Dior Homme Intense Dior for men

This is the only perfume in which I like the iris. Too elegant.

I blind bought this fragrance based on all the good reviews I had read and to be honest I really dont like it.
To me it smells like something an older lady who wears lots of make-up would wear. I really tried to like this fragrance but in the end just I gave up, the Iris note is too much for me in the opening and it lingers the most of the way through the fragrance.
The drydown isnt too bad as its gets a bit warmer with a coco vibe but as I said before I just dont like the Iris.
The projetion is pretty good though as it projects for a good 5-6 hours and the longevity is very good, I get around 12+ so its a pity that I just dont like the fragrance.
If you like the smell of make-up and coco then this is the fragrance for you.

My score:
Projection:8.5
Longevity:10
Fragrance:3

Ciao a tutti. Preciso di non aver ancora provato la versione del 2007 bensì quella attualmente in commercio: ragazzi è buonissima. E poi la pera, ma dov'è? Forse nella testa di qualcuno...... Nello sviluppo del profumo io avverto chiaramente cacao e vaniglia. Davvero un'ottima fragranza anche in considerazione del fatto che non si tratta di un profumo di nicchia.....
Notevole anche la longevità che va dalla mattina alla sera!

smells quite similar TO annick goutal ambre fetiche, perhaps its a lighter version. lasts almost 14 hours on my skin. awesome..... got many compliments...

Can anyone explain the difference and review them for me the differences between Dior Homme Intense from 2007 & 2011? I already learned of the differences between Dior Homme new and old (black & silver tube differences). Now I need this one. Thanks.

I love this fragrance. One of my top ones. I have seen 5 different looks. some old version hard to find that was in a metal casing, this one, some with silver tube inside, some with black tube inside and some with the same with Dior engraved on it and some not. I dont know what or which ones are the reformulated ones or not nor when they were released. I wish i can see a timeline provided by Dior of the released Dior Homme and a photo of its bottle to better understand. Everyone keeps talking about the new style of bottle, the version they have which has a detail on bottle missing or added and they get different release dates mixed up and some say are even discontinued but I still see them at malls or at airports. All i know is that they ALL smell the same to me and its sex in a bottle. Every woman compliments me. And I cant stop sniffing the bottle wanting to even spray it on me to enjoy it even when just at home but i dont want to waste it. i got the Dior Homme Intense and it shockingly smells the same as the original (which i thought would be different since essence and intence fragrance versions are usually modified and notes are intensified or changed)and it smells the same just lasts longer. and possibly stronger. In conclusion, its a great and UNIQUE fragrance and unlike anything else out there. So whoever says this is bad, or cant wear it or its too feminine or they cant smell it on themselves...well your missing out and way too closed minded. This one and original is amazing and does not cloy nor suffocate. It pleases the senses with both sexes thanks to the Iris flower, the lavender to ease and smooth the senses and other notes and the vanilla keeping things sweet & sexy...aphrodisiac

I´m soo in love with this scent! In my opinion this is a classy unisex perfume, neither masculine nor feminine... I can´t smell anything like makeup in it... On me it´s mostly iris but with a nice woody/spicy base to counteract the florals! I don´t know if I´ve tried the old or the new formulation... I´m guessing the new? Anyway, I´ve loved what I´ve tried and I wish I had the money to buy myself a bottle!

Too much iris i gret too much of the make up smell and lipstick with some ladies hand bag feel to it. Has some nice woody notes in the background. A very well made scent but very femminine in a masculine way. strangley i would not like smelling this on a women either. I think i dont like this scent but find it very well made. I have two samples of this and tried to like it but just deosn't fit my style. This will easily last 8-12 hours on skin. projection is very good. A very good scent for formal events for the evening.

Of course, if you want to kill other people, you can use in warm weather...

