Thank you, George! Your content is such a breath of fresh air. Fragrance UA-cam is starting to become what the fragrance industry became in the early 2000’s. Stale. So thank god for you. 🔥
Dior Homme Sport 2021 has been an awesome pickup for me. The women have loved it on our channel. Not big on Dior Homme Parfum or Intense, but those were discontinued from the US market. I'm curious if they change Dior Homme Cologne 2022 much, the notes listed are the same but you never know. Dior Homme 2020 to me was for someone who didn't want to wear a loud fragrance, which makes sense with the heavy use of Iso-E Super.
i was so inspired by your video about travel, i visited cappadochia this new year, and flew in a baloon:) i wore ombre leather, since i couldn't find zaharoff here in serbia. thank you for the inspiration
Spot on! Dior Homme Cologne is actually my signature scent. I layer it with Bois Blonds by Atelier on cooler days and when I want to provide some , body to the scent, but stand alone, DHC is a modern citrus floral masterpiece.
I'm a recent discoverer of George, so forgive the late posting, but...I'm absolutely puzzled by his dislike of DHP here, but at the same time, I can understand him, to some degree, at least. When I first smelled DHI and DHP a year ago, at the beginning of my frag journey, I despised them both. Now, a year later, and after trying literally hundreds of designer, cheap, expensive, mainstream, niche, etc., I think DHP may end up being my favorite fragrance ever. For me, DHP goes right up there with the greats, like Elysium, Naxos, etc., as it's the closest thing in quality and overall profile to a high-end niche scent from a designer. Perfection in a bottle, IMO.
so this is some serious conversation! thanks for always bringing up the level in terms of fragrances content. dior homme 2011 turn on my interest in fragrances, and dh intense made me collect them, so this is a pretty special line for me. DHI the best of all imho, greetings from Chile! you the MVP!
Just picked up Dior Homme intense because of your channel. Went to Ulta and sampled Dior Homme ,Dior Homme sport , Dior Homme Like the intense , went pack a week later and all Dior fragrances had been pulled from shelves! Had to buy online .
I completely understand the community being frustrated with Dior, and all their reformulations. However, I respect the changes they’ve been going through. They remain my favorite designer house because they always find a way to set trends and be on top. They needed the Sauvage line to stay on the map with the general public and department stores. Also, sauvage has its place and it put ambroxan on the map. Sauvage elixir was a bit risky and it stands on its own as a masterpiece in my opinion. Dior Homme 2020 is an awesome fragrance, and to me it wasn’t something they did to throw away their legacy, it was just their legacy evolving with the times. Dior Homme 2020 is one of my favorite everyday colognes because it avoids smelling like a basic blue/aquatic/shower gel/ sweet freshie like all the other mass appealing scents, and instead leans woody/airy/masculine/elegant/sophisticated. I still love and adore the classic Dior Homme and I also find that Dior Homme Original is the best in the line with DHI in close second. But those fragrances are nowhere near as versatile as Dior Homme 2020 and that line needed a Swiss Army knife which they failed to achieve with Dior Homme Eau - which is great, but only for spring and summer imo. Dior Homme 2020 can be worn all year round with ease and it’s the only one in the Dior Homme line that has that kind of versatility. You have to respect that.
Oh my god I’m so glad I found this video!!! Today I bought Dior Homme for the first time ever. It was not entirely a blind buy, but certainly a buy with one eye closed and the other one squinting. I knew Dior Homme was hot, I knew it was a save buy, so I just sprayed it on the tester, briefly sniffed and then got it. Back at home, I sprayed it all over myself and .. to my horror I just thought “wtf is this??” This is NOT what I expected. It was nothing like the Dior Homme I knew from years ago. Nice green Top note that just dissolved into a stale leathery smell just minutes later. This is Dior Homme 2020 to me. Green and leathery. The green is nice and invigorating, but the stale leather scent is almost vomit inducing. I didn’t get it at first until I did some research and found out that they changed the formula! I’m now hoping to be able to return the 2020 version and already ordered the original from the Dior website. It’s a shame they didn’t post a disclaimer in the store. Now I’m kinda afraid that “the original” will be similarly disappointing.
I haven't been involved with fragrances long enough to have experienced the Dior line prior to the 2020 release, which I have in my ~8 fragrance collection. I cannot speak to the others, but I think Dior Homme 2020 would have been wildly renowned under a different name. It's very good and I get more compliments with it than any other fragrance I own, and I own some popular ones - allure homme sport eau extreme, la nuit d'lomme, cedrat boise, etc.
