Why we need to support Dior Homme 2020
1st part" the scent itself
Loads of bergmot and a hint of pink pepper.
The Elimi Resin gives it a slight sweetness but it is far from a typical sweet scent.
The patchouli gives it a really expensive smell.
Some nuances from classics are here, it has a beautiful Hedione/Jasmine whaff like Eau Sauvage
Performance is VERY good, 2 sprays max otherwise you go olfactory fatigue within 30s
I've owned all 3 versions of Bleu de Chanel, to me, DH 2020 is just more bang for buck, unless you really dig the BDC DNA
Also, I would have given it a 10/10 scent score if it had a carnation note. To me, if a big dose of carnation is added this thing would be a perfect classy masculine (maybe not as modern in that case)
2nd part: why you need to stop trashing this
The main reason people are angry is that the iris is gone, so people think it's now a dumber-down version of the OG. No longer "unique" in the way that it makes us frag heads feel like high society people who have refined taste just because we are wearing something aesthetically feminine. (My guess is real high society men probably only wear Eau Sauvage/Pour Monsieur/or Whatever their wife buys them)
As a fraghead myself, I argue this: Most people who like the OG DH love the DHI as well. And since the 2020 version of DHI is freshened up. It's almost like somehow the OG DH and DHI are combined. Dior Homme Parfum is also in production, even though it's hard as heck to get here in the US. But DHI is still fairly accessible. To the folks who loved the OG DH, why don't you just go for DHI? Don't get me wrong I loved the OG DH as well but what is the reason to hate this new version?? It's not like Dior completely stopped the production of the OG DH. And you can still get your hands easily on DHI.
Also, here is my assumption. Chanel's big cash cows are BDC line, Allure Homme Sport line, and potentially Platinum Egoiste. Dior, however, has only one big cash cow=Sauvage line. They need something new and mass appealing to grow the business. Even though we fragheads adore other Dior masculines, I think most consumers can only stomach the Sauvage line. So I think it's a good move on Dior's part, they make more money, have more revenue to potentially pay Francois Demachy to invent more cool stuff. (I say this argument in assumption that both Dior and Chanel's primary cash source is NA and Asia market, and from my perspective, someone who lived in Asia before and now living in the USA, I know the general taste of people. NO way the OG DH can do well in Asia if it can't even thrive here)
Finally, I think it's too bad that Dior is owned by LVMH, I wish it has more independence. However, the fact that Dior still produces their artistic oldies like Fahrenheit and pumping out good privee offers give us a hope that Dior is still a fairly high-society fragrance brand.
Additionally, they supported Johnny in his time of distress, that's something I highly appreciate, so I don't mind buying myself a bottle of DH 2020 at all. It is pleasant and easy to wear, and a perfect replacement for BDC, which is just a bit too pricy at this point.
I enjoy and respect Dior as a fragrance house, and I support DH2020
Thank you for reading folks.
