Your Dior Top 5 Male frags ( Homme/Intense not an option) ?

I wonder what your personal Top 5 frags from Dior are ?

I detest but acknowledge the niche quality of Homme and Homme Intense, but sorry guys - these two are not an option in this Dior Top 5 list

My Dior Top 5 Male frags:

1. Fahrenheit, the original is better, but the new stuff is also FREAKIN' FANTASTIC
2. Fahrenheit Absolute, oud added, petrol/rubber docked - just an awesome flanker
3. Granville - got a tester of this, and WOW, just WoW !
4. Eau Sauvage Extreme - love this new frag, love it
5. Homme Sport - probably the best Sport frag ever made IMHO

Worthy of mention:
Eau Sauvage, Classic old Mans citrus. Low prijection and longevity though.

Jules is the only male frag that i'm aware of that is worthy of mention.

They make some decent female perfumes though.

I just got a 25 ml split for 35 bucks! 50 ml for 68. That's not too bad of a deal IMO

I'm on my second bottle of Granville. Also bought Vetiver. May buy Leather Oud. Interested to see what Eau Sauvage Parfum turns out like. Would buy vintage Eau Sauvage (or Diorella) if they were in front of me - I think current Eau Sauvage has been hobbled by IFRA. I bought a bottle of Dior Homme when it came out - nice iris but seldom wear it - and I quite like the Dior Cologne that came out around the same time.

Personally I think top 5 men's frags from Dior without any of the "Homme" range is stretching things a little. I will mention Fahrenheit and Eau savage.

Vintage Fahrenheit and Eau Sauvage are the standouts, with an honorable mention to Leather Oud.

I think this house has to release something really special in the male line next to retain some dignity after the utter rubbish that is Dior Homme and the obvious viral marketing that it desperately needed to get sales.

A worldwide re-launch of Jules would go a long way!

Jules would become the biggest perfume flop of the year if they re-launched that one WW.

Maybe the launch of Jules Sport would be a better option currently.

...or Jules Intense along with a ton of dubious youtube vids.

You guys may be correct though, perhaps Jules wouldn't be appreciated by todays crowd
