lasted 7.5hrs in total (ladies love it)🤷🏿♂️
Great review and I enjoyed it and i like this fragrance I give it a nine out of ten and i get good longevity and good projection and have a blessed day
Frankly, you notice a significant development in your presentation of aromatic content I would have liked to have added more clips to the top ten perfumes people like it
The poor 19yr old Sephora girl hacked, yacked, and gagged for 5 minutes after spraying it on my hand, lol. She actually had to get someone else to ring me up. But, it's not that bad, lol. I'm still on the fence, it's just Meh to me. Sorry I don't get the quality, I do get synthetic woods, a bunch. Don't care about the name or iris, Dior homme Sport (non iris) is somewhat synthetic and totally amazing. Dior homme 2020, NAH. Spend that cash on a better one.

Just curious, how many sprays with this one?

UltraSupra OMG, I love Eros Flame too! 👍🏼
Me too. I thought it was great.

Sauvage Parfum is really good.

Any cheap alternative to this?
Beware of the IRIS fanboys!
What a perfect fragrance. It’s a new favorite of mine. It has seen more wear lately than anything in my 45 bottle collection.
I have it but I cant smell anything after 15 minutes or so. Maybe I’m noseblind, or is it the iso e super? 🤔
I actally prefer the DH Sport 2021 over the new Homme 2020. Thanks for the review. Cheers from Vancouver.
Nice t-shirt Captain Kirk

I think it is a good versatile scent. If you dont compare it to the previous, it is a winner in my book.
I bought it after a sample.. 2 thumbs up, especially if you don't care for the original.
I waited forever to get this one because of all the hate it gets. Umm which I dont understand. This stuff is fantastic, especially the opening.
I'm on the 'I can't bear the lipsticky note' team.
This new version encouraged me to buy a Dior Homme line fragrance.
I love it ,I'm glad that the iris isn't in it,
Aren't you disappointed with the new ownership of Versace?? Their last designer release was 2018... they are slacking!

Sorry James, i cant afford anything until the world stops going crazy.😭

Do also younger ladies love it or only mature ones? Thank you Odean
Yessss. Loving it
I see everyone on Fragrantica is crying about it lol. Nice to get your take.
There are many sheep in Fragrantica. You can't respect the rating there so much.
The old bottle does look nicer though.
Nice job! I like this one a lot. A great smelling, easy to wear scent...thanks for your thoughts!
I used to love that intro and the Royl Rush!!!
Thumbs up for the intro and music. That was your trademark 😆👍
What a man should smell like? Most men don't want to smell like lipstick and baby powder.
Great review and I enjoyed it and i like this fragrance I give it a nine out of ten and i get good longevity and good projection and have a blessed day
Is it Dior Homme Sport?
It does smell a lot like Dior homme sport with less citrus and more woods.
My wallet is ready to vomit after all this "backstreetboys world tour" craze.
Dior homme intense better d&g the one
Frankly, you notice a significant development in your presentation of aromatic content I would have liked to have added more clips to the top ten perfumes people like it
i still remember the days you used to sing "goood byyyyyeee" at the end LOL
The smell is good but the performance is just 2 hours on my skin
SOTWa😂😂
Finally a positive review on a fragrance I love.🌸🌺💐💦
Comment in 1,2,3
Nice t shirt.. My eyes are burning
Whee the roylrush
Royl Rush!
This new formulation is weak and uninteresting. Never gonna buy that.

Dior homme 2020, NAH. Spend that cash on a better one.
