Dior
Homme EDT
“Powdery iris in a grey suit — the most quietly elegant Dior masculine.”
The 2011 reformulation of Dior Homme — François Demachy's iris-powdery launch, the reference iris-with-cacao composition nicknamed the lipstick fragrance. Lavender at the top, an iris-cacao heart, settling on a leather drydown. Fall and winter, balanced day-to-night.
The take
What works
- ●Iris-powder construction is still one of the most distinctive masculine bases in designer fragrance
- ●Bridges feminine florals and masculine structure without compromise
- ●Office-safe sillage that never intrudes
Trade-offs
- ●Longevity is disappointingly short for an iris EDP of this pedigree
- ●2020 reformulation weakened the iris significantly
