“Iris put on leather and went out after midnight — sophisticated, dark, unforgettable.”

Dior Homme Parfum
iris
woody
powdery

The Parfum concentration in Dior Homme's iris-leather line — François Demachy's 2014 launch, the densest member of the Dior Homme family. Tuscan iris at the top, a leather-rose heart, settling on a sandalwood drydown. Wears strongest in fall and winter, evening.

The take

What works

  • ●Leather-iris-incense combination is deeply compelling and distinctive
  • ●Parfum concentration finally gives Dior Homme the longevity it deserved
  • ●The apex of the Dior Homme line — takes the DNA somewhere genuinely dark

Trade-offs

  • ●Strictly cold weather and evening — no versatility whatsoever
  • ●Projection is skin-close despite the parfum concentration
