Dior Homme Dior for men

Very elegant and sensual and much better than 2005 version as it is lighter and more elegant,the iris is toned down a little bit so it smells amazingly sweet woody semi powdery,its marvelous.

i have edt and edp first-editions, and i think that new edt version is very similar to homme intense (edp version), more leathery, gourmandish, powdery. Honestly i prefer vintage edition for a edt formula and leave strong notes to the edp version.
Vintage formulas was two distinct fragrances, new edt is a mix between the two previous. I don't dislike it, but i'm original lover ;)

One of the highlights about Dior Homme (And the intense and other reformulations) is that this can be worn in the cold and hot times and day and night and it does not cloy nor get worse. Compliment getter 24/7 all throughout the year! Sex in a bottle!

I test sprayed this yesterday for the first time. I do not own it so I am not in a position to give an objective review. All I want to say is one thing. If I had to use only one word to describe this, I will use the word, “Lipstick”.

I bought under duress from a salesboy...I'd heard many times how the adjustments were very minor and that to say it was a major reformulation that "ruined" it, was a gross exaggeration, that's it's basically the same. Naturally I choose to listen to the voice of reason. The main event is the iris that smells like the miasma of an eveningbag. As long as I get that I'm happy. Whatever the differences are I can not identify them or say for certain that changes were made. Less blueberry smell lingers on my clothes but who cares? People buy this to smell like iris and the iris seems to be from the same source. Let's put this long national nightmare behind us.

At first I didn't like because it smelled like my mother's eveng bags but now I love it because it does. My sister is champing at the bit to get some since I told her about it. Iris is my all time favorite and I'm planning to have every primo specimen, which will be quite easy since there are so few. Well, it should be easy but the formula has changed on Iris Siver Mist so even if I go to the Palais Royale I can't get it. Have to wait for an old probably partially used bottle to show up so I can be in a bidding war. I don't know why no man's fragrance has been based on iris root before? It's glum and quiet and not girly at all except by tradition. The extremely high quality of iris in my vintage bottle of Apres l'Ondee is so good that you fall in love iris forever. Super high grades are asontishingly complex and even fresh smelling All of the facets show up:lipstick, powder, makeup, paper, bread...I wish to god that Jean Paul Gaultier had started with iris root and nail polish remover to make what is now known as Classique more convincing. based on the space of his grandmother's dressing table. Individual grandma references in musk and orange amber just don't cut it. I remember when Gaultier, then called merely Femme, came out. It smelled fantastic. Powdery like Chanel no.5 and bitter like bandit and the smell of spray-on grey-or-white hair--a reference to the club kids who used as. The bitter drydown on the tester lasted forever and made me think of Viviane Westwood men's tartan suits, of Edie Sedgwick who used spray-on silver, which has a smell of Chanel no.5 mixed with the chemical sharpness that says "let the games begin", meaning going to Area or the Mudd Club. It began as a hardcore downtown NY club kids fragrance. I think it was reformulated very very soon after it came out, before anybody had a chance to complain. To me it smelled like a pop art version of Bandit, better than Bandit. The bitterness on my tester disc lasted for weeks. Always powder, bitter, vaguely smoky, delicious. Either I imagined it or that first version open and shut like a clam and there was no press release. But it also seemed iris root-y and so not at all like the prostitutes-only baggage it's picked up. And I've read that it is indeed globally #1 for filles de joie.

Noticed the new smell immediately. The "old" 2010 was awesome. Nota fan of the new one at all.

Would anyone know either where there may be some pre change bottles available, or an alternative? I have heard that Egoiste may be the way to go.

This one wears a crooked smile. Not in a bad way but you have to wonder what he's up too. Sexy and seductive.

