What is the impulse that drives a person to regularly douse their head in fragrances? Is it the desire for individuality? Are we looking for a reason to stand out from the crowd? Or do the pleasant scents that surround us provide a brief refuge from life's hardships and breathe some color into our gray existence?
Whatever the motivation, fragrances are generally used when emotions need to be articulated, when something personal wants to be lived. So it is not surprising that scents often polarize. What one person considers a successful composition is hardly worth a wrinkled nose to their neighbor.
Dior Homme certainly does not differ significantly from other perfumes in this regard. Yet this fragrance has a wholeness to it for me. Dior Homme is self-contained, emphasizes the uniqueness of the moment, and conveys joy in existence. It is wonderfully balanced and ethereal. When I wear Dior Homme, I am touched by a very own magic.
It is this magic that keeps drawing me back to Dior Homme. Compared to many other fragrances, my intention with Dior Homme is not primarily to emphasize something inherent to me. I enjoy wearing the scent for its own sake.
Despite its subtlety, DH has exemplary longevity and accompanies you throughout the day or night. Personally, I would advise against applying the fragrance too heavily; it shines best when used with the necessary finesse.
No question: A true great that will make its way into the Olympus of classics.