Dude: I bought Oud Aromatic, blindly, after watching your last video. Kudos! I was sitting on the fence but when you brought it up I pulled the trigger. No regrets. I've been wearing it since it arrived (three days straight). My only complaint: longevity/sillage. I'm hoping it was because of the shipping so I'm going to let it sit for a bit before wearing again (it's hard!!). Anyway, thanks so much for the recommendation. Life changing. I have 40 fragrances now and this shot to number one. Thanks!
Excellent. My favorite from the line is Homme Intense, I can never get enough of it. I didn't care for the new one (2020) when I tried it a couple of times at the mall, it just seemed uninspired and bland but maybe I need to wear if a few more times. Cheers, George. Keep the videos coming
I’ve made it my quest to collect all the Dior Homme fragrances, even Eau. Technically 3 left but I need the Original as well. Also, I wish your lengthy video of Dior Homme 2020 was available George. I freaking loved it!
I wish you could see my Dior Homme collection. I’ve spent 2yrs collecting. I even have a MFK Dior Homme Cologne (silver stem) Your Dior Homme and DHI reviews from your early years are what prompted me to buy all 20 bottles of the line that I own!
Dior Homme is my favorite line! I have bought sooo many back up bottles that I nearly have a total of 20 Dior Homme bottles. Vintage Dior Homme sport, eau, vintage bottles of intense, Homme original, and parfum.
So glad I have two bottles of Eau in my collection. Actually really love it, although I wish the projection was a little louder. Will be using cautiously from now on. Dior homme original will forever be one of the most innovative fragrances ever.
Another absolute banger of a video This channel continues to be the epitome of niche fragrance discussion. Maybe not for everyone. Actually definitely not for everyone. People don't have the attention span to appreciate this kind of stuff. They want it fast and hard and full of deceitful top notes. But we're all base notes here baby George sign my girlfriend
Bought 200ml of Dior Homme Cologne 2022 (same smell as 2013) for my signature scent. Got Travalo Milano travel spray to pair with it for reapplying. Loving it.
This history lesson does make sense. DH2020 nearly turned me off to the entire line before I got a sample of DHI, which lured me back. Since then, I've acquired DHO, DHP, and DBC. Depending on the situation, each one can be perfect fragrance, so no use picking a favorite. However, DHC is beginning to disgust me with its nauseating floral accord. It DOES NOT smell like 'iced lemonade'. If I could only keep one...DHI for its gorgeous dry down and performance.
I loved the Iris but the one I tried first was DHI and thanks to my skin chemistry, the sweetness was boosted. A similar thing happened with DHP as well whereby the darker notes overshadowed the Iris. So I tried Dior Homme OG and boy does it do everything that I've always wanted. The Iris is front and centre but its not overshadowed by any other notes. Its just bright and brisk with a lot of Iris. That's why its my favourite. Sadly with how things are going, I really think it's going to get the ban hammer soon but with how Dior kept the Parfum around as an exclusive, i'm gonna hope the OG stays around too 👍
Dior homme line is my favorite designer house love the parfum and the intense 👍 looking forward to see kurkdjian is going to do with the line. Was a pleasure watching 👍
Amazing video 🔥 All the reformulations have been so confusing but thankfully i do still have a bottle of Dior Homme (prior to the 2020 version). I miss the original version of Dior Homme Sport which was brilliant + i'm kicking myself that i didn't get any spare bottles of it
Honestly as an owner and lover of both dhi and homme2020 I think I prefer this move now in 2024. homme2020 makes a point to buy the regular version of the line and expands it rather than everyone just going for dhi and dhp, and in my mind when I smell the dhi and 2020, the connecting link is that woodsy scent- 2020 pushes the woodsy scent to an every day fragrance and capitalizes on it, dhi pushes it back a bit with lots of lovely sweet vanilla and cocoa, and that lovely date night iris! day and night, both have their place in Dior Homme.
I love the parfum. Hard af to get but I woke up to a fragrancenet search for it every morning till my eyes did a double take and I bought it immediately. It sold out within the hour. I want another one. I hate using it at the cost of the level dropping. DHO, DHI and DHP are in my top 10 out of the 200 frags I own. they smell like happiness.
