Dior Homme Intense Dior for men

با دوام بسییار بالا
و بسیار شیک
واقعا اگر با این بو ارتباط برقرار کنید، یکی از قویترین کارهاست در دنیای عطرها

This review is for the silver collar vintage which is near impossible to find nowadays if you don’t own it already like I thankfully do! Bliss in a bottle, the elixir of life, the holy grail of men’s fragrance. If you have not tried it you are missing out on the greatest olfactory experience of all time. Once I smelled this I liquidated my entire collection just to buy more DHI Vintage. Too bad Dior had to butcher this into smelling like an ashtray making out with a pear wearing lipstick.

Projection 100/100
Uniqueness 100/100
I walk around smelling my hand all day…sniff sniff! Mmmmmmm!

Yes it smell very nice. But it is OVERHYPED.

I think the 'lipstick' note is far subtle in this composition.

Is much more smoother than the original, very sexy and elegant- everyone says so too! I really like the lavender/vetiver undertone when blended with the amber during the drydown, is fantastic, I think definitely niche quality!

5/5 always.

A wonderful "Masterpiece" of a fragrance. It is a true upgrade from the original Dior Home with it's sensual, smooth, romantic scent that really envelops you and the person that you are with. A truly one of a kind fragrance for everyone to enjoy around you. Very nice indeed!

I recently tried the Intense and found it utterly boring. No real difference from the current Dior Homme, just a disturbingly sour vanilla note in the drydown. Sillage is weaker too. I really don't see the point of buying this over the original or in general

this is one of my special occasions fragrances, kinda like terre d'hermes edp. just when i thought dior home edt couldnt get any better- here comes the edp. the edt is a masterpiece and the edp is a MASTERPIECE. great work dior. as far as the new reformulated versions, one question, why?

niiiiiic parfum

Dior Homme Intense. Ohhh Dior and your infamous reformulations!!!!! Well I have this version and will review, what is now the "vintage" DHI. If you don't like the dominate Iris in the original this one is tamed a bit. However Iris is still there and still quite noticeable, just not as sharp.

What you have here is Iris, Vanilla, Cocoa which turns a bit powdery but not in a Chanel way.

I don't know about the notes so let me tell you what I smell. Upon the intial blast I get bergamot that is quickly joined by the Iris and Cocoa. The bergamot goes away after the first 15 mintues and then the Vanilla and maybe a light amber joins the party (why bergamot and cocoa are not listed are beyond me but they are there).

As the scent dries down you have a slight sharpness from the cocoa and Iris which is smoothed out by the Vanilla and the powder coming from the amber I believe. What you have at about the third hour is a sexy/subtle beast of a scent. You can smell this on you without trying easily in the 12th hour. It doesn't project or have sillage like the original (that one travels) but still gives you a 2 ft bubble that anyone near your neck will be entranced. Compliment factor is good (not like the original but that is due to the projection).

I would cut down on the versatility of this one, good for the office, great for a date but it may have to be cooler or go very light on the trigger and only at night in the summer. The sun will destroy you with this one. Overall it is a 5/5 fragrance. My best blind buy by far.

one word sexy!!!Can't stop smelling my husbands neck when he wears it!makes me think of the new barbiedolls that i had for present when i was younger strange mayby but to me is so sweet and comforting.Don't want other woman to smell this on my man actually ;-)

I have bottle with a production date of 7/2011. I'm not sure if it's the reformulated version. I have to say that I can never get tired of this scent. I love the vanilla & chocolate smell at dry down. it's a strong perfume with great projection. I rate it 10/10.

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

very sexy and daring man's parfume. Not going to describe it. But def a statement parfume, not for the average guy. Love this!! My mom loves it too. It think its better than the original.. you have to let the parfum develop. It may not be love at first sniff i guess

I don't understand how people might like this stuff - all I can smell from this perfume is lipstick.... Sad...it's very long lasting and powerful, but my nose detects only the lipstick :(

نسبت به دیور هوم خیلی فرق کرده.خیلی شیک تر و سنگین تر شده.دوستش دارم .ولی متاسفانه فقط برای فصله سرد میطلبه.

i could bath in this scent.love her vanilla tones and sweet smell. but on the other side it´s very masculine for me.

I tried Dior Homme Intense in the store today. Instant buy. What a great scent! A girlfriend was with me and I let her take a sniff: she was crazy about it too. Then I told her it smells like lipstick and make-up. She confirmed it, but... since it smelled so good, it didn't matter to her. Neither do I care about it :)

REVIEW OF DARRSHAN

THIS IS THE INTENSE EDP VERSION AND ALSO EXPENSIVE TOO, BUT THIS HAS AN AMAZING LONGEVITY MIND BLOWING, THE BOTTLE IS OUTSTANDING DEEP, THIS SCENT STAYS CLOSE TO UR SKIN AND AFTER 10 HRS IT TURNS A LITTLE MILD , A REALLY GOOD ONE FOR MEN TO TRY OUT FOR, SO THOSE WHO R OUT LOOKING FOR LONGEVITY WITH QUALITY SCENT AND BOTTLE PLS SPEND SOME MORE MONEY AND GO FOR THIS STUFF.

This is class in a bottle. Definitely for cool weather evenings only. My wife took an instant liking to it from the first spray.
Such a smooth, sweet and warm scent and so luxurious. I like the spritzer as it really lets you control the amount you need to spray. Ideally it should be worn with suit / tuxedo at formal events or dates with your wife.
1 or 2 sprays are sufficient. This scent is too good to be applied liberally. Too good for everyday use.
I did notice that it is being advertised every where I look latley...damn it...I don't want too many people wearing this. Ah well, maybe I should have given it a bad review to put guys off it, but I can't cos it's just too good.

