Simply one of the best of all time
The pre 2025 formulation. Simply one of the very best, even compared to much more expansive niche.
Sophisticated, complex yet simple, addicting, intoxicating, yet very explicit in its subtelty. Smells high quality and luxorious, especialy for its price. Maybe one of the best deals in the world of perfumery. You get a straight up masterpiece for the money of a mere designer.
How lucky I feel having gotten one of the last pre 2025 bottles as I believe they reformulated it a little bit, making it just a bit less complex, dumped it down a tiny notch just enough for it to lose its whispering treasure. What a horrible crime.
And as Dior Homme Parfum (2014) is just as much of an absolute masterpiece, for my personal taste the intense is enough. The intense is all I need in the space of iris perfection. The parfum is stellar, more complex, more deep, richer and probably one of the very best of rose perfumes, but for me it is just too much of it. Thus, I prefer the simpler, straighter to the point flowery genius of the intense.
François Demachy I solute you and your immense genius. You defined a generation of perfumery. What a tragic letting you go. May another virtuoso take your place. May there be another day.
God bless.