The original Dior Homme Sport is actually the ginger heavy one that smells like orange Tang. Quite close to Zara's original Orange Zest which.....was also discontinued. And the original Dior Homme Cologne (2007) rarely gets mentioned but....I actually prefer it over the 2013? And now...DH has 2 different formulas with 4 flankers, 3 of which smell like their original releases. 😵💫 Easily one of the most confusing lines ever created.
Video I've been waiting for from you, didn't disappoint! 👏 DHP still my favourite, the Original close second. Never liked that weird pear note in the Intense, find it the most feminine leaning too, plus GF isn't a fan...You might like the 2020 DHP 100ml version more than the previous 75ml version - some apparent slight reformulation means it's less heavy and lost that hint of "charred meat" smell that was mildly present previously!
This version of Dior Homme was made for the American market, Macyˋs, to be precise… i guess Dior thought would be more appealing to the american market than the original DH. In fact, DHI cant be found in the US (stores, i mean), but it easy to find it here in Mexico…
Im glad you do these! It shows an actually interest in the hobby. I’d be interested to see fragrance house evolutions. Maybe your take on Frederic Malle?
Aside from the great review, with the subtitles on, the perfumers mentioned on this video are as follows: - Olivier Poge - Olivier Pulge - Francis dimashi - Olivier apologies - Olivier Polish - Francis Tomashi - Francis Kerjan - Francis Dimarci
I have the OG, Intense, and Eau. Eau is probably my favorite if I were to be honest, but the OG is the most versatile, and the Intense is the most dressed up. I just ordered 2020, even though it is different from the rest, and will probably get the Parfum at some point.
Nice 👍 video ! ) I Remember like yesterday, in 2006 i went to Moscow in a business trip and when I go to Sheremetyevo to flew back .. i bought in local Duty free a 100ml of Chanel Allure Homme & the "almighty" Dior homme (original), it was my first experience with this gem; i remember struggling firs wears )) all mi friends give me this comment of a bag with cosmetics 💄💅 🛍️ ))) Few years later i bought intense, and wear it a Lot! (I mean I re bay it every time since then..) but I don't wear it often last 4-5years, the new release 2020 & Sauvage line i don't love or hate , i gest don't buy them ... Recently I find a 125ml of CD H Cologne and I fink i will buy it))
I’m late to The Homme Line. In Canada, all I can get is 2020 editions. So, I got Dior Homme intense 2021 and……I like it. But I do have Valentino Uomo Intense which I love
I tried Dior Homme Sport and I smell mandarin orange from opening to drydown. I love it. But after I watch this video I wondet if the decant I got was Homme Sport or the seller put other fragrance incidentally 🤔
L'Iris était utilisée pour des lavandes anglaises. Certains disent la proximité de Dior homme 2005 avec Iris ganache à laquelle on aurait ajouté du cuir.
I’ve now got over a hundred fragrances, I need to have a pint or a dram of whisky with you George! Just to to have a chat and sort out some niche frags lol
I appreciate a discussion of the development and change of a work of art when so much of the fragrance videos are about acquisition and immediate gratification; may more fragrances take risks for the sake of capturing romance in a bottle.
think this shift in focus to mass appeal was evident after the launch/relaunch of the Maison Christian Dior Collection in 2018. However, I really enjoy Homme 2020 and I'm happy to let the big sellers fund more niche-esque lines like "MCDC". I'm really excited for Kurkdjian and I would love to smell his Homme Cologne from 2007 but it seems incredibly difficult to track down.
Thank you! I've so been needing a breakdown of these, it's like you read my mind. Good stuff. OK, here's the other thing, related to this, that is also constantly on my mind these days that I would LOVE you to make a video of...All of the "post Dior Homme" related frags. Starting with Olivier Polge's continuation of what he did for Dior with Valentino Uomo. Then Uomo Intense vs Dior Homme Intense, and all the other iris/cocoa/leather frags that followed. There are the obvious and lesser entries from Givenchy and others, but then there's Tom Ford's F'ing Fabulous (I don't see iris listed but I know it's in there) and Tiziani Terenzi's Maremma...There are so many! I have a few but I need help sorting these out. I'm on a roll...then how about Dior style iris vs Prada style iris. I love all of the above but I must say Prada's fantasy iris is goddam brilliant and I reach for it a bit more often than these makeup iris with cocoa and leather offerings. OK, I'm done. Thank you!
11:41 here is he talking about the "Dior Homme Original" that has "Original" written on the bottle that came out a year or two, or one from a decade ago?
