Myer would probably stock the new formulation, as would most if not all of these online stores.

Dior Homme Intense would have the black/dark lid whilst Dior Homme would have the clear lid.

They are probably the Dior Homme Intense new formulation by now.

Not sure but to avoid disappointment just assume it's the new version of DHI (which is awesome IMO).

I think it is safe to say that they are the new formulation of Dior Homme Intense. That is not a bad thing though, I have the original and the re-formulated. They are very, very close and great smelling.

To somebody without a keen sense of smell would I even be able to tell any difference between all 4?

Also are those sites in the link reputable?

Probably not.

I think DH reform and DHI original are sweeter than their counterparts.
I prefer DH original and DHI reform as a result.

As to which one Myer stocks, they only sell Dior Homme and Dior Homme Sport (new formulations - at least in Sydney). Dior Homme Intense is not sold in department stores over the counter anywhere in Sydney. You can either order it on-line from the likes of Strawberrynet in HK, or go straight to a Dior boutique and ask them.

To be honset none of the SA's in Sydney's Myer store are that knowledgable. One tried to tell me just the other day that Mugler's Pure Shot was a brand new release. I didn't have the heart (or energy) to set her straight!

Sorry, in fairness to certain staff at Myer's in Sydney, I should qualify my last statement. The SA's in Mecca Cosmetica (located in the Myer store) that sell the niche products like Luten's and the like are usually spot on with their product knowledge.

I'll add in my support of the reformulation of DHI as well. It's perfection to me, and although I haven't smelt the original formulation, I suspect that there isn't enough difference to pay 2 times the RRP for the old stuff. I got my bottle for around $110 for 150mL from strawberrynet, and they're reputable.

(Strawberrynet are also offering unboxed Bleu de Chanel and Chanel Allure Homme for dirt cheap now for anyone interested)

I've never seen DHI for sale over the counter in Australia either, so online is the way to go. Pretty much anywhere will have the reformulation unless otherwise stated (and probably asking a pretty penny for vintage, which isn't different enough from the reformulation to worry about).

Having said that, I still check out every perfume shop just in case they have an old dusty bottle of DHI for a ridiculously cheap price - dream on

DHI Reformulation is pretty darn close to the vintage, it's just a bit sweeter especially when you get to the mid notes. Whatever version they have, I'm sure you will be extremely happy with..
