Chergui
I find DHI easier to wear than Chergui. Both are excellent, but I'd go with the one I'd wear more often. The real question is, which would YOU wear more often? If you don't know, then you need to sample both. Spend a few bucks on samples. You'll be glad you did.
Whoa. There's a Toucan Sam here? Dude! I've been quoting you for ages! See my signature![]()

Both are great. Chergui is more unique, more complex, more untamed and with rougher edges. DHI is smoother, softer, rounder, warmer and probably more wearable. A tie really, but at gunpoint I'd choose - Chergui.
I did choose and my choice is Chergui
This is no joke. A couple years ago I ordered a 5ml decant off some guy from eBay. It was hands down the most powerful, thick, rich, amazing, long lasting, projecting thing I have ever smelled. With the cap on my decant sprayer, I could still smell it from about 5 feet away, even though it hadn't been sprayed for over a week. It haunted me for days because I could not figure out what the hell I was smelling that was so delicious.
Fast forward to today and it still smells good but it's almost like an EDT version compared to the older stuff being EDP. I ordered from a legit site but maybe I will get it directly from SL next time around..
With all that said I would still pick the new Chergui over any DHI.
1) Chergui (Serge Lutens)
2) Dior Homme Intense
3) Aventus (Creed)
4) Allure Homme Sport (Chanel)
5) La Nuit De l'Homme (YSL)
...Dior Homme is for tenors; Chergui is for baritones...!
I have both and prefer Chergui.
If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch
DHI for me.

1) Polo Crest

Chergui
Chergui is just boring IMHO
Dior Homme Intense
I have decants of DHI & Chergui and, while I enjoy them both very much, if I were to go fb on one of them it would be....Chergui.

I would recommend both. Love them all but in terms quality, longevity and projection I will pick Chergui
Dhi by far.
DHI for me
1. Chergui
2. Dior Homme
3. Dior Homme Intense
I wear DH most often of the 3, and Chergui is for a little more special occasions. I don't wear DHI very much, but I like it enough to keep.