I bought the reformulaion bottle several months ago.
This is a classy fragrance. great for special occasions like wedding day, a date, work meetings and ...
But you can also wear it casually!
Start with huge dose of iris and some sweetness and also some coco. only hint of coco!
After that, in the drydown, the sweet and powdery iris comes in and this is the best part of this fragrance in my opinion! and also it's the worst part of this fragrance for so many guys out there!
Because this part is feminine for them and they get lipstick vibe!
But I don't have any problem with this scent and I think it's a great scent!
In the base, the iris is still there with some sweetness and only hint of spicy and woodsy notes.
Great smell but unfortunately below average projection and longevity with this guy! :(
يه عطر بسيار شيك و باكلاس مناسب مراسمات خاص مثل عروسي، تولد و ملاقات هاي رسمي
رايحه ابتدايي بوي قوي گل آيريس هست كه ظاهرا تو فارسي ميشه زنبق و سوسن به اضافه مقدار كمي رايحه شيرين و مقدار خيلي خيلي كمي كاكائو
بعد از اون بوي عطر شيرينتر ميشه و بويي شبيه به بوي مواد آرايشي پيدا ميكنه
خيلي ها ميگن بويي شبيه ماتيك ميده اما به نظر من اونجوري هم نيست و تا حدودي شباهت داره
در پايان از شيريني عطر تا حد زيادي كاسته ميشه و مقدار خيلي كمي رايحه تند و جنلگي پيدا ميكنه. خيلي خيلي كم البته
عطر بسيار خوشبو و شيك و باكلاسي هست اما متاسفانه پخش بو و ماندگاريش خوب نيست و بعد از 2-3 ساعت از روي پوست محو ميشه

For me, this is a smart, mature, formal and intelligent scent. A warmth and complex scent after the ever legendary Fahrenheit - brilliant!

It start with dusty floral scent slowly emerge to potent powderish Cacao ambery scent, so potent until it last for hours, at last ended with slight dusty leather patchouli scent which I like most - it give warmth felling to the wearer. Projection and longevity is great, people can spotted it from far and is last at least 6 hours. Thumbs up for it's superior quality!

Overall, this is a very polite, brilliant gentleman scent suitable during formal dinner, important dating and a very good winter scent! Just be careful not to over-apply this, a little goes a long way. 8.5/10 from me. Truly a signature scent from reputable Dior ~ Pour Homme!

In the new formulae I get a lot more laether and cocoa and less iris and lavander than the old one, is this accurate?

O have both the old and the new formulations of Dior Homme EDT, and I have to say that I prefer the new one, although the old is also a masterpiece, all in all, Dior Homme EDT is still my favorite fragrance of all time!

Let me start off by saying that I own and have fully worn both the new reformulation and the old formulation. So for the sake of ppls curiosity I will comment on/compare both new and old formulations at the same time.

New reformulation: Opens up with that same "lipstick" note/vibe like the old one but it's toned down just a notch and it's "waxier". The middle is where this one shines for me, same as the old one except it's amped up/ warms up much better. The base is also the same leathery vibe but also toned down a bit. I get 10+hrs longetivity and 3hrs almost 4hrs projection/scent cloud.

Old formulation: Opens up a little fresher and sweeter (less waxier) and with a stronger "lipstick" note/vibe compared to new reform...
The middle COMPARED to the new reform is a little dull and boring where the new reform warms up and stands out a little better. The base imo is better than the new reform, its much more richer and loud. I also get about 10hrs longetivity and about 2hrs projection/scent cloud.

In conclusion the 2 are very very similar to each other that it does take more than the average nose to tell the difference. Like someone else said new reform is 95% the same as old form, I would say the new reform is an almost perfect clone of the original except it came out with better attributes. IMO new dior homme is more wearable and more pleasing to the masses not to mention it has better long. and proj. I like old dior homme by a hairline just because I like the top notes and base notes. Either way you can not go wrong with either one of these two, just depends on how much you like it (preference) and how long you want it to stay on yourself...

After a few months on the 'Dior Reformulations are the work of the Devil' bandwagon I have now come to the conclusion that the new Dior Homme is in many ways a better fragrance than the one it replaces. Why?

Well, in spite of ditching the gleefully anachronistic and eccentric vibes of the original they have now given DH a 'wow factor' it never really had before! To do this they have given it some fresh iris notes (in addition to the powdery grey ones)and a new fruity warmth in the midnotes. This is closer in style to the Homme Intense Edp or if you like is a kind of halfway-house between the vintage DH and DHIs, possessing more substance and body with better longevity.

This version is more uplifting, more satisfying and more wearable in my opinion. In conclusion you now get a healthy dose of individuality coupled with the mainstream appeal required for everyday use.

A distinctive, unique, long lasting perfume which appeals to the lovers of something different..