I live in Hungary and i got this a week back as Birthday gift, i do not know if its the cold or some other issue that my perfume dosent last more then 1 hour to 45 mins, after that i need to put my nose on my skin to smell this ! Any how i even do not like the smell!

عطر لن يخذلك ابداً

فخامة + هدؤ +انتعاش = ديور

اذا كنت تعشق الحداثه فهو مصمم لك .

عطر رائع وفخم لمن يحب رائحة العنبر والفانيليا معا

عطر رائع وفخم لمن يحب رائحة العنبر والفانيليا معا

And yes!!!I wear Armani acqua di gio,BUT on christmas and winter period,i love this unussual night parfume:)

If i were a girl,this would do it for me...This guys is sexi...Its my babie...The best one i ever smelt....

cocoa vanilla heaven in a bottle. I no way expected this after testing original Dior Homme (EDT).

Made me like fragrances.

5/5 all way, even if it was double the price.

Amouage, go shove this somewhere special, and get lost please.

eau de parfum is long lasting
my GF loves it..

Ummmmmm yeah......

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

The main differences between this one and the new formulation are that 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. This one dries down to a an almost velvet-like vanilla. I don't get the pear or the cedar, from the new one but the vetiver is definitely present, adding a kind of spicy kick to its cacao/cocoa (not listed) dry-down. I also find that the new one does NOT last as long as this one. In fact, it 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 the new version 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 the new one smells, being a fan of powdery male frags, however, I just like the original one better. These are only my humble opinions. Thanks again.

JJ

i got a very very good copy with same sillage for 20 dollar called Lomani Essential (cool box and nice looking bottle)

guys believe me i put DH intense on my left arm and Lomani essential on my right arm and compared both its exactly the same but cheaper and the brand is not dior , thats all

if you want to save your money but want this fragrance buy Lomani Essential

I agree this is the best mens colonge dior has by far!!!!Its so warm,creamy and sexy!It last all day damn near this should of been a parfum.1#

One word ~ MASTERPIECE !

And I certainly hope the imminent 09/2011 reformulation isn't going to neuter or F' it up completely !?
Not to mention, why, why, oh why was it necessary to tamper with perfection in the first place ?

(I can already hear the sharpening of pitchforks & the smell of burning torches in the distance ..... ) ;o)

Caramel apples, face powder, fresh air, purse leather and a touch of lipstick.

I just love it! Seems more a ladies scent to me.

UD: I have become brave enough to buy this beauty, even though it is classified as a man's scent.

Apple pie!! In love.

I will be trying Boss Bottled as well....thank you to a few fragrantica friends with fantastic noses!!!

Got this one about a week&half ago,not sure if it`s a new formula or the old one.Is there any diference visualy?I`ve got black tube in a bottle,sprayer is black and a bit under it is also black with dior homme writen on it.

Wonderful... no more words.
Simply the best...

absolute masterpiece . this really represent what a great fragrance should be.. its sexy and warm woody vanilla opening with a bit of spiciness and the dry down is just as perfect amber and vanilla . its an absolute must have for every man who wants to get noticed
. good job DIOR

I take this in norwegian first since I am norwegian too :-)

Hei

Meningene er veldig delte om dette. Noen mener den med sølvkrage er den gamle sorten. Det stemmer nok forsåvidt, men jeg leste på basenotes at også den gamle sorten tappes på flakonger med sort krage frem til endringen blir foretatt i september. Kort fortalt: Alle Homme Intense du finner i Norge nå skal være av gammel type. Jeg kjøpte nettopp en selv (med sort krage) og jeg kan ikke lukte noen forskjell.

In english:

Opinions are very divided about this. Some say the silver collar is the old variety. That's probably right, but I read on basenotes that even the old formula is tapped on flacons with black collar until the change is made in September. In brief: All Homme Intense found in Norway will now be the old type. I just purchased one myself (with black collar) and I can not smell any difference.

Can anyone please tell me how I can tell the difference between the bottle with the old formula and the bottle with the new formula.? Are there any visual differences??

I usually start writing "poetic" reviews on fragrances that i love. But this one is ... indescribable...i'm out of words.

My hands-down favorite scent of all time .

How sexy a fragrance can be? Well, go on and try Dior Intense, and you will find out...

This fragrance is a masterpiece in my eyes (I'm talking about the old formula, since I have never come across the reformulation, yet)

The pyramid of this one should not be described in notes, but in adjectives. And it should be like this:

Top: Classy
Heart: Sexy
Base: Elegance

Dior Homme Intense starts out with a dominant orris note, but without being too intense as in the original formula of Dior Homme with all that makeup smell. Here we have a velvet aroma of it leaving a wonderful impression.

Throughout time, the cocoa and vanilla kicks in giving this fragrance a very sexy aroma that projects and lasts a long time without suffocating you people around you. And so it goes on, with all it's elegance aroma.

A true masterpiece that should be in the wardrobe of every man.

This is a great fragrance. I had heard of the 'women's make-up' note that's in it (and supposedly even stronger in Dior Homme EDT), and was a little wary of that, but it turns out that it's done really well.

Dior Homme Intense opens up with a waxy make-up note and a twist of lime. The make-up vibe is not necessarily feminine, despite its association, and the lime adds a very interesting aspect to the top. But where DHI goes from there is the best part...

The drydown is beautiful. The make-up fades, settling in as it transforms into a soft, velvety cocoa and vanilla that reminds me of a pastry...though it's not overly sweet in the direction of say Rochas Man (smells nothing like RM btw) or Blue Sugar...it avoids being 'sugary'...I heard Turin described it as 'baked apple pie' and at times that definitely comes through and I can see the comparison.

The longevity is very good and the sillage, I believe, is perfect for a fragrance of this intensity...it doesn't blast off the skin, but instead leaves a smooth haze around the wearer and a soft, though prevalent, scent trail.