A masterpiece and one of my top ten fragrances for fall and winter and also in my wardrobe. I looove this fragrance! <3
It's a classy fragrance, great for special occasions for a gentleman with tie and suit.
Start semi sweet with vanilla, some lavender, huge dose of Iris note and only hint of coco.
Very pleasant and well balanced.
In the drydown, the iris note settle down and go in the background with almost powdery and so sweet scent of vanilla and coco. this is the best part of this fragrance. it's a little too sweet for some guys and that's the reason why they don't like it. but it's a incredible beautiful scent and it's god damn classy. very elegant and sexy!
In the base some woodsy notes joining the party and give this fragrance more masculine vibe, but they are in the background.
Project like a beast and last over 12 hours on any skin. it's a bomb!
یه عطر بی نهایت شیک و باکلاس که مناسب مراسمات خاص خصوصا محافل رمانتیک هست که شما با یه دست کت و شلوار و کراوات و این عطر میتونین نظر خیلی ها رو جلب بکنین
در ابتدا بوی نسبتا شیرینی داره به خاطر وانیل که بوی گل زنبق و سوسن، کمی گل لاوندر و مقداری کاکائو اونو همراهی میکنن
البته اون دو تا گل که نام بردم باعث نمیشن که بگیم عطر بوی گل میده و بوی زنانه ای داره. بوی خیلی بالانس و فوق العاده شیکی داره
در ادامه بوی گل زنبق و سوسن ضعیفتر میشه و در کنارش بوی وانیل و کاکائو خیلی قویتر میشن که اونو فوق العاده شیرین، ولی در عین حال بی نهایت خوشبو و شیک و باکلاس میکنن
نکته دیگه اینه که بوی کاکائو میده نه شکلات. منظورم بویی مثل پودر کاکائو هست نه یه چیزی مثل شکلات
در اواخر کمی رایحه های جنلگی به بوی اصلی این عطر اضافه میشه اما به خاطر وجود رایحه قوی وانیل و کاکائو زیاد نمیتونن خودشونو نشون بدن و در حاشیه هستن
پخش بو و ماندگاری این عطر بسیار بسیار زیاده
یه عطر بی نظیر برای فصل های سرد سال از جمله پاییز و زمستان

I don't know whether it was just my nose starting to better understand this scent, but after an hour the purest fruity pear note momentarily revealed itself, then blended into the background again. I love this!

Une pure merveille, l'iris y est fantastique, ce parfum, racé et puissant, est un formidable piège à fille, et sa tenue est irréprochable.
INDISPENSABLE.

I don't know what Dior lipsticks smell like, but Guerlain lipsticks smell very similar to this (i have the 2011 version), except there is not raspberry note in DHI.
It opens with lemony lavender, similar to Jicky (Guerlain again), that i consider to be perfect unisex too. A hint of lavender is present till the end, that comes in a loooong while, it lasts over 12 hours on my skin. The drydown is like Cuir Beluga or even more Jil by Jil Sander. Fragile powdery sweet vanilla and mild cedar wood. My husband says it smells like talc baby powder.
It's unisex at least. It doesn't turn to common sour mess typical for male frags. You can tell it's top notch quality. Liquid luxury.

Too bad that I can't find this in my country :(
It seems like something that I will really like.

ChristianSetian13,

Dior Homme Intense... lasts longer.

My Sister's wedding is in late June,which is better to wear Dior Homme [2011] or Dior Homme Intense [2011] ?
Thank you.

Hit me up if you are looking for vintage (3.4 oz) DHI. Anything that was made in 2011 is a black collar (reforumlated). The ones that I have are silver collar pre-2011 batches.

i got this blind not knowing what this smelled like. let me tell you guys....OMG!!!!! this stuff smells so good!!!1 i have been wearing this for the past week. all the girls love it. every night when i get home from work my wife tells me i smell really good, she then asks me if its that intense cologne. i guess i have the new DHI but it is still really good!

