The "Dior Homme Parfum | Dior" does everything right that the Dior Homme Intense (2011) does right, and even a little more.

A bit of leather added and the lipstick note dialed down a notch.
This creates an even greater masterpiece than the Dior Homme Intense (2011) already was.

The "Dior Homme Parfum | Dior" simply smells fantastic.
The iris provides a wonderfully slightly fresh opening enveloped in leather, which becomes the real star of the show as the fragrance unfolds.
Along the way, a perfectly dosed hint of sandalwood comes in, rounding off the scent perfectly.

It is not as sweet as the "Dior Homme Intense (2011) | Dior," which makes it feel a bit more mature and grown-up.

The longevity is brutal; even with newer batches, the fragrance lasts forever.
The sillage is also very strong and brings a lot of compliments from all sorts of people.

At around €140, it is not a cheap fragrance, but for what it does and can do, it is very fair.
For me, it is more to be classified as a niche fragrance.

It has that certain something...

It is widely recommended and in the perfumery, the salesperson was astonished that I was asking about this scent.
Apparently sold out for a long time, but he still had a tester bottle and told me that it is his absolute favorite fragrance.

Sprayed on and the opening?
Takes some getting used to!

The passion fruit with the rum has a strange quality, but this fades quickly and transitions into leatheriness and resinous notes.

As it develops, a bit of vanilla and tonka bean come through, bringing a certain sweetness.
This sweetness combined with the boozy character of the perfume fits perfectly.

H/S incredibly strong, sprayed on at noon, showered in the evening
The next day, I put on a light scent in the morning and by noon it had disappeared, and the Iommi came through again, I had never experienced anything like this.

Edit: By now, my absolute favorite fragrance!

Absolutely worth a test!

First attempt: Licorice, I don't like it
Second attempt: Still licorice, I don't like it

Third attempt: Well, this is actually quite good

The lavender in the opening is quickly overshadowed by the honey-tobacco-cinnamon composition
This is so unique, I've never smelled anything like it before!

The scent becomes so mysterious and noble that it piques interest and guarantees compliments

A sweetness in the fragrance further enhances its alluring character

Sillage and longevity are super good, as expected from Xerjoff

Absolute recommendation from me!

I smelled it back then at my brother's and thought, this smells like an old man.
Since then, I’ve always labeled it as such an old man’s scent.

Last year I tried it again and realized that it actually has something to offer, and it's really good!

The fragrance smells incredibly high-quality and has an elegance due to the lavender note that is present throughout the entire scent development.

I also perceive the much-discussed lipstick note, which makes the fragrance so sweet and irresistible.

I wore it recently at a wedding, and a buddy asked why it smelled like lipstick here. When I told him it was my perfume, he was stunned; a sniff of my blazer, and the guy had the scent in his shopping cart.

H/S very good on my skin

Niche quality at designer price!

In my search for the first niche fragrance, I tried "Erba Pura | XerJoff" and thought upon the first spray that it was a women's scent.

A few weeks later I tried it again and suddenly fell head over heels.
A fruit cocktail with vanilla and amber that is very sweet and very well received.

In the opening, there is a slight citrus freshness, but this fades quickly and transitions into a fruit composition that is unmatched.

Kirkè Extrait de Parfum is similar, but in my opinion not as rounded as "Erba Pura | XerJoff".

The sillage is absolutely intense; you really have to be careful with the dosage, as it can otherwise be overwhelming.

It works all year round and is almost always appropriate.

And the bottle is a feast for the eyes, looking beautiful on the shelf.

Great fragrance!