As far as occasions, I'm very comfortable wearing this with a sweater and jeans, but I probably wouldn't go t-shirt and sweats...I would describe its style as casually elegant and comforting. Great for a romantic dinner out or a quiet night in, preferably in colder weather.

For any one put off by the idea of the 'make up' note, rest assured it will grow on you very quickly and remains light enough so that it's never off-putting.

DHI also smells great on clothes! (If that's your thing)

A unique and all around excellent scent.

It will be reformulated on September 13, 2011.

I think I got grandmas powder bomb on...
I love the dior homme original this is too much vanilla and powder

I just got me 2 bottles of DHI and both 3.4 oz so im set for a while ,soch a beautiful fragrance sexy stuff rigth here my friends,dont miss on this one and go get ur shelf a bottle while u can...before the reformulated version hit the shelves.

nice perfume

Its warm, dark, sexy, very long lasting and it gives the feeling of wealth. OMG its really the best men perfume for the next 3 years

Mother ucking awesomeness!

I’m not the biggest fan of describing individual notes. I like to think of a fragrance from a holistic perspective. So all I’m going to say about Dior Homme Intense is...................................jizz

Beautiful in the beginning, a classy smelling lavender, I considered buying this for my brother, however, really I wanted it for myself! Warms up as the lavender fades, very strong on the vanilla for a man's scent but I still love it, the iris is also very prominent.

Smells expensive, distinctive and lacks that cheap generic used-in-laundry-product-musk most men's scent churned out these days seems to have, the kind that makes me nauseous, and for that it scores tons of points. On me, or on a man, I love it.

Reason I don't own it...sadly too broke to buy any!

@chrismriley

Owner of the perfume(formula) and the producer is IFF for the actual versions.
Dior is only the owner of the name, so name isn't going to be changed. Dior wants to stop business with IFF and wants to produce by himself. So has to refill the bottle with another juice. Here comes why they creating new perfume, actually it is not reformulation, it will be something new. But I m sure they did something quite similar to the original.

Somebody knows why this was reformulated?
This original version is a masterpiece already. It is really pity. I should stock all I can find.

EDIT:
I ve found why.
Dior is not the owner of the formula, and wants to own and produce in-house, so has to reformulate it by legally. So here comes to mind reducing costs also, then it is not guaranteed that the new formula will have the same quality ingredients. But at least trying to reproduce the similar smell by as less change as possible.

ok, i admit i was wrong..
I tested this 3 weeks ago on my wrist and it caught my watch.... it is still on my watch projecting a sweet, strong vanilla scent..!!!!

Got a bottle today and it does have an opening lipstick yuck effect but I shuldn't judge a book by its cover..it turns into a sumptous monster of amazing projection...it's a pleasure to have this float around me all day...

it is somehow on the one hand a sweet, sticky vanilla scent, yet is still powerful and strong...

Stunning

I have 50 ml half bottle and I've just bought a full 100ml before the new reformulation, I like it this way and I assured I'll have it for a long time. :-)

Update: 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 replace the cocoa wiht 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...

it makes my day....
very energetic... when im fed up of my work i get refreshment from this...love it...

vanilla wood ....

opens iris woody dry down vanilla wood

This thing will discontinue just now jul 2011
so if you love it get it now

the new one is different.

I just got this one. One of the most pleasant and delicate fragrances that I've own and worn. It's like having all the elysian fields on a single bottle. Absolutely distinguished and delightful. A must in any perfume collection!

not very much iris perfumes are out there that are so strong and long lasting as this is! I also like the leathery drydown, the only thing I would change is the top, for me it's just not so dry as it should be, and I feel something sythetic to it, which ruins a bit the effect, but on my skin works out just perfectly!

great perfume, I use it because I think it may be used by a woman, gorgeous Powder iris and vanilla in the base, very well combined with Jil by Jil Sander and Shalimar Parfum Initial.

Elegant Vanilla all around. For the mature and alluring. Not for every one.

یک کار فوق العاده
بسیار شیک
ماندگار
قوی
جذاب
خاص و منحصربه فرد
سکسی
فقط در روزهای خنک و سرد باید استفاده شود زیرا در غیر اینصورت هم استفاده کننده و هم سایرین را با اسانس قوی که دارد خفه می کند

A very sexy fragrance with that lipstick accord drowned out by the chocolate cocoa. Seduction in a bottle. Damn good stuff.

Probably the best perfume in the world...
Excellent longevity and perfect projection...
Of all the perfumes that I will, I think the Dior Homme Intense is the best...
There is no single fault that I can do this perfume...
Dior Homme Intense and A*Men are the only perfume I've ever had and may never fills me...They are fabulous first to the last drop... It is impossible to get tired of these two...
Absolutely brilliant...
Looking for a really special and charismatic fragrance, buy Dior Homme Intense... Never will regret...

smelling this perfume,you will think that you are in a confectionary...It has the scent of a cookie package paper...............

smelling this perfume,you will think that you are in a confectionary...It has the scent of a cookie package paper...............

I believe that it is really mistake, I have never seen intense as edt version....
Dior Homme is edt, but Intense ir just edp (and it is available 50ml nd later was launched 100ml too)...I think that it is really mistake, I think that there is no intense edt..

please i want better explanations, This perfume, launched in 2007 is intense and sophisticated, a true succeeder of Dior Homme from 2005 and Dio Homme Cologne from 2007. Composed of floral and woody accords, just like its forerunners. The bottle is the same. The composition seduces with the notes of lavender, iris, vanilla, amber, Virginia cedar and vetiver. This a limited edition, available only in EAU DE TOILETTE 50ml bottles. The nose behind this fragrance is Francois Demachy.THE TEXT IS WRONG ??

thanks,Minnija, I'll buy and then I'll post my opinion, this will be the first EDP I buy, I hope it's good, I doubt , because the TEXT ON THE TOP OF DIOR says versions are available EDT 50ml

just edp :)

Please, I have a doubt, this INTENSE version, there is only EDP or EDT version also exists? thank you

I have been chasing this scent down for years and have finally found a place to get it at a rather REASONABLE price. I mean I would pay the $100 plus for this from those selling on eBay because it is THAT GOOD, but hey, getting it for a cheaper price isn't bad at all.Now to the fragrance it self. If you like the original Dior Homme, you would love this. It has got that iris note in it like the orginal, but is not as pronounce. DHI is...well...intense, compared to the original. It has more of a gourmand quality to it, as it is sweeter...probably that vanilla/benzoin. If i were to only have one fragrance for the rest of my life it would be DHI. It's scent makes me want to cry because it is SOOOOO beautiful. If you can find this, pick it up, you won't regret it.This is my #1 fragrance of all time and will have a bottle of this in my collection forever.

