Dior
Homme 2020
“Cedar and white musk on Iso E — the office Dior, lightened past the point of personality.”
The 2020 reformulation of Dior Homme — François Demachy's fresher, woodier take on the line, swapping the original's powdery-iris character for a clean cedar-vetiver structure. Bergamot at the top, an atlas cedar heart, settling on a vetiver-musk drydown. Versatile spring through fall, daytime-leaning.
The take
What works
- ●Pepper-cedar-iris combo with the polish you'd expect from Dior
- ●Genuinely versatile — meeting room to dinner without modification
- ●Long-lasting in a category where most designers cut corners
Trade-offs
- ●Lost the iris signature that defined the original — fans noticed immediately
- ●Heavy Iso E Super means many noses go anosmic to it after an hour