Sadly I disagree with many here. I do not know which of the reformulations each are referring to - as there may be many. My reformulation is from September 2011. The latest reformulation is good, it has the same vibe as my vintage January 2011.. So surely a good substitute for a not-so-special occasion..? But gradually things start to go wrong.. very wrong. The reformulation is far more pungent and feels like a heavy leather jacket where the vintage was warm and embracing. The reformulation is edging closer to Dior homme (non-intentense) in its tonalities, without loosing too much of the oomph, dropping some of the iris but definitely remains in the intense category.

I would categorise the vintage as an evening in scent for cuddling with your loved one, along with favourites like Narciso Rodriguez Musk, Rochas Desir, L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme. The reformulation is more sexy, daring, more of an evening out scent - but in a very wrong way for me. I actually find the scent very hard to swallow (figuratively speaking of course ;) as it becomes very heavy. Also on others (actually on many) it just smells rank when it mixes into smell of sweat.

The reformulation from September thus gets a thumb down, at least in comparison to the original DHI. The reformulation from May/April (I cannot remember which), however, is pretty much the same as the January version - if it's a reformulation at all. The information flying around has been very incoherent and there may have been several reformulations on different dates.

This is still a HIGH QUALITY fragrance, but it's definitely different. And saying that the reformulation (latest) is practically the same as the vintage and it's not worth paying for is definitely not true. Well.. ok, depends how much the price difference is. :) 50ml vintage is worth maybe $100-150 in my eyes, the reformulation I would not buy again.

this is for the reformulation batch from july 2011, have never smelt the "vintage". Beautiful fragrance that smells very close to dior homme but i like this one way more since i get 5 hours tops with dior homme and after 10 hrs with dior homme intense i can still smell it on my hand without my nose touching it where as i get 6-8 tops with YSL la nuit just to compare. I love the iris/make up note that lasts throughout its lifetime but i can see why some may not. I also get a very smooth creamy vanilla vibe a couple hours in and definitely no pear. Dont waste your money on the "vintage" thats selling for $250-$400 on ebay because its just being hyped up by probably the people selling it. if you like dior homme you will LOVE the reformulation of intense because its exactly what is says it is dior homme INTENSE and lives up to its name, especially for $70-$100 ;)

To try to simplify this fantastic aroma would be very difficult.. A cross between floral ITR and excellent aftershave..One of the most beautiful aromas around pure class.. M0RPHEUS says the rest..

...it's interesting how legends are made through SENTENCE EVOLUTiON !!!

I remember when Dior Homme Intense first came out, most people were actually complaining how Dior Homme lasted longer than Dior Homme Intense; people were perplexed by this because the "Intense" version should last longer due to being an EDP.

I believe people are psyching themselves out with this Dior Homme Intense reformulation hysteria. The truth is...the Dior Homme Intense reformulatioin is more rich & robust with a simple wrinkle; that wrinkle is in the midnotes where it is charmingly rugged as oppose to the DHI(vintage) which is elegantly smooth. But, when it comes to the basenotes, the reformulation is almost identical to the vintage; I say "almost" because in the basenotes the reformulation and the vintage are both playing the same sweet smooth song except the reformulation is playing the music LOUDER which is pretty intense. Longevity & projection is where the reformulation acutally defeats the vintage...it just lasts and lasts and lasts and LASTS into the next day bathing with you in the shower. DHI(reformulation) is one sexy beast & she gets what she wants...she knows me & she attracts the kind of women we both like...

My truth is.....i LOVE the DHI (reformulation) better than the DHI (vintage).

I say this in the finest french accent ~~> fantastic & merci beaucoup, Francois Demachy.