Longevity:A
Projection:A
Uniqueness:A+
Versatility:B
OVERALL: A+

Douche Meter: 1/5

This is a great scent! It has less spices and vetiver than the original Dior Homme which makes it more rounded and also -as I'm a woman- more easily wearable. If I were a man though, I'd go for the original Dior Homme. I like it even better than this one because I find it more spicy. In any case, these two along with Terre d'Hermes are my favorite men's perfumes.

This is my signature scent.
This is a piece of art from Dior , the vanila & iris combo is insanly amazing in my skin ,very sexual and seductive ,the cedar and vetiver form a woody accord that is both masculine and refined.The drydown is heavenly pleasant creamy milk chocolate.Im totally enjoying this fragrance & I think this will be in my wardrobe forever.

Weard, but it smells like mint and medicine to me :( Very intence and mild at the same time. Good for winter time, I guess.

Good, very good, powdery, linear, a bit feminine and vanilla all over. Lasting power is amazing as well, I sprayed this on my wrist and 2 days and 2 showers later I could still smell it.

It's just not for me, the vanilla and vetiver combination made it smell like lipstick on my skin.
It is very good on other people though.

Just irresistible. This is an extraordinary, beautiful, full-bodied, rich toffee-apple, magical aroma.

One of my all-time faves,

Hi Vanilla, there u r! great 4 a nite, to impress ur girlf, great!

Want one! I guess that soon I will buy it!! very soft, elegant, attention caller!

cest du rouge a levre ca pas un parfum!!!!

Masterpiece from Dior.
Must not be for every body. DHI for special man and special occasion

warm , sexy perfume not for daily work

guys i smelled it today definetely on my whish list why
?
because in this perfume you can smell the vanille out !
a good mixture of notes and an elegant perfume again

i would say because it is not a dark scent you can wear it in summer for sure !

but in my opinion its a fragrance where you should look which clothing you wear!
it should be suited

All i can say it this fragrance is a Beast..

se existe um perfume que deva ser chamado de elegante, este é com certeza!!!lembra formaturas,festas black-ties e eventos de alto nível.não consigo enxergar outro uso para este perfume, que pede uma roupa bem formal!!sillage mosntro e fixação idem!!excelente!!

The smoothest perfume i have ever smelled. My girlfriend says it smells like a bakery and i kninda agree, Vanilla and vetiver in the base give that vibe.

The sillage of this perfume is perfect. The secnt trail is not so long but it projects nicely in 2ft circle.The longavity is another good area which makes me like this perfume more.
i use it for nightouts, it gives me a sense of confidence for two resons- 1st it smells nice and 2nd- i am not likely to bump into some one who is smelling like me, because in my openion about 80 percent of the guys in a club are wearing 1 millon, and the remaining- le male.

My final score for Dior Homme intense

Scent- 8.5/10
projection- 9.5/10
longavity- 9/10
uniqueness- 9/10

half way through my bottle, i decided to spray 1 spray in the morning, this thing lasted for more than 24hours. The next morning befor my shower i could have still smelled it as if i just sprayed it

A truly masterpiece.
Very high quality ingredients.
Open with the famous lipsticky accord for about 30 min,iris is very intensive in this stage.
After that,vanilla present itself in a strong way giving a very powdery,sweet scent.
So calm,relaxing and appealing.
Great for special occasion , a piece of art for fall and winter.
Longevity 12+hours with moderate projection.
If it's a cloudy cold days it can be worn to work easily.

It starts with the iris (natural one) on the top and the gourmand on the back. The drydown brings a switch places where the iris go to the back and the gourmand note go to the top. On my skin, the gourmand note was milk chocolate, not just the cocoa as we know.
The longevity is a little disappoint, 7h-8h, but the sillage and the projection were amazing.
Perfect frag for romantic dates!

I love this fragrance.Very relaxing & masculine.A superlative eau de parfum of the very finest quality.Perfect for any occasion,but ideal for spring & summer.

It doesn't seem like a popular thing to write, but all I got from this was a very strong synthetic lipstick/cosmetic note. Okay, there is also a (nice) dark chocolate accord, but I just couldn't get past the lipstick note.

I admit that I tried to wash this off my wrist after approximately 30 mins, so it is possible it would have evolved further for me. I say "tried" because this juice just doesn't give up the fight. I washed my wrist 3 times, took a shower and could still detect a hint hours later! I envy those who like Dior Homme Intense as it has the staying power that so many fragrances seem to lack for me.

Hmm... let me think so that I can best review this the best I can... well... its kind of hard, since all there´s to say has practically been already uttered.. but I´ll add this, from the first sniff of this, I was beamed to seventh heaven ;-), its got this RICH, RICH, RICH, DARK, WARM, LOVELY charachter one cant really describe, its present all the time, and I mean REALLY all the time.. it was definatley luv at first sniff hehe... and the longevity omg, its excellent,all the new stuff of today is just poor in longevity, I mean they smell good alright but then thats it, its always only the top notes and then they disappear without a trace...BUT this my friends is a master piece from DIOR. Peace to the makers. definatley still in my Top 1 Fragrances lmao.. sorry, they are others fightin for #No1 hehe.

