Dior Homme 2020

“Cedar and white musk on Iso E — the office Dior, lightened past the point of personality.”

woody
musky
aromatic

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.