Ok, so I'm actually wearing my DHI (reformulated) for the first time... I did 3 sprays (well actually 4 because I had to respray an area since I missed the first time lol.) Anyway, I LOVE it. The makeup feel lasts a little under 2hrs on my skin and it's nowhere near as potent as DH, so I don't mind it. After that, it smells super sexy and sophisticated. I can't really explain WHAT it smells like. The best I can think of is a Pear, wearing lipstick, while laying in a field of flowers...(try and picture that.) I'm wearing it to work so, the smell is slightly out of place. I feel like I should be on a date or at an upscale bar. Projection is great, especially when my skin tends to absorb colognes like a sponge. I got 2 compliments today so I know it's projecting, even after 5hrs. Longevity is amazing I've had it on since 10am, and it is now 6pm and I can still smell it on my neck. Reformulation or not, I am 100% satisfied with this purchase. especailly at $106 shipped for 100ml

This is one of the few fragrances that i know that you can really notice some development...a mastercraft in perfumery; the vanilla drydown is gorgeous along with the woody undertones is very cold where i live so projection wasn´t that good but i can still notice it at this time (i applied it at 10:00 a.m. and is 10:51 p.m right now!)smells a little bit like chocolate but like a dark chocolate.love it!





98/100

Simply addicting and classy, love every bit of this new reformulation. Not tried the old version so I can't compare there.

Lasts a LONG time on my skin, projects well and has great sillage. It's absolutely perfect for nights out and it will last the entire night smelling dreamy and classy. I would definitely recommend buying this along with the non-Intense version which is the perfect daytime scent to go along with this one!

Just remember not to spray it too much, especially in warmer climates and then go to terraces unless of course you want the whole place to notice you've arrived ;)

First off. I originally did not like this scent when i first smelled it. Idk why but every single time i smelled it after. I freakin loved it! This is one of my top 5 favorite scents i have!! Love it. But DO NOT BLIND BUY!
On the reformulated part: And this is just MY OPINION.
I have a tested both original and new formulations side by side on both hands. More than once. And i can tell you, the differences between the 2 are barely, barely noticeable. And when i have either my mom, sister, fiance', or freind smell it, they can't tell a difference at all. The only thing i notice different between the 2 is that the iris note is not as "out there" as the original. Longevity is about the same. Still an amazing scent, I'll take a reformulated DHI that is 95% the same over no DHI.

I just realized that my new bottle of DIH is the reformulated one! It has the black collar and the date of manufacturation is April 2011...so...I can find slight differences between these two...overall in the middle notes where i guess they replaced the cocoa with the pear, but i repeat a slightly difference that if you don't have a trained nose you weren't able to know which one is which.
The sillage of the new DHI is weaker than the vintage formula, but maybe it's until the bottle loose some alcohol and the perfume become more oily...

Why, why why why, WHY ON GODS clean earth would one want to EVER change the lovely composition of the older intense version? Why, does anyone know why they did it? give it another name or something, whatever BUT not changing the prior one. Am really sad about that, one should start a petition on things like this, seriously... I havent gotten to test this version but I`m, was and will always be in luv with the older one. Shame on U Dior. I might have to change my signature scent if am disappointed OR stock the older one.

Edit:
Just tried the new one and the difference optically isnt really realisable, I couldnt notice any difference with my older bottle and this new one, otherwise U notice pear and lavender at the beginnin instantly at first sniff, like said below me, the lipstick odour kicks in and the rest is a small hint of vanilla/musk which is not as warm and intensive as in the old one, about the longevity? That hasnt been tampered with much but this DARKER, WARMER vetiver/vanilla/musky dry down is way lighter than in the older version. I find it sad to say its nolonger my signature scent, BUT its still in my top 3 Top fragrances of ALL TIME, so even with the reformulation, its worth every €. Sorry its the european speakin lol.

I am smelling it right now and I cannot believe that what I am smelling is pear!
for an untrained nose like mine, it smells like a faint cocoa and sugar. And I like it! I cant smell any makeup in the beginning, more of a waxy fresh-cut flower. unless that's the same?

Ummmmmm yeah......

So I guess if you have been "stocking up" on this over the last 2 months or so, and ordering from strawberrynet or one of its sister companies, you apparently have been ordering the new one with out even knowing it... Kinda' rude.