No depth, misses quality ingredients!
Compare this to Bois d'Iris from The Different Company and you'll see that it just not a good fragrance. Only the top smells good.

Intense indeed. This is a really good EDP. Not much is needed for the full effect, which is a good thing, considering the price. Opens with some heady florals and vanilla, and then the rich dark chocolate takes over . . . and lasts, and lasts, and lasts. Sweet, but not cloying. Sillage seems excellent.

One word: Exquisite. This is something you could expect to smell at a nice brasserie, and it's richly sweet but never cloying.

Very relaxing and pleasant to you and those around you and those who want to get close to you. The premier date/going out/nighttime scent.

Perfect longevity and sillage.

It is a men's fragrance, but I could easily see a lady wearing this on occasions too. It can make a man or a women smell sexy.

Why they made this limited edition I'll never know haha if Dior marketed it right it would be an absolute hit! Highly recommend.

I will keep it simple. What I get from this fragrance comes in two parts. The first part, or initial opening is the iris. This note can smell like lipstick or makeup and for me I get a sweet play dough like smell. This is a very unique note that is not usually found in mens fragrances. Although it makes it unique, it is not for everyone. The iris comes off sophisticated and elegant to a lot of people. The best part about this fragrance is the next phase. The vanilla comes into play and mixes with the iris. This creates a nice balance between the iris and vanilla and it creates a soft and smooth sweet vanilla type scent. This is the part of the fragrance that I enjoy the most.

Overall Rating.
Scent- 4 out of 5 points.
(which includes smell, uniqueness, compliments etc)
Longevity- 2 out of 2 points.
Projection- 1 out of 2 points. The projection is around average
Versatility- 1 out of 1 points.

Final Score- 8 out of 10.
Its elegant, its unique, its classy. The bottle is very well done and it is the type of scent that pushes the envelop and is outside of the box.

The cons is that the iris is a catch 22.. and not everyone will like it. Some people do not want to smell like makeup/lipstick.

Considerations- give it a chance because it is not all about the iris, but the vanilla combined with it to create a simple yet elegant fragrance.

Apparently gianmarco would banish all women who dare to wear men's fragrances (especially his singature scent) - upon reading reviews, a lot of women from here...

I doubt there's anything wrong if a girl/woman dare to wear whatever scent she likes and wants to wear (especially if these scents are not overtly masculine, as I find for example KenzoPower or Infusion d'homme slightly more feminine than masculine).

HAHAHA! "gianmarco" it was so fun!
But I follow Endymion. Women do more that %30 of men perfumes sale and some men wear feminine ones too.
Few centuries ago men used to wear feminine perfumes and in the era of Queen Elisabeth I, she had banned British women to make up their face and wear perfumes. Instead, dress up was a routine luxury habit for men; they used to use lipsticks, intense floral perfumes, eye-shadows, cheek-shadows and etc!
Funny, no? But it was so serious and a topic of competition among men!

ladies, dont listen to what endymion wrote, hes a clown. Its a mens scent and would be nice if it would stay that way, but i see what women like in this, is soft and could resemble some womens perfumes. This is my edited note

A very soft fragrance, but not as shocking as the original 2005 EDT( it has been sadly reformulated and it smells great, but a little safer). It is a cocoa-vanilla-floral kind of fragrance, still related to the original, long lasting, but not as sillage monster as AMen. Sensual, classy, it can be worn anytime, anywhere, not just for the night.I agree, however, that a woman can perfectly wear it: even 1 Million has more masculine notes( but that is not neccesarily a bad thing).

P.S: Despite the fact that is a very well done perfume, I will give more credits for Dior Homme for its originality. Dior Homme EDT is definitely more masculine, but also I would find a woman very sexy to wear it.

Hi.

INTRODUCTION:Let me leave another review about DIOR HOMME INTENSE,because my signature deserves more attention and let me again tell you this DIOR EDP is a masterpiece.In my opinion one of the most important factors about great fragrance is how unique the smell is to you personally and DHI is one of the best I've tried.

MY DEFINITION:It is hard to keep your hands off when your man smells like this and i am sure this lovely DIOR will remain a everlasting and continue to entice ladies because it is like a soft-spoken famous artist whom all the ladies in his entourage fall in love with.

TRAITS:My signature is almost hypnotic fragrance.A fragrance of Intense Sensations,Conspicuously Alluring,Mysteriously Attracting with superb finish.It is a perfume intended for those who are addicted to the game of seduction.

BOTTLE:What a marvelous idea to make a Special Party in a bottle!The bottle is as great as the perfume inside is deep,sonorous and and timelessly charming.

ULTIMATUM:recommend for the "grab me and kiss me" kind of attention and also to anyone looking for a great evening wear fragrance that stands out. Anyway i will always have DIOR HOMME INTENSE in my collection.

The final chapter in the Dior Homme fragrance trilogy is also the most audacious: Dior Homme Intense is an intense, sophisticated and sensual Eau de Parfum for the evening. The line's signature iris heart is embellished with subtle musky accents such as hibiscus seed, while Virginia cedar and vetiver form an accord of precious wood that is both masculine and refined.

