![]() ![]() A couple hours past, I am left with a fantastic vanilla and iris dry down. It sort of becomes a turn off for a good hour through the middle. It then gets smokey, very, very smokey, so smokey that it started to smell like grilled barbecued meats (if you know the infamous bbq meat smell from Voyage d'Hermes, and Sel Marin - also the cocoa fragrance from Slumberhouse - not sure the name). The only other fragrance I own that reminds me of the same rose note, is Calligraphy Rose, with a rose/saffron combo, that's what it smells like. A noticeable rose note creeps in, but it's not that nice jammy rose I'm used to, it's more of a old school rose, feminine smelling rose. The middle is where it starts to get weird. I think because I am so used to DHI, I wanna say it smells like cocoa, but it really doesn't, at all. It's more of a Rochas Man sweetness, like a vanilla/tonka combination. DIOR HOMME PARFUM FULLIt's like a full bodied Dior Homme, with a sweetness that I get from DHI, but I don't really get any cocoa here. This should really be called Dior Homme Intense, because it doesn't have much DHI in it, it's more of an intense version of DH. This takes the exotic part of DHI, and the practicality of DH, mixes them together, adds more depth, more unique, and definitely more intense. ![]() DIOR HOMME PARFUM PLUSQuite happy, as I see it now going for 400 plus bucks on the net.I can't really make out the status of DHP, discontinued,75ml limited to Europe I don't know.Įasily the most interesting of the Dior Homme men's line, but definitely not the best. I did managed to get me that long postponed bottle in the end. Don't get me wrong, the base is still heavy on "amberwoods" and not nearly as striking as the first third of the wear but I enjoy it and I guess I don't smell as "old man" as usual (not that I care). I was lamenting when giving my impressions on Zegna Iris Florentine earlier this year that I hadn't encountered a masculine Iris centric fragrance that had the 70s 80s vintage treatment.ĭHP is not it sadly, but by toning down the sweetness of DHI, upping the rose a bit (almost if not a la Egoiste) and adding a good amount of an almost IsoQuinolic leather we somewhat get in the vicinity. Then it was discontinued, then covid and next thing you know I couldn't find it anywhere and I felt as I did when Sycomore edt went, regretful. I'd get to wear it every few months passing through a department store or an airport. Santa Maria Novella – Tabacco Toscanoīergamot, Tuscan Tobacco Leaves, Leather, Amber, Birch Wood, Cedar Wood, Guaiacum, Sandalwood, Musk, and Vanilla.Dior Homme Parfum is one of the designer releases of the last few years that I really loved from first wear and came really close to purchasing, but always postponed doing so to a later date thinking it'd be there whenever I'd be ready.
