This fragrance "replaced" the
Dior Homme Parfum (2014) without ever having truly replaced it. It is clear that the reissue is always compared to the previous generation, as is the case here, and yes, the rest is history... This scent has nothing in common with any of the fragrances from the Homme line, neither with the original iris-based line surrounding
Dior Homme Original (2011) Eau de Toilette and "Dior Homme Intense (2011) | Dior," nor with the citrus-woody line featuring
Dior Homme (2020) Eau de Toilette or "Dior Homme Sport (2021) | Dior." It is something entirely its own and should have been treated accordingly. Whatever Dior was thinking, it did not work, as this fragrance does not fare well on any website.
Yet, it is not that bad. It certainly reminds some of "Le Mâle Le Parfum | Jean Paul Gaultier," and that is quite accurate. It remains an elegant fragrance, and one should definitely give it a try.