The new one has a very pronounced lavender note (usually shows up in the mid) and dries down to a creamy cacao with not really much vanilla at all. I don't get the pear or the cedar, but the vetiver is definitely present, adding a kind of spicy kick to the creamy cacao (cocoa) accord. I also find that this one does NOT last as long as the original DHI and doesn't even last as long as the original Dior Homme. THAT'S RIGHT!! The original Dior Homme is stronger than the new Intense. Kinda sad. Actually, its VERY sad!

Everyone thought that this wasn't going to hit the shelves until mid September; as it turns out, this has been available in Europe and Asia for a while now. Oh well.

I DO like the way this smells, being a fan of powdery male frags, however, I just like the original one better.

extremely sensual. a heavenly vanilla dry down. i cannot get enough. it has a very elegant, alluring and soothing vibe.

A powdery, smoky vanilla-like frag, which is strong yet subtle....

I applied 6 heavy sprays...

0-2 Hours. 1.5 foot projection of subtle smoothness! It wont knock anyones block off, it doesn't need to.. The main difference between this one and the original is the synthetic smell of lipstick remains throughout with the new edition, whereas it disappears soon after the start with the original and the orginal then turns into a smouldering, powdery, vanilla bomb. This edition has a balance between the synthetic lipstick smell and vanilla and doesn't change throughout. I miss the original I do confess after having both now for a long period. The oily, wet lipstick start of the original followed by that powder cloud of whiteness which followed me all day; this new one just is not as good, in fact the new EDT is better than this EDP as it remains truer. Having said that, the old one and new one, both EDT and EDP are all fab in there own way

2- 4 hours. 1 foot projection but very subtle. Same smell which projects, but on the skin is very harsh smokiness

4 hours - 6 hours. 7 inch projection, very subtle projection but still there

6 hours - 8 hours - 3 inch projection, extremely subtle. You think it is going to disappear, but it doesn't and keeps going, my little braveheart

8 hours - 12 hours -close to skin

A valiant attempt to mimic an iconic legend; this is great in its own right, but falls short of original EDP and the new EDT

Quality

Already at stores. Tried 2 times.
Start is absolutely different where the original starts powdery, lipsticky.

Here vanilla is not listed but I get vanilla much more clear than the original, or maybe something resembles the vanilla accord, but sure the main player is this vanillic note.
Other main difference looks like to be having fresh fruity citric notes, powderiness of the original almost has gone.
For the untrained nose new DHI may seem very similar to the original.
Eventually I liked this version also. U may even like it more.
I was trying to find the original at the stores, but no way to find since it is bestseller.
New DH is more similar to the original when compare to this.

There is a possibility the original Homme wil be discontinued. Have you evr heard of the cologne Vito Andolini? Not sure if its difficult to find in stores but I see them in malls and retail price is $19-@29 dollars. The eau de toilette is EXACTLY the same as Dior Homme. Sme ingredients and lasts the same on skin. I bought a bunch of them as well as Dior Homme as I see not all stores carry Dior Homme. And I use the Vito Andolini to not use up the designer fragrance of Dior Homme. You wont be able to tell which one your wearing as they are the same and receive compliments. Google it. Its hard to find in itself but if you do find it its great to purchase if your a fan of and dont want to waste your Dior Homme.

Basically in September Dior will be releasing reformulated versions of both the original and the intense. Whilst the original looks like it is going to be tweeked the intense will be a complete overhaul ie a different fragrance.

With the intense the cocoa/vanille and amber are going to be removed and they are adding pear and ambrette which is a musky type scent. So it is changing from a sexy seductive semi gourmand fragrance that we know and love to a fruity musky cocoction. And that is why a lot of us are buying back up bottles because the current formula will in time disappear from the shops.

yes, but intense is great, lasts much longer and draws very positive comments from both sexes.This has become a main stay in my collection.