Yes, he is talking about DHO which came out a year or two ago and has "Original" written on it, and that is the one which is closest or almost the same as 2011 Dior Homme, and only available through online (Dior Website) as they removed from stores. I have not smelled silver stem however I 100% agree with George. I think Dior Homme 2011/Dior Homme Original is a true master piece and one of my super fav in Dior Homme line (after DHP though which is another level) 😀
I have the silver stem from 2005. Then a bottle made in 2011. Both are awesome. But if I compare them, the silver stem is much more pleasant. The 2011 version smells like a chemical mess in comparison. Remember when I first smelled the fragrance, it came in a magazine. I think it was some kind of cloth that was sealed on the page. I was hooked immediately. So it was an instant buy. I wasnt into fragrances then. Only owned AdG and some Ralph fragrance. But this one was pure magic from the first smell.
DH 2011 (now DH original) is anything but a chemical mess lol. It’s opening is pleasent, the drydown is pleasant and everything in between is pleasant. Oddly enough DH 2005 is in fact aside from the 2020 version the least liked by the community, solely looking at the ratings, since most people find it too feminine and the makeup bag comments are way to present with the silver stem. Most people love intense, then 2011/original and then parfum, nobody talks about the silver stem tbh. Also it pops up frequently on ebay for about 200, which is shocking looking at the age and availability. I mean pure malt is discontinued for 1-2 years maybe and it already goes for 150 on ebay.
@@bigboyfinesse8310 As I said, I really love the 2011 version. And thats the one I use. But in my opinion, and also my wifes, the 2005 version is much smoother. If I remember it correctly they actually use a synthetic iris in the 2011 version. Correct me if Im wrong.
@@borgir83 i honestly dont know if they use a synthetic iris as of now but i wouldnt wonder lol. but i dont necessarily think of synthetic notes always being something bad tbh. the 2005 version, while it may be smoother, does indeed smell a bit more on the edge of unisex while the original really gives an actual masculine vibe. also i think the intense with the sweet note is a bit more modern and does the job better as the smooth guy out of all the flankers we have by now, which ultimately makes the silver stem kind of redundant tbh, hence why most people dont cry after it and ask for it to come back unlike a lot of other legendary frags. dont get me wrong i love ALL DH's, i even love the new one just because but i think the number 1 dior homme will forever be the curently "original" called (2011) version and i would never call it a synthetic mess, when did u smell it the last time ? maybe u gotta revisit it, it's awsome man.
@@bigboyfinesse8310 One of the main reasons why Francois tweaked Dior Homme was because the original formula didn't sell that well. The other reason is that Dior wanted to cut ties with IFF and take production of Dior Homme in-house. The 2011 version is a lot more commercially appealing than the original.
I have the silver stem Homme. It is great, but I haven’t worn it for like 2 years. I have the Parfum and love it. In addition, it always gets compliments. Sexy.
If I could only buy 1 Dior Homme to get started which 2 should I choose from. I live in a warm to hot yr round climate and currently have Coach for men and Versace Pour Homme. Thx!
Dior 2020 fits in better with what you currently have. But try to get Dior Homme Original if you can find it. It’s the most versatile of all and smells beautiful.
I blind bought dhp today for $124 on fragrancenet. I'm a big fan of dhi, prada lhomme intense, didn't like dh 2020 when I smelled at the mall, and never smelled classic dh, or any with iris in it. Got a feeling I have a new signature cool weather scent on the way.
Thanks for the history lesson. I love Dior Homme 2011 and Dior Homme Intense. I bought Dior Homme cologne because you and love it. I have no idea what year it is that I purchased. I would love to try Dior Homme Parfum. I've never tried the sport version either. I've tried the new Dior Homme 2020 and it was okay. I think the second time I tried it, I didn't like it. So I'll try it again from my sample one day. I do prefer the iris/makeup bag smell. It is one of the most beautiful fragrances I've experienced. I really hope that C Dior can make the original available in the US. Distribution is being pulled from so many houses in the US. Do we not buy enough fragrances? I don't know. It's a mission to try to find things anymore.
Bloody hell!

@@TheFragranceApprentice I've got the 2007 Dior Homme Cologne too, if you wanna smell that?