I applied 6 heavy sprays

0 - 2.5 hours - 1 foot projection. This is a wet synthetic lipstick scent which is unusual and very unisex. It is sleek, night time and for the suave, clean cut handsome 30's classy metrosexual male, who can pull of something uncoventional

2.5 hours - 4 hours - 0.75 foot projection. Same scent but a little soapiness comes in, which starts to dilute the waxy lipstick effect

4-6 hours - 0.5 foot projection. Smelling the skin sees heavy soapiness, sometimes to the point of sickening, yet the scent which projects works much better with the soapiness; so this is one best sprayed perhaps on your torso, to let it waft upwards

6-9 hours- 3 inch projection. Very good. Soapiness less now. Occasional 6 inch waft of projection which is awesome

9 - 10.5 hours - 1-2 inch projection. Some spicy smokiness mingles in with the remaining soapiness

10.5 hours - 12 hours. Close to skin

Great longevity, unusual and different smell, not for the masses. Perhaps ahead of its time? and a sign of things to come?

Masterpiece

So much talk about reformulation of the dior homme.
This,start out with a huge blast of iris,a semi-fresh lipsticky powdery accord.
After 15 min sweetness from cacao start to be more stronger,but still shy in front of the iris.
30 min later,roles will be inversed,i mean it will be a sweet powdery cacao creamy buttery smell with iris background.
Do not imagine a sickly sweet or synthetic scent,it's well refined and well balanced.
Also leather is detectable,not the leather jacket type of feeling ,more suede like.
Absolutley sensual,nice and appealing !
It's between vintage dior homme and vintage dior homme intense,gourmandish touch is pushed on this one comparing to the original.
Polge version had a similarity with l'homme yves saint laurent,Demachy elliminate it.
Very good longevity (8+ hours),with above average projection.
Suitable for fall and winter,i think it's versatile also,can be worn to work,special occasion...
Can be unisex like others mentioned.
No big difference,but i like this version better just because it give me more sillage and longevity.

just picture a raisinet with chocolate being opened with irris and veitver and some spices. this is class and sex in a bottle just perfect my nose smelled alot of fragrancesbut this its in its own class

Very nice. I get that lipstick smell at the beginning, then it becomes slightly sweet and powdery on my skin. Fairly close to the skin, but I could smell it for 9 hours before showering. This is quality juice. Need to compare it against the Intense version. 9/10.

★★★★★
The relaunch is just a little bit more serious, a little bit more of leather, a little bit more "homme". but is it more interesting? i didn't find out yet.

I've had Dior Homme for a couple months now, and I've hesitated to write a review because I didn't know what to say. What can you say about something that, in my mind, has redefined men's cologne? I can't speak for the differences between the "classic" version and this reformulation, but I do know one thing - Dior Homme is quite literally class in a bottle.

I had my mind set on it after reading the reviews on this site, and found it at my local Hudson's Bay practically tucked away with the other Dior's by the elevators. Everything from the packaging to the bottle to the scent screams power and class. When I first tried it on, I immediately got the waxy lipstick note on my skin, but it faded very quickly (within ten minutes) into what is probably the most well-blended powdery cocoa-vanilla combination I've ever experienced. The longevity and sillage are crazy on this - people notice it, wherever you go. Pair it with a tailored suit and you'll feel like you're unstoppable.

I mean to try the entire Homme line (including the "classic" version), and I find myself going back to this day in and day out - it really pops in the winter air, and people immediately notice it when I walk by them. I highly recommend Dior Homme.

I don't really care for this fragrance much because of the initial blast reminds me of a cognac, which I don't like. Once it settles, however, it becomes a nice light and dry grassy wood scent that I enjoy (like a nice mixture of Prada Infusion d'Homme and d'Iris!) It's clean and masculine; perfect for a modern-day gentleman.

2011 (BLACK tube) v 2005 (SILVER tube):

2011 is less powdery. It lacks the beloved "lipstick note." The liquorice opening is mixed with passion fruit or something alike, it's less about pure liquorice. And the longevity is weaker.

If you like to smell iris in the leading role, I strongly advise you to stock up on the 2005 formula.

__

This was pure Murphy's law in action. I wrote a review of the 2005 formula yesterday, and intended to puchase the same version today. Of course, chances being 50:50, I got the 2011 version.

I love the smell of this reformulation, never tried the old one though so can't compare. I also love the new Intense version.

This lasts a long time on my skin, but it stays pretty close after a few hours but it's no biggie in my opinion, great for everyday use at work and university and then for nights out I switch to the Intense version which has the same base scent but sweeter and has great sillage.

