I sneak through the aisles, trying to avoid the cameras. In my black suit, I become one with the shadows. I realize that I am getting closer to my goal. I am trying to unveil the great secret. I have arrived. In front of the master's office. I slip through the door. Confused, I look around. Bowls full of vanilla, everywhere?! What has happened here? That's exactly what you think at first. The opening of this fragrance is intense. The top note reveals powdery vanilla. Then the fragrance unfolds and transitions into its heart note. Iris and hibiscus seeds. The final accords are joyfully awaited in the base after 11 hours: cedar, vetiver, and amber form a wonderful woody accord. Throughout, the fragrance is carried by the beautiful iris. After my mission, I now bring you the details:

2. Fragrance: A scent that reminds me of how vanilla pudding is properly cooked. Dior Homme Intense from 2007 is a fantastic but also heavy fragrance. Thanks to its strong vanilla note, it is perfect for a date or a theater visit in autumn or winter. With this fragrance, you wear something fine, and accordingly, the clothing should match. Personally, I am captivated by the sweet powder. All components fit and blend seamlessly. I smell nothing synthetic or inappropriate. Heavy and dark is the story that Dior has written here. A work of art for the adult man. 100%

3. Sillage: When I wore the fragrance, it revealed its effect late. After a good 8 hours, someone noticed a pleasant scent on me and immediately wanted to know the secret. I was told I smelled of vanilla and wood. This fragrance is very heavy, and I wouldn't recommend it to a delicate personality. The right dosage is exactly 4 sprays on the neck and the inner elbows (for long sleeves: wrists). This fragrance is not subtle, but it is also not a bodyguard. I was perceived from 2 meters away. 90%

4. Longevity: 11 hours can feel long. The more beautiful it is when you have a pleasantly scented companion. 100%

5. Bottle: The heavy and dark rectangular glass reveals something about the contents. The fragrance is also heavy and dark. The clear lines of the bottle match my taste. The spray head allows for precise dosing. Much glass and darkness awaken in me an irresistible urge to test the contents. 100%

6. Price: Starting at €65 (50ml), the fragrance can be found in perfumeries. For this price, I gladly unveil a secret and open the treasure chest. The contents are so wonderful that you can't help but say yes. I am not just paying for the name but also for a brilliant fragrance. 80%

7. Conclusion: This fragrance is not for the faint-hearted. Anyone wearing Dior Homme Intense (2007) must be grown-up and prepared for what unfolds there. This fragrance is suitable for an unforgettable date or a fantastical theater evening with Faust and co. during autumn or winter. I am thrilled by the heaviness, sweetness, delicacy, the vanilla, and the woody accords. 100%

8. Rating: very good

The fragrance has been discontinued, that's not fair! Now, after this comment, I would really love to smell it!

I can twist and turn it any way I want, but somehow DHI remains my absolute favorite scent despite some high-end fragrances in my collection :-)
