“The iris classic in a clearer wrapper — same powdery suit, new label.”
The 2021 reformulation that returned Dior Homme to its original iris-cardamom-vetiver structure — François Demachy's launch, a clean three-note simplification. Tuscan iris at the top, a Guatemalan cardamom heart, settling on a vetiver drydown. Versatile across seasons, balanced day-to-night.
The take