Yes Endymion, scents like this probably will bring us that thought. But for some gourmand's type of wearers, they unfortunatelly can be attractive. As for me I can say today that I don't like to go around wearing Pi, Rochas Man, Avon Tomorrow Men, Bvlgari Black. Code, Zegna Intenso looks more masculine but still not a big fan. All of them kind of oriental scents. But some of them I like to spray on my wrist to enjoy what comes next or just because the overall feeling, when at home. It's not hard to imagine why Intense could bring the feelling of a feminine perfume. But despise that famous lipstik note, here it looks less feminine than, for example, Pi and Bvlgari Black. More pleasant than Black, and more dark and less vanillic than Pi. To my nose more refined than both. From this family I enjoy more Dior Homme Sport and, just a bit, the Cologne. What I get: the lipstik smell is here, but works surprisingly well in this scent, better than in Cologne. Lasts much less than the one I get in Cologne, maybe overwhelmed by what comes next, the sweetness which is a bit heavy. Here, for some moment I got a smell that made me thinking that the vanillics Pi and Bvlgari Black were coming, but then (and fortunatelly) cacao came to my mind. Remains sweet till the end, somewhat confortable, but more expressive than the others Dior's Homme I know. I´m writting this knowing that is not a scent I see myself wearing around. But who knows. Something here I don't like, but overall I´m thinking about Dior as a house to be looked for.

Even if it's a men's scent it's so sweetly feminine that every woman can easily wear it.

So please, women wear this scent if you like it and you want to wear it! ;)
Don't let others tell you what you should or shouldn't do.

Anyway, everybody's free to wear fragrances s/he wants to! :)

Thanks for clearing that out, guys below.
It does smell like vanilla lipstick!
And that's not a good thing for me...

Please women, do not wear this, its a mens scent. So as much as you like it, dont wear it, thank you.

Finally it happened !
I found a scent which is deliciously gourmand but not in the usual "feminine" sense with tons of sugar.
DHI is this fragrance.
Wonderful composition. I already love the other Dior Homme but here you will have less lavender and less bergamotte but just as much iris and even more vanilla and a slightly smoky hint in the background and a small dose of spiced apple.

I have no doubts that this might be one of the best scents I have smelled so far in my life (that DOES mean something !).

Limited Edition ? Noooooooooooooooooooooo ! Please don´t stop selling it !

Best Christian Dior men's fragrance in the new millennium is undoubtedly Dior Homme Intense. Considering that I have better choices than DHI I know it usually does not go, but I suggest it to my friends.
In total there with his older brother many similarities but also differences, which incidentally makes the same difference that is sweeter than its predecessor. softened and disruption is less exaggerated, but I think they both are consistent and long-term
causes are annoyed.
Is worth buying, but would not use it every day. Let it always smells just be for you.

Feminine, amazing, vibrant, deep, rich, very high quality, but I never wear it. Very strange... The iris note is to die for and vanilla is very light and delicate, but I wore it only a couple of times. Maybe it's one of those scents that are too beautiful and therefore not usable in real life...

wonderful scent for men,the only vanillatype scent for men i like.Much better then that awful JPG le male,guys try out rather this one..

For the first time I tried this fragrance, I smelled a sweety (but not too sweet) scent, which reminds me very much the original scent of the sweet white Tic-Tac candy without mint, or maybe the scent, if you smell into an empty, sweet Tic-Tac box, where you don't smell the mint, but the sweety scent. This fragrance remainded my friend also the sweety Tic-Tac candy scent all the day long.
Outdoors (it was -10 C degree in snowy weather) it projected a stronger smell for my nose, but still full of pleasure. My friend was not able to stand to say like: As the soft wind brings this fragrane to my nose, I just imagine to be in a perfect world and it smells awsome. Indoors it gets softer and a pleasure to smell it.
It is definitely a quality perfume and I totally agree with K1 by saying: "it seems that no one hasn't encourage to ask "excuse me, what perfume is it?" I mean it has a kind of privacy!"
It's a must to try this scent! One fo the best, if not the best winter scent on the market.

oh oh this is really great and particularly elegant frag , i have tried many in such category of elegance frags bu i think this is stand high among many it starts really relly elegantly spice cause of IRIS plant i could simulate its strong start with the ror of the lion but afterthat the very elegant indeeeeed vanilla starts to prevail and u will smell elegantly smell like fine fresh made cookies . really smell delicious for the opposite sex but if u wanna be soo sexy and being hunted down by those voluptous chicks wear simply la nuit de l homme eau de toillette>>>>>by ysl

I want this stuff on my husband, it is truly gorgeous!! So sexy and voluptuous I feel that I could almost wear it myself...

Dior Homme Intense is my number one scent for a special night out. It was love at first snif, the first notes seemed too strong but in a matter of seconds it was the best male perfume I have ever tested.
I can compare it to a dark chocolate sundae with vanilla (something really good for me) but somehow theres a different note (iris perhaps) than takes all that sweetness away and makes a perfect blend of aromas. Lipstick? I dont get it and if theres some lipstick, for sure it must be a very expensive and classy one (lol).
Dior Homme Intense will stay with me for many years to come.
The only problem, longevity, it doesnt last long on my skin, but I love re applying it when I need to.

The best perfume made by human bean.
It’s the standard by which all other perfumes must be compared.
Suitable for evening wear, dates, and to make nice impression on opposite sex.


Selage: 10/10
Longevity: 10/10
Unique and sexy: 10/10

Overall: 10/10

I dont like sweet fragrances but this one is an exception.... I enjoyed every spray in this bottle...wow beautiful long lasting fragrance.
Dior makes no mistakes

This is probably the most elegant scent I own. It is so smooth! The drydown is a milk chocolate with a hint of lipstick. So much better than the original "non-intense" formula.

10/10

Makes me king!
This stuff definitely is something that supports luxurious Dior designs; something that you cannot recognize it either absolutely masculine or feminine; it can be worn as unisex.
This item appears in a highly intense waxy way with paramount vanilla and mummy smoky scent which you can't get rid of easily, even maybe after shower appear again. It's rough, extremely heavy, high level and dark. I suggest that before you'd better to try Givenchy Pi or some other heavy stuff. It may overpower you if you used to wear normal everyday soft perfumes! Not something on every taste, most people cannot come along. It gives me a mythic power! I feel I'm made by ebony and iron! It makes me crazy when people just sniff my sillage while walking! They just snifff fff fff and I can hear the air circulate in their nostrils!
It has a cosmetic scent presenting all the time, specially lipstick. This mummy odor makes it autumnal and winery scent, I think it's so bothersome when you wear it in hot days. It's too serious, not for everyday and officials, only ceremonials and chic night casual dresses.
It's luxury, bizarre, modern, elegant, super erotic, overwhelming, exaggerated, magnificent, unique and rare.

longevity 10/10
sillage 10/10
scent 10/10!

