Dior Homme Intense is good for the evenings and going out as it has that smooth sexy vibe. L'Instant Extreme is better for the day as it lasts twelve hours or so . Both are excellent though the vintage DHI is the best though the reformulated one is good if you have not tried the vintage. ( Its not worth getting the extreme and the EDT L'Instant. Extreme is the way to go).

Best too try them in a store again if you are unsure as you are the one that has to happy with the fragrance.

Can't miss with either IMO. Both worthy scents.

Love both but would go with DHI.

I simply don't care for Dior Homme Intense. It's not even in the same race with L'Instant De Guerlain Extreme.

I actually prefer the EDTs of each.
post #8 of 52
get DHI ot LInstant EDT not extreme. The Extreme version has less projection that the regular version.
Or get Midnight in Paris if you want DHI without the makeup note.

Both great scents, but I prefer DHI.

Your username would be a great option as well!

L'Instant regular is > Dior Homme so I assume the same would be true for the extreme versions.

I'm a DJ. I'm in a club 2-3 times a week. I am a club fragrance addict. I have them all. Dior Homme Intense is BY FAR, THE BEST and MY MOST complimented club fragrance. I don't merely get regular compliments everytime I wear this out, I get INTENSE compliments everytime i wear this out (no pun). People not only tell me I smell good, but they tell me they want to eat me cause I smell heavenly. I am not exaggerating. You simply cannot lose with DHI if you're looking for a night out fragrance.

As far as L'instant Guerlain Extreme goes...I'm probably about to put it up for sale. It stinks to me. I don't get the hype at all. I've forced myself to wear this stuff so I can "get it" but no. There's always other bottles in my collection I'd rather wear and smell like.

I love them both. DHI for special occasion, Guerlain for going out
post #13 of 52
This thread must be an early April fools joke because there are about 927 other threads of the EXACT topic.
post #14 of 52
Dior Homme Intense then L'instant Extreme then l'instant in order of which is nicest to wear. They are also in order of which is least suitable to wear daily.. with L'instant being light and fresh enough to be an everyday work horse. DHI is far too rich and one would easily get tired of it.

But MIP has no cocoa/chocolate notes , right ?
post #17 of 52
Btw OP , get the DHI !! it's a lot better than L'instant extreme in every department IMO. Even the reformulated version.
post #18 of 52
Go with something else.. you seem unsure about wanting to own either one of them.
post #19 of 52
I have both. They're very different.

The Guerlain is very complex, smooth, citric, mildly herbal and green with a rich vanilla base. It does not last long on me.

The Dior is bright, sweet and potent with a powdery quality in the drydown that last ages.
post #20 of 52
Dior Homme Intense is better than L'Instant. Sexier too. L'Instant is more "formal" imo, while Dior Homme Intense is the ultimate metrosexual, going out, kinda sophisticated scent. Both are 10 out of 10 fragrances though. But go for the Dior.

These DHI vs. LIDGE threads just will not stop, will they? Also, that was quite a run on sentence by the OP. Periods are your friend.

Did you really have to comment about his grammar? It's clear that he's not a native speaker

Hey friend, just get yourself a nice 100 ml bottle of DHI .

There's no way i could recommend you buying L'instant extreme for nights out, since its projection is horrible.

As far as smell, DHI is the winner here , in my humble opinion ...

Good luck

Be sure and PM me with your dirt cheap price. I might take it off your hands.
post #28 of 52
Both are equally great IMO. I blind bought both and have no regrets.
post #29 of 52
I see Midnight in Paris mentioned here alot, I have it and I definitely get the same vibe at DHI. I am trying to sell my MiP though because the tea/powder just doesnt work for me.

Wish StrawberryNet would get LIDGE in so I could participate more in these VS threads. :P
post #30 of 52
Midnight in Paris does smell similar to Bvlgari Black and all, but it smells just like Armani Code to me. Actually, it smells like how Armani Code should have smelled. It's a very nice one to have in the collection and the bottle is frak'n sweet!
post #31 of 52
DHI or LIDGE

I doubt it man , the main reason I love my DH & DHI is the cocoa and iris while I hate rubbery notes which MIP has apparently , they make me sick

I don't notice a rubbery note in MiP. I think it's more like Armani Code than Bvlgari Black.

Must give it a try just for that bottle

It's very nice and super cheap now. The bottle itself is a work of art.

Could it be the tea note? I've no idea but yea it does smell a little like Armani Code too. Though I would still prefer DHI over them HAHAHAH! Damn I'm being bias

just get DHI and i love it ,for sure one of the best designer fragrances ever.

It would be like picking a favourite out of your girlfriend's breasts. Both are top notch.
post #43 of 52
I just got a bottle of L'Instant De Guerlain Extreme and it is pretty fantastic. Whereas the EDT version starts off citrusy and ends up smelling like cocoa, the Extreme version kicks things off with the cocoa. The EDT and EDP smell like two different scents for the first hour or so. Within 2 hours they smell very similar if not identical. The Extreme version has a much stronger cocoa than EDT though. I can't vouch for longevity just yet, but so far I prefer the Extreme version.

I still have not tried DHI, just regular DH. I'd like to try DHI and see what all the fuss is about.

Hahahahaha!!! LMAO just read this thread and that was a great analogy.

I guess DH/I and LIDG/E are all on the same level as far as marketing for these companies goes. Bit like TdH.

Despite LIDGE being a bit of a patchouli bomb, it's miles ahead of DHI.

The only comment I've ever had when wearing LIDGE, from a male friend at a bar: "Someone smells like patchouli, is that you?"

I thought this would be a compliment-getter, so far I'm a bit disappointed.

Lol, I like my girlfriend's right boob best, and the same can be said for DHI :-)
post #49 of 52
DHI is amazing! I have been converted. I used to think LIDG EDT > LIDGE and both being than DH. So I naturally assumed they would be better than DHI. Wrong. I think DHI is best of the four.

Which one did you get? I tried the newest reformulation and I was very disappointed in the drydown compared to the original formulation. I really like the original formulation but I am not willing to pay as much as what is being charged on the grey market. I currently on LIDGE and even though it does wear really close to the skin after the first few hours I really like the scent and is definitely worth a full bottle.
post #51 of 52
Both.
But I lean towards L
post #52 of 52
All three are great, but I would vote for DHI.
