Dior Homme Intense Dior 2011

Powdery scents are not really my thing, but as a highly praised fragrance at an affordable price, I just wanted to give it a try 1-2 years ago, so here's my impression:

The scent smells very pleasant, cozy, but also grown-up due to this woody sweetness. I think the grown-up aspect also comes from this powdery rounding, which also gives the fragrance a certain upscale character. It is in no way intrusive, but rather smartly dressed, distinguished and knows where it stands.

Even as a powdery fragrance, it is now an integral part of my collection. Since I've heard that the perfume is supposed to be a bit better/different, perhaps the Intense will be replaced, but I'll just have to see.