I want more EdPs for men! Eau de Parfums and Parfums for men really are the way to go. I think the major houses are cottoning on slowly, with Dior, Guerlain, YSL and Hermes all doing EdPs of their biggest sellers now.

I thought the original Dior Homme was nice enough, but I was soon bored by its water-colours and pastel shades. It was an imitation Egoiste, but not done with gusto like that beauty.

Dior Homme Intense however, is the real deal. Deep, rich and meaningful!

This is basically what I'm getting from DHI. Opens with lashings of high quality lipstick in the back of a dark old wardrobe. This is the powdery quality of the iris. This fades to reveal a baked apple dessert. It's still in the oven when you put DHI on, but slowly the fruit stews and the top browns. The sweetness becomes more intense. I would say this is the vanilla, amber and patchouli coming through.

Finally, the dessert is done. I feel silly telling you that I like Homme Intense best at its drydown, but being an EdP, that sweet and sexy note lasts all day!

This is a wonderful scent..got me a sample of edp..Very soft and elegant and luxury smell..lil sweet and i can smell the vanilla right away. This is the same field as la nuit de l'homme, opium and la male type..great for a night out..i think this for mature crowd.just by smelling it..ages around 30 and up is perfect..but i like it anyways.. im only 24 and i love this scent as soon as i spray it on my skin...projection is really really good..and longevity 10 hours or more... great for night out or special occasion and for winter..ladies will love this.. brought the sample to work and spray on my neck and the whole restaurant fill with dior intense..chick will dig this to their nose....it just a sexy scent...

i will buy a bigger bottle..

Dior should be proud that thier name is written on the bottle of this masterpiece even though its actually thiers !!!!

words cant describe the magic of this scent. just go try it and witness for yourself.
( read my 2 reviews down fro how i really feel and think of the fragrance)

i just got it and WOW, amazing, at first i sprayed it and couldnt figure it out, dior homme intense is one of the best if not the best! amazing purchase... you can really detect the amber in this one...while wearing this fragrance you cant say its a cologne,this is simply a nice fragrance, cologne is in another category...2-3 sprays and your good to go!

i love this one, great smell, great longetivity.
the only weird part about this that although i thought everyone in the world will like this but some people i know cannot stand it and it makes them dizzy.......also in a way it is little feminine.
Still i love it a masterpiece and geat work from DIOR...

The ad describes it as to be an elegant and sensual scent made up of mainly Iris, Ambrette and Cedarwood.

Basically Iris is supposed to induce gentleness in smell and a kind of sobriety and maturity in style. On the other hand, Ambrette and Cedarwood are responsible for making a scent sweet, warm and sensual. Accordingly I assume the designers wanted to add maturity of Iris to sensuality of the Ambrette and Cedarwood.

Considering the above target, I should say they succeeded! However, this success achieved when their product is compared with average designer fragrances. I mean with this one you get a nice and sensual scent with a polished and mature style; but don't expect a great scent!

It gets 6 out of 10 IMHO.

Masterpiece from Dior. Very warm and sensual smell. Lasts very long on my skin. Similar to the original but warmer and longer lasting. I think it might become my signature scent this winter.

Dior Homme Intense has a similar opening to it's predecessor.
The faint and controversial "lipstick" note still hangs in there from the beginning, but have become smoother and softer, a bit more rounded.
Not as sharp and striking as in the original Dior Homme blend.
There really is something special about it.
All the notes blend incredibly well together.
Once it is sprayed on the skin it opens up, and each and every single note in the composition is revealing in turn, in perfect order and harmony with each other.
Like A true olfactory symphony.
It delivers that kind of comforting warmth that only a "warm" fragrance like Intense can create.
Really lovely.
The sensation that grabs you while wearing it could be described as if you are being enveloped by a thick, warm blanket in a cold winternight.
Or perhaps finding yourself in the comforting embrace of a sorely missed loved one.
Since this is an eau de parfum, it will stay quite close to the skin.
But this little gem is not your ordinary eau de parfum.
You will most certainly, if not smell it on your own, at least know it's there throughout.
The silliage is actually quite good for an eau de parfum.
It radiates mildly around you.
Of course, it's when you get up close that you really "get" it.
Lasts for hours as well.
When compared to the original Dior Homme, this one is drier and more creamy at the same time.
The woods and florals gives off a dry, fizzy, almost crisp quality.
But the vanilla and amber combo glides on top of it, smoothering the composition out to a creamy, delightful, and highly sensual fragrant experience.
The bottle design is simply stunning.
The amber color of the liquid is truly fitting the fragrance.
The black pipe inside the bottle is also very artistic and creatively done.
Can be worn by about any age and gender for that matter.
Probably most suitable when worn by a "mature" grown up person though.
I know a lot of people find Hypnotic Poison to smell like rootbeer and I agree, but this one actually reminds me even more of it.
This is Hypnotic Poison for men!
One word: Unique.
Has the potential to become one of Dior's ultimate classics in the future.
Should never have to be discontinued.
Highly recommended.

words are not enough.i dont know what ihave to say.this jewel must be the scent of god. its fragragrance embrace you.there is only one thing remains.you have to bow in front of pure beauty

wot shud i say bout INTENSE....dior has given me wot i wos lukin for since my birth!!!!!

