D600

Firstly, I need to say, that Dior Homme is one of my fav lines ever. So when I saw statements that this is close to it and my local discounter had last piece of this for 59 euro (!!!), I pulled trigger immediately. tldr: THIS IS NOTHING SIMILAR TO ANY DH. but, I love it anyway, so not even mad. 8,75/10. longer version: - opening quite spicy and in your face, you get solid dose of pepper and cardamom - after an hour, spice notes will fade away little, but they are still present, and most dominant is vanilla and vetiver/ceder back bone, all blended perfectly, with no trace of synthetics (to amateur nose of course) - looking at note breakdown, I dont get any citruses, if there are some in opening, they got overpowered by pepper - Iris, yeah, tiny traces of it, but just only because I know it is supposed to be in there, if Id try this blindly, I wouldnt be able to detect any Iris. DONT SMELL THIS CLOSE to your skin - it is too spicy to my taste, spray on hand, and wave around for best experience. - of my skin, this is not unisex at all. masculinity - spicy + woody notes are too dominant for this being considered unisex. 30-35 guy, works out, shirt or polo, jeans, works in marketing for big corpo, sitting at cafe house during golden hour, larger mediterranean city (Barcelona, Napoli, Nice). D600 combining with cafe and cigarette aroma from around cafes and sea vibes. Chatter of locals after workday mixed with tourists roaming city, which is not going to sleep anytime soon. Too bad, that we will have to wait some time for such experience. Stay safe friends.

The opening for me is a full on blast of pepper and cardamon, very manly at this point, I get earthy vetiver in the background and iris is starting to show it's face. I find this to be extremely sexy and I love it on myself and also on my boyfriend on whom the scent opens completely different - its more citrusy and vetiver dominates the scent more than pepper. Heart brings something marvelous for me, it's a creamy vanilla-iris with peppers settling down in the background. It feels almost edible actually as the vanilla is so milky and creamy that the peppery/sweet scent reminds me a bit of masala chai. I also get cedar which usually does not work for me, but here it is simply perfect addition to scent. The base is what I love the most - cedar and vanilla, creamy and spicy at the same time, very sensual, dark and inviting. Even though this feels manly upon opening, it developed feminine on myself and stayed manly on my boyfriend, so skin chemistry does wonders. It is extremely high quality stuff and I love it greatly, it makes me feel very elegant and this is a perfect scent for, ehem, kinky night with someone special.

#1032 in my "Tour de Fragrance" Immediately put me in mind of Nobile 1942 "Ambra Nobile." This also reminds me a lot of Franck Olivier "Black Touch" but I like the iris here better than the geranium in Black Touch, and I definitely prefer the stronger sillage, all day longevity on the skin to the weaker performance of the Black Touch EDT. Spicey amber and vanilla. Almost a butterscotch candy scent. Unisex. I would go easy. Like a lot of strong amber-vanilla scents it could be nauseating in tight spaces. Probably not business wear for me. Very likeable. I'm probably going to end up with most of the Carner line on the shelf before I'm through. I've liked six of seven I've tried so far. I don't think you'll regret buying this, but if you like this kind of scent I think a better choice is Nobile 1942 "Pontevecchio" where the incense, ylang ylang and rosewood make a sharper, more unique, complex and interesting impression. Okay. 10 hours in and this stuff is still going and just ran into the fabulously beautiful and sexy Rebecca who hugged me and said, "You smell really good." I ordered a bottle.

After getting a bottle and looking at reviews everywhere, I think the comparison with Dior homme has been carried over the years. Dior homme was THE iris fragrance when this first launched, so this was compared to it, there was no Prada l’homme, for example, which I find a lot closer to D600. D600 is a clean iris fragrance, powdery, soapy, with a spicy-woodsy-vanilla background. I had Prada lhomme, which I really enjoyed for a time, but bored me. I find D600 really similar, just creamier in the drydown, something that I appreciate. Is less sharp, smoother, creamier and overall more interesting. I like this a lot, is pleasant and projects well; i was struggling to try infusion d’homme, gave up and bought this getting what I was expecting the Prada to be like.

I thought It would be one of my favourite perfumes from this brand... And i think is the less between the ones i have tried. The perfume is nice, a very creamy and bit sweet iris, but It is too subtle for me and It is such creamy that i dont know if i wear a perfume or a hand cream with a bit of iris scent when i spray It. So i think that in this Rangel of price there are much better options...and even cheaper! For example gentleman edp by givenchy which shares the creamy & sweet iris vibe but with 10 times more intensity and better performance. A daily iris perfume for spring.