I love Dior Homme Eau. Such a good office fragrance. Shame it was discontinued
I can imagine the duck's face getting red when George appreciated Demachy🤣
I heard Rich Mitch was a Fragrance Snob!!!!!! Lol
Thank you, George! Your content is such a breath of fresh air. Fragrance UA-cam is starting to become what the fragrance industry became in the early 2000’s. Stale. So thank god for you. 🔥
George you consistently make the most informative and entertaining videos. Cheers from North Carolina.
I keep saying this: georgie is the best fragrance youtuber. So smart and charming. 👏👏👏
This video is a masterpiece as well as Dior Homme
Dior Homme Sport 2021 has been an awesome pickup for me. The women have loved it on our channel. Not big on Dior Homme Parfum or Intense, but those were discontinued from the US market. I'm curious if they change Dior Homme Cologne 2022 much, the notes listed are the same but you never know. Dior Homme 2020 to me was for someone who didn't want to wear a loud fragrance, which makes sense with the heavy use of Iso-E Super.

George I love your videos bro. You’re my favorite fragrance reviewer by FAR.
Just bought Dior Homme cologne 2022 and love it for its light, refreshing scent and frankly, for its close projection and subtlety.
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm a big fan of this line and have a blessed day
wearing DHI right now and just got a discontinued DH Eau today. Love the line!
Best Frag youtuber on all of the interwebs. Thank you for your content!
What about the “new” Dior homme original
(re-released in 2021) ?
Same shiet
Dior homme Eau is my favourite of this great line as I wear it all season and it performs. partum is great but winter only for me
George your history videos are my favorite. please keep making these
Spot on! Dior Homme Cologne is actually my signature scent. I layer it with Bois Blonds by Atelier on cooler days and when I want to provide some , body to the scent, but stand alone, DHC is a modern citrus floral masterpiece.
Dior Homme Eau is the best and most underrated Dior Homme fragrance in the entire line.
likely the biggest disgrace of fragrance world was that they discontinued DH Eau
Makes a change from a god damned top list , keep up the good work

Great video explained so perfectly brother
Great video George, shout out to the 🦆
I haven't got any of that line yet, watching this is very informative
I rewatch this damn video so much
I'm totally agree with your opinion on Dior Homme Parfum. My favourite is Dior Homme Intense.
I've got a whole collection of fragrances, niche, designer but i always find myself going back to Dior Homme Intense, it's my main jam
I have a 50ml bottle of DH and i treasure it. So so beautiful. Perfect for colder days. An amazing combination of cacao, iris and lavender
The original Dior Homme Sport is actually the ginger heavy one that smells like orange Tang. Quite close to Zara's original Orange Zest which.....was also discontinued. And the original Dior Homme Cologne (2007) rarely gets mentioned but....I actually prefer it over the 2013? And now...DH has 2 different formulas with 4 flankers, 3 of which smell like their original releases. 😵💫 Easily one of the most confusing lines ever created.
I'm glad I listened to you and at least tried pro-2020 Homme, Homme Intense, and Cologne. I accidentally Homme 2020 and I'm learning to appreciate it.
Video I've been waiting for from you, didn't disappoint! 👏 DHP still my favourite, the Original close second. Never liked that weird pear note in the Intense, find it the most feminine leaning too, plus GF isn't a fan...You might like the 2020 DHP 100ml version more than the previous 75ml version - some apparent slight reformulation means it's less heavy and lost that hint of "charred meat" smell that was mildly present previously!
Charred meat will come out with maceration. My old DHP smelled like the new DHP does, when my bottle was new
2 years later and Dior Home 2020 is still fucking fabulous. Its a refined classy scent that is nothing like the generic mall frags
fantastic video. Dior makes alot of nice ones , Dune and Eau Sauvage are nice old ones
Best line ever. Period!
DHP is my Holy Grail, i got half a liter of it, 4 75ml and 2 100ml.
Homme Eau was a masterpiece.I regret its discontinuation.
i have two full bottles and I feel i need a third
@@centurionl I hate that it was discontinued.😐
This version of Dior Homme was made for the American market, Macyˋs, to be precise… i guess Dior thought would be more appealing to the american market than the original DH. In fact, DHI cant be found in the US (stores, i mean), but it easy to find it here in Mexico…
@@joseluisrodriguezritte2734 eau is by far the most complimented fragrance I have ever worn. That includes Creed Aventus. No hyperbole.
@@bjjace1 yep!! Im
With you… i have 3 bottles as stock…
Im glad you do these! It shows an actually interest in the hobby. I’d be interested to see fragrance house evolutions. Maybe your take on Frederic Malle?