9/10

Another Dior´s masterpiece.
I love this stuff!!I bought it last week and I recommend this EDP 100%! Ideal for semi-formal-formal situations with suitable clothing, of course!The projection & longevity are amazing. 10/10 for me

Intense is amber drummer, without a concurrent on a sight. Landlord of vanilla empire, with blazing crown. Poltergeist of enchanted forest who browses your mind and seeds craving.

Dior Homme is a lion. The royal highness.
Dior Homme Intense is a panther. The mind eclipse.

on paper this perfume smells a bit like armani diamonds for men but it is a bit more creamy and sexy smell.

dark , deep , mysterious , intense , gorgoeus , sensual , sexy and its alluring :)

I could wear my sample today and I can say that, in this case, the scent is loyal to its name. It is not another kind of "intense" versions that has not to do with the original versions.

This one is completely similar to the original one (EDT), however, more creamy, more gourmand. Yet, it doesn't has that "make up" note.

Dior Homme Intense starts well done, well evolved, since it is applied.

Lasts for more than 10 hours!

It’s hard to have a comment on the best of Dior’s.

Very high longevity, very warm, very sweet like whole beehive!
Extremely kind and peaceful scent.
I like to be nice, but not THIS much!!!

p.s. Please get off my skin. It’s about 24hours till now! I have to wear another cologne for somewhere else!

واقعاً نظر دادن در مورد بهترین عطر کریستین دیور سخته
دوام و پخش بوی خیلی زیاد .. خیلی
وقتی این عطر رو میزنی انگار یه کندوی عسل جنگلی میشی
خیلی گرم و شیرینه
یک شمیم دوست داشتنی و صمیمی و صلح طلبانه و با کلاس
اینقدر روی پوستت می مونه تا برات غیر قابل تحمل بشه
برای من که 24 ساعت بعدهم هنوز مونده بود
اینقدر دوام بالا برای من اصلاً مطلوب نبود و به همین خاطر بخشیدمش به پدرم
خوش به حالش

i like it and my love really like it

so amaizing

I'll buy it soon. Its an amazing fragance ...just like Dior homme

OMG ! i went to sleep after i wrote my review yesterday on this perfume (read directly below this one ) and i woke up an hour ago and here i am still sniffing the extremely long lasting well done dior perfume !!! really thelongetivity is amazing to extremes , the smeel is gorgeous , sexy and very seducing . and DO NOT get me started on the sensuality this perfume has !!!! MUST BUY NOW ! very very very magnificently done !

this is very sensual and sexy seductive !! its definetly cocoa and vanilla , a little old homme in there but creamy and diferrent in a good way .excellent for nightime and intimate wear . theres this smoke type called "shisha" or hubbly bubbly and when the amazingly smelled smoke sticks on you with this perfume make a OMG IM GOING CRAZY SMELL !!!!!! this perfume is a winner , its a master piece , its a DIOR !!!

One of the best of Dior.
Has some similarities with the original but not the edp of it, just a different scent. Main player is vanilla here, while the original is more woody, powdery and leathery.
Only the top notes(lipstick) r a little similar to the original. Then goes into a warm, powdery, woody, sweety vanillic almost gourmandish phase. Very delicious, sexy and sensual.
A must have.
Strong projection and long lasting.

I have received my sample of Dior Homme Intense, I am really suprised as this smells differently to Dior Homme.I thought it would smell the same but a stronger version. It hasn't that lipstick feel to it and smells more creamy,cacoa base to me. It definately smells sweeter than the original Dior Homme on me. I would definately buy this.

a deep sensual but light very nice

by the way
it's really amazing on me
very sweet and warm
very good for night
specially the cold night
and very long lasting on my clothes,
i can smell it on my shirt for days.

but it's not lasting on my skin..!!!!
any advice for that, PLZ

im not sure about the fragrantica information
specially after i see the notes of this perfume..
any one can see the dior web site
and u will see that the notes here is 100% wrong

This smell is very creamy(cacao),
yes long lasting on my skin butt it is not great scent...

This cologne is so much better than Dior Homme , it looks like the original Dior Homme in the beginnig but when the times goes by, it smells a little more sweeter and creamy , it's very good

A VERY DIOR artwork! Just one great scent, indeed!

So classy, long lasting and wonderful. On my skin, it smells creamy vanilla with a touch of iris and just a lil bit of vetiver.

At first, it is so close to Dior Homme, but as it dries down, the vanilla note resembles something like Pour Un Homme de Caron?! :-) However, it is in a pretty much better and more modern way than that. All the way long, the sweetness of amber is prominently present within the notes, while cedar maintains the powdery aspect. At the beginning, it is more aromatic than original DH, but later, it is more spicy and less aromatic.

Great for classic fans, but not recommended for casual and teen choices, at all. Suitable for cold nights, but can be worn in the mild heat as well.

the best dior fragrance for man!!! love it!!!

an stronger vanillic-creamy base than the original, not better but a little diferent.

the first D. H is a hit..simply

fiùùùùù....2,5 years to get it. i love it deep, intense, warm and very long lasting. wonderful

ps: i have 100 ml bottle, it's not only available 50 ml now in 2008

I picked up a bottle of this on 57th St. after playing soccer in central park last weekend. I was bringing a first date to a charity ball and wanted to smell liker money. This was certainly a good choice and the date was a success. I've put it into heavy rotation!

It's one of the best from Dior! :D I love it... and soon i'm gona have it! It's a stronger version of the dior homme and i know it's a night fragrance, but i have 2 say that u can wear it on day 2, but only on special occasions! It's amazing... very sexy and gives an air of good wealth. Just perfect!

It smells a bit like Dior Homme but this one is nicer, warmer and more attractive. Dior Homme Intense hasn’t got the same lipstick feeling as the original and it feels more masculine. It has a distinctive vanilla/lavender touch which I like.

Does anybody knows more details about this fragrance? Is it warm like Fahrenheit?
