How long have I had this decant now? Over a month? I fell head over heels in love with it when I first sprayed it on. And yet still I can’t really express how much I like this scent.
The initial smell reminds me a bit of a soft fluffy lemon cake. More cake than lemon by the way. And then it hit me. Is this the smell of a birthday cake? Funny, as this is an anniversary edition. That smell may linger a bit in the first hour and then it transforms a bit into something more waxy, like shoe polish. Maybe the tiniest bit of gasoline. But all amazingly under control by a cleanliness. Not bubbly soapy but clean nonetheless.
There’s something sweet and heavy going on. Reminding me a lot of Dior Homme Parfum (2014) . The “good” version according to connoisseurs. A bit of leather so to speak, but without the iris but with shoepolish.
It’s the best smell ever in my opinion. It’s super masculine. It’s got the perfect sillage, it’s got longevity. But there’s one gripe, the price. One advantage is that it makes the scent unique. But boy do I crave this. I won’t pay 400€ for 50ml, but I’ll check the online prices with great regularity.
@Smirky I've seen a recent interview with Sergio Momo, where he says that the Anniversary version has been updated and made "more contemporary". I haven't tried it yet, but I'd be surprised if it's not as Momo says.
I’m so glad I came across your comment. I just got a decant of Dior Homme Parfum and I immediately recognized the scent. To me, it smells SO much like Homme Anniversary. It’s uncanny how close the two are. At least the batches I got.