Wearing both DHI and DH original. Great range, 100% unisex 👍
These videos are great, please keep making them! I normally play the videos in 1.5 or more speed, but for these I give them the time they deserve.
What happened to the "Day Dior died" video?
Yeah. I miss that vid
At least there's Dior Homme Original 2021 coming.
Aside from the great review, with the subtitles on, the perfumers mentioned on this video are as follows:
- Olivier Poge
- Olivier Pulge
- Francis dimashi
- Olivier apologies
- Olivier Polish
- Francis Tomashi
- Francis Kerjan
- Francis Dimarci
I have the OG, Intense, and Eau. Eau is probably my favorite if I were to be honest, but the OG is the most versatile, and the Intense is the most dressed up.
I just ordered 2020, even though it is different from the rest, and will probably get the Parfum at some point.
Nice 👍 video ! )
I Remember like yesterday, in 2006 i went to Moscow in a business trip and when I go to Sheremetyevo to flew back .. i bought in local Duty free a 100ml of Chanel Allure Homme & the "almighty" Dior homme (original), it was my first experience with this gem; i remember struggling firs wears )) all mi friends give me this comment of a bag with cosmetics 💄💅 🛍️ )))
Few years later i bought intense, and wear it a Lot! (I mean I re bay it every time since then..) but I don't wear it often last 4-5years, the new release 2020 & Sauvage line i don't love or hate , i gest don't buy them ...
Recently I find a 125ml of CD H Cologne and I fink i will buy it))
Videos like this are why George is the 👑
I’m late to The Homme Line. In Canada, all I can get is 2020 editions. So, I got Dior Homme intense 2021 and……I like it. But I do have Valentino Uomo Intense which I love
I still have the original one from 2005, maybe 45 ml. What will be a price if I sell?
I tried Dior Homme Sport and I smell mandarin orange from opening to drydown. I love it. But after I watch this video I wondet if the decant I got was Homme Sport or the seller put other fragrance incidentally 🤔
Dior Homme Intense > Dior Homme
Dior Homme Cologne should have been it's own line. Masterpiece.
L'Iris était utilisée pour des lavandes anglaises. Certains disent la proximité de Dior homme 2005 avec Iris ganache à laquelle on aurait ajouté du cuir.
Dior Homme 2020 is wonderful!
I only own Dior Homme Eau!! Love it still have a 150ml. Bottle still about half left batch code (6x01)
I’ve now got over a hundred fragrances, I need to have a pint or a dram of whisky with you George! Just to to have a chat and sort out some niche frags lol
got the whole line, past and present x3
I'm just missing the silver stem cologne and EDT.
hopefully MFK brings that back. 🤞🏾
Brilliant ✌️
Where did u talk about DHP at?
Overlooked Dior Homme Eau, like most people, when it's one of the best fragrances ever made and second best to parfum
I appreciate a discussion of the development and change of a work of art when so much of the fragrance videos are about acquisition and immediate gratification; may more fragrances take risks for the sake of capturing romance in a bottle.
think this shift in focus to mass appeal was evident after the launch/relaunch of the Maison Christian Dior Collection in 2018. However, I really enjoy Homme 2020 and I'm happy to let the big sellers fund more niche-esque lines like "MCDC".
I'm really excited for Kurkdjian and I would love to smell his Homme Cologne from 2007 but it seems incredibly difficult to track down.
Thank you! I've so been needing a breakdown of these, it's like you read my mind. Good stuff. OK, here's the other thing, related to this, that is also constantly on my mind these days that I would LOVE you to make a video of...All of the "post Dior Homme" related frags. Starting with Olivier Polge's continuation of what he did for Dior with Valentino Uomo. Then Uomo Intense vs Dior Homme Intense, and all the other iris/cocoa/leather frags that followed. There are the obvious and lesser entries from Givenchy and others, but then there's Tom Ford's F'ing Fabulous (I don't see iris listed but I know it's in there) and Tiziani Terenzi's Maremma...There are so many! I have a few but I need help sorting these out.
I'm on a roll...then how about Dior style iris vs Prada style iris. I love all of the above but I must say Prada's fantasy iris is goddam brilliant and I reach for it a bit more often than these makeup iris with cocoa and leather offerings. OK, I'm done. Thank you!
You need to check our Courreges’s take on iris then…
Do you have a source to get dior homme original state side?
