One of our French newspapers here in Montreal publishes a weekly perfume critique in its Tuesday edition. This week's featured Dior Homme, available in Canada exclusively at La Baie as of October 1 (the official launch however is September 17).
Mario Girard, author of this column, writes (and this is my translation): Its initial notes are reminiscent of the odour of the many saw mills along the Saint-Maurice River. The smell of wet wood, however, is quickly complemented by amber and leather notes. The powdery side of iris imparts a lot of class to this irreproachably crafted perfume. For those who wear impeccably ironed striped shirts.
Mr. Girard gives Dior Homme 4 stars (=outstanding) out of a possible 5 (=masterpiece). There are also five other critiqued fragrances that merit 4 stars: Mugler's Alien, Burberry Brit Gold, Armani's Bois d'encens, Prada's Eau intense and finally Myqueen by Alexander McQueen.
Incidentally, he gives the new Cèdre by Lutens a meager 2 stars along with Polo Black, London for Men and Promesse by Cacharel.
