Return of the King
I say Return of the King because I first met DHP three years ago and the beast he was to fill the room and stay on my skin with that robust signature blend of Leather & Iris settling on a darker bed of Oud and notes of cacao that monsieur DHI lacks…
And with concerns stemming from the disappointing reformulation of Dior Homme in 2020, I was worried about the King coming home in 2022 with everlasting battle scars, but lo and behold, the King still slaps! Just one spray of my June 2022 bottle batch 2F01 on the back of my hand lasted into the morning after a night shower.
And when the King joined me for our first public appearance in years, he made his presence known again, filling the rooms as he once filled with that full-bodied note of Leather, Iris and Ambrette Musk; that unique thread of sweet masculinity that at any moment could quickly become the polarizing beast should you give him enough power.
He still fills your nose with that DNA Valentino Uomo Intense just could not get right. And makes your skin feel warmer by tricking you with his seemingly spicy accord in the base of Dior’s only male quest into the Orient. He still seduces, and commands the room. Yet, is more inviting than Chanel’s pungent Le Lion. He still grabs you from afar and reminds the wearer who’s in charge. And still inspires you to wear your finest suit on even the most casual of occasions.
Behold the Return of the King!