11:41 here is he talking about the "Dior Homme Original" that has "Original" written on the bottle that came out a year or two, or one from a decade ago?
Yes, he is talking about DHO which came out a year or two ago and has "Original" written on it, and that is the one which is closest or almost the same as 2011 Dior Homme, and only available through online (Dior Website) as they removed from stores. I have not smelled silver stem however I 100% agree with George. I think Dior Homme 2011/Dior Homme Original is a true master piece and one of my super fav in Dior Homme line (after DHP though which is another level) 😀
I have the silver stem from 2005. Then a bottle made in 2011. Both are awesome. But if I compare them, the silver stem is much more pleasant. The 2011 version smells like a chemical mess in comparison. Remember when I first smelled the fragrance, it came in a magazine. I think it was some kind of cloth that was sealed on the page. I was hooked immediately. So it was an instant buy. I wasnt into fragrances then. Only owned AdG and some Ralph fragrance. But this one was pure magic from the first smell.
DH 2011 (now DH original) is anything but a chemical mess lol. It’s opening is pleasent, the drydown is pleasant and everything in between is pleasant. Oddly enough DH 2005 is in fact aside from the 2020 version the least liked by the community, solely looking at the ratings, since most people find it too feminine and the makeup bag comments are way to present with the silver stem. Most people love intense, then 2011/original and then parfum, nobody talks about the silver stem tbh. Also it pops up frequently on ebay for about 200, which is shocking looking at the age and availability. I mean pure malt is discontinued for 1-2 years maybe and it already goes for 150 on ebay.
@@bigboyfinesse8310 As I said, I really love the 2011 version. And thats the one I use. But in my opinion, and also my wifes, the 2005 version is much smoother. If I remember it correctly they actually use a synthetic iris in the 2011 version. Correct me if Im wrong.
@@borgir83 i honestly dont know if they use a synthetic iris as of now but i wouldnt wonder lol. but i dont necessarily think of synthetic notes always being something bad tbh. the 2005 version, while it may be smoother, does indeed smell a bit more on the edge of unisex while the original really gives an actual masculine vibe. also i think the intense with the sweet note is a bit more modern and does the job better as the smooth guy out of all the flankers we have by now, which ultimately makes the silver stem kind of redundant tbh, hence why most people dont cry after it and ask for it to come back unlike a lot of other legendary frags. dont get me wrong i love ALL DH's, i even love the new one just because but i think the number 1 dior homme will forever be the curently "original" called (2011) version and i would never call it a synthetic mess, when did u smell it the last time ? maybe u gotta revisit it, it's awsome man.
@@bigboyfinesse8310 One of the main reasons why Francois tweaked Dior Homme was because the original formula didn't sell that well. The other reason is that Dior wanted to cut ties with IFF and take production of Dior Homme in-house. The 2011 version is a lot more commercially appealing than the original.
@@immortellefragrance4145 yeah that's what i was saying. people actually liked it more and so do i.
I have the silver stem Homme. It is great, but I haven’t worn it for like 2 years. I have the Parfum and love it. In addition, it always gets compliments. Sexy.
If I could only buy 1 Dior Homme to get started which 2 should I choose from. I live in a warm to hot yr round climate and currently have Coach for men and Versace Pour Homme. Thx!
Dior 2020 fits in better with what you currently have.
But try to get Dior Homme Original if you can find it. It’s the most versatile of all and smells beautiful.
Why you didn't included current Dior Homme Original? That would make this more clear what is what.
i saw a new 2012 bottle of the original homme, on mercari.
maybe i should go snag it
I blind bought dhp today for $124 on fragrancenet.
I'm a big fan of dhi, prada lhomme intense, didn't like dh 2020 when I smelled at the mall, and never smelled classic dh, or any with iris in it.
Got a feeling I have a new signature cool weather scent on the way.
Thanks for the history lesson. I love Dior Homme 2011 and Dior Homme Intense. I bought Dior Homme cologne because you and love it. I have no idea what year it is that I purchased. I would love to try Dior Homme Parfum. I've never tried the sport version either. I've tried the new Dior Homme 2020 and it was okay. I think the second time I tried it, I didn't like it. So I'll try it again from my sample one day. I do prefer the iris/makeup bag smell. It is one of the most beautiful fragrances I've experienced. I really hope that C Dior can make the original available in the US. Distribution is being pulled from so many houses in the US. Do we not buy enough fragrances? I don't know. It's a mission to try to find things anymore.
