Dior Homme (2005)
by Christian Dior

I really tried to like this, but the heavy leather on the base mixed with the floral notes, creates an offensive chemical-like smell. I also do not find this scent very unique... I will try again sometime later this year, but I just don't know...

The only reason i don't own this/wear it regularly is because while i love the scent, i have yet to find anyone who likes this. i've asked many of my friends/family/girlfriend and not one has been into it. Projection could be better but the longevity is quite long lasting. it's simple, elegant, and can be dressed up or down.

so i went to sephora with my gf a couple weeks back to do some christmas shopping and went straight to the mens fragrance area because there is really nothing else for a guy to do in there aside from expanding his cologne horizon..

anyway..i noticed they had dior homme with the silver tube for sampling and sprayed it on the paper and eventually the back of my hand. at first i didn't like it because it had a black licorice/anise kind of smell that everyone considers to be the "lip stick" smell. after about 10-15 minutes the lipstick smell (which on my skin was kind of cloying) went away and the real fragrance came alive which smelled really nice and good for an everyday kind of smell. I eventually told my gf to get it for me for christmas or that I would get it.

well, christmas came around and she got me dior homme...only thing was that the boxes they had for sale there weren't the silver tubed dior homme. they were the black tube (remake). i told her that it's a different fragrance than the one i got a sample of from sephora but sprayed it on to try it out and honestly....I LOVE IT. i think its way better than the OG Dior Homme(at least on my skin). It doesn't have that cloying lipstick/black licorice smell that annoyed me for the first 10 minutes. however, the scent is also a lot lighter and and doesn't last as long on my skin as it's predecessor. it smells as if they added different notes to it like maybe a very subtle vanilla or something.

i'd recommend trying both out because I'm more than satisfied with the remake.

scent 9/10
longevity 7/10
projection 6/10

For me this is the best. Would maybe come over a little strange on a macho man but this beautiful fragrance keeps me floating as long as I can smell it, which is a long time, especially on clothes.

Is this perfume feminine? Does it smell of lipstick? Maybe. But I tell you something. The smell is perfect. I do not care if it is unisex, female or whatever. It is unique, classy, elegant, sophisticated.... A masterpiece of modern perfumery.

Dior Homme is "Paris in a bottle"


Scent: 5/5
Projection: 3/5
Longevity: 3/5

I'm talking about the bottle with the silver tube.

I find this one far too feminine, very powdery, smells a bit like talcum powder, would be a good seller if it were a fragrance for women perhaps..