It's somewhat ok, but I get constant makeup kit smell (not bad, but not what I'm looking for in men's frag. Low sillage, very close, doesn't last long on me (<2 hrs & it's very faint). I detect the powdery scent, not unpleasant, and maybe a hint of the cocoa as it dries down.I sometimes use cardamon seed as breath freshener, but I don't get the cardamon here at all.

Livid about this reformulation. The original Dior Homme was unique almost in contemporary mainstream men's perfumery (excluding classics and niche perfumery that is), it was beautifully designed and a beautifully composed and striking fragrance which had character and strength.

Frankly there are thousands of men's perfumes which smell exactly alike and which mark out their wearers as men who are afraid to stand out from the crowd, wearing Dior Homme in its original formulation marked one out as someone with a strong sense of style and as someone who didn't mind standing out.

It was also made of very good ingredients, and wasn't some sport-fragrance airport toilet urinal cake nightmare like so many other men's fragrances.

The current overall decline at the House of Dior has manifested itself in this poor quality, mediocre, characterless and cheap reformulation.

Thank god I have a bottle of the old Dior Homme EDP and a bottle of Dior Homme Intense EDP from 2010 stashed away, I'll be eeking them out and not wasting my money on the reformulation.

I wanna start by saying that I play in the team which hates reformulations. To me this is a total disrespect to the loyal costumers, since you're changing just what attracted the costumer in the first way making it a fan of a particular fragrance.

But giving the fact that nowadays the companies are almost only looking into the profit aspect instead of satisfaction, we gotta roll with what we got.

And by saying that, I would like to say that I didn't like the original Dior Homme! The makeup aroma was too much to my nose. When I heard that they were gonna reformulate it, I was like "what a disrespect!" but from inside I was: "my god, perhaps there's still hope for me with this masterpiece, perhaps now it will mix well with my skin!"

And so it happened! This reformulation opens up with the characteristic aroma of iris and the makeup smell attached into it, accompanied by a light note of bergamot. They toned down the iris! After 5 minutes, I was already smiling when a gorgeous cocoa/vanilla combo kicks in leaving a wonderful creamy trail which lasts until the end.

Anyway, I do hate reformulations, but this one was a huge thumbs up for me!

Definitely not a hate scent but please...the older one was SO much better!

Less iris in this one MEANS less lipstick smell. But this was the special thing about it.
Now its just another mainstream after some minutes (when the iris is gone and this fruity cacao comes in!)

Sad.

Sorry, but I don't like the "new" design. The old bottle with the chrome tube is much more elegant and look more expensive. This black plastic tube makes its look cheaper.
Why change it if you can't change it to something "better"?

forgot to mention this is a compliment getter , i wore this and the first 5 min. i got a compliment from a very attractive girl i didnt know! Women/girls will probly like this one better than the old formulation because the powder and wax note aint in your face !

So i went and bought this one today ! It smells 95% the same as the old formulation, its a lil watered down ! This is a powdery,waxy smelling frag. basicaly what i get the first hour1/2 is something like a cherry coverd in wax, light it up and thats the smell i get ! then the dry down gets powdery and a small hint of leather and gets closer to the skin.
Projection: 3.5 hours
Longevity: 6+hours

No cardamom in this one. Shame, it helps keep sweet notes grounded. Oh well. I had better stock up on both of the originals.

I love the Polge Dior Homme and i also love the Demachy Dior Homme. So whats the difference? The Polge version is more iris. The Demachy version is a bit sweeter, it has the iris but not as potent as Polge version.
At the dry down, Polge version is iris/vetiver blend, its what my nose gets.
At the dry down, Demachy version is less iris, vetiver/with a touch of sweetness to it.

Already at stores. Tried 2 times.
Not exactly same as the original but very similar.
Original was more woody and this is more leathery, more gourmandish and less powdery which seems to have slightly gourmandish touch of the intense.
Eventually I liked it.
I was trying to find the original at the stores, but no way to find since it is bestseller.

This to me is one of my favourites to wear on a nice evening out in the cold winter months or work functions in the evening. Very classy.

Is this simply a relaunch to toss Dior Homme back into the spotlight? Go for it. Whether the same or reformulated... this masterpiece is worth it.

just waiting to see the difference ! bs the notes listed r the same !
nevertheless, I adore it so much...
