Dior Homme 2020

Dior Homme 2020 is a men's fragrance from the house of Dior, launched in 2020. Created by renowned perfumer François Demachy, this composition belongs to the Woody Aromatic Masculine family. The proposal of Dior Homme 2020 is to offer a new interpretation of contemporary masculinity, with a cleaner, more sober and modern profile, compared to previous versions of the Dior Homme line. It is a perfume that balances elegance and virility with minimalist sophistication. Dior Homme 2020 marks a significant change in the Dior Homme line by abandoning the emblematic iris note that gave the previous version (2005/2011) a floral, powdery and sophisticatedly androgynous character in favor of a more modern, clean and decidedly masculine and versatile proposal. The fragrance opens with a fresh and bright bergamot, slightly spicy thanks to pink pepper, complemented by an elemi resin that adds a resinous and vibrant touch. The heart is dominated by the noble presence of Atlas cedar and cashmere wood, creating a dry but enveloping woody base. Patchouli adds a subtle earthy nuance. The drydown is marked by the generous use of Iso E Super, which provides a floating, almost translucent woody effect, mixed with the earthy touch of Haitian vetiver and the clean comfort of white musk. The result is a minimalist, sophisticated and elegant perfume — less bold than its predecessor, but still refined. Longevity: 7:30 to 8 hours Projection is moderate to strong in the first few hours, then becomes more intimate Long-lasting is good, especially in mild climates Dior Homme 2020 is extremely versatile. It works well: In the work environment, thanks to its cleanliness and discretion; For casual meetings or evening dinners, where its refined woody character stands out; During the day, but also elegantly at night; Ideal for the spring, fall and winter seasons. In the summer, it can be used in moderation. Comparison with Dior Homme 2005/2011 Although many fans of the classic version missed the iconic iris (which gave the composition a floral, polished and almost unisex air), Dior Homme 2020 is not a replacement, but rather a reinvention. It positions itself as a more confident, commercial and modern fragrance, which appeals to a wider audience. Although it has lost the artistic boldness of the original, it maintains the quality of the house of Dior, with an impeccable finish and well-balanced construction. Final Score: 9.2/10 Dior Homme 2020 is an elegant, contemporary and comfortable fragrance, ideal for those looking for a clean and sophisticated woody perfume without exaggeration. It lost the iris, but gained in usability and versatility, it continues to be an excellent representative of modern men's perfumery.

This right here, is my forever loved easy grab holy grail. Even with my basics like a gym scent, quick gas station trip scent or even chilling at the house scent, I keep it pretty designer/high-end/niche, but let me tell you. This masterpiece is the KING of masculine fragrances. When I was like 17 I had a bad collection of basic Versace’s and hollister, a paco robanne and some bath and body works. All these you can snag at a drug store or something, but then I blind bought this with sauvage when sauvage first came out, and it was the first fragrance that changed it all for me. Sauvage was good, but quickly became widespread, and was actually one of the handful of fragrances I would genuinely smell in public, and so smelling it everywhere else just added to my scent memory plus oversaturation of the smell (I’m not kidding dude only fragrance I smelled more than any other one in public) so to me it got old. Haven’t smelt it in a few years tbh, might not be bad to get a whiff of now that it’s been some time. Regardless, Dior Homme has gotten me so many compliments since day 1, it’s $150, it smells like it costs $500 a bottle, it lasts long as hell for a EDT and on clothes I’ve smelt it days later walking by a sweater hanging up that I wore with it on. It’s in my opinion, the best affordable luxury scent any man can buy hands down, I stand on that. Can easily become a signature scent, I’ll always make sure I have a bottle for life. If you’re reading this trying to find out if it’s worth buying or if you should grab it, just buy it. I promise you and everyone else will love it! 10/10 for everything it is.

i love this fragrance so much, my favorite mid range designer scent i have smelled so far. this scent i get a citrus like the zest of a tangerine peel, a very subtle cedar note, a sweet almost fruity floral, fresh clean vetiver that is not too strong, a soapy like accord, a clean classy suede like accord, and a sexy masculine musk. i originally picked this scent up late 2023, then later picked a second bottle around february this year, and even a third one in august just for back up. this scent is very masculine, very clean, very fresh, and very sexy, very classy all at once. i’ve gotten compliments saying i smell clean and so good through the years when wearing this. i never ever get tired of smelling it i love it every time, i smell it in my down time and it makes me happy. this fragrance can be worn on any occasion making you stand out while not drowning everyone out. when i first tested it in 2023 i thought it smelled nice but nothing too crazy, i held on to the tester strip as i tested other fragrances but then smelled it again as it dried down and the musk in this sealed the deal for me. even when the scent dies out after a day out i can still smell this clean sexy masculine musk and cedar and it smells so good. this musk and cedar stamps your clothes, car, and house while wearing it as a signature scent. now one thing i have noticed in the more recent bottles i bought being 2024 batches the musk and cedar isn’t as prominent but still there and not a deal breaker, through i still miss what i had with my first bottle. a humble 9.8/10 for me, hope to own this for ever and ever.

I’ve been on the journey for 3 years or so. Have all the overhyped clones. Cdnim was my first love. After all the dupes showed up and disappointed or smelled good or became a daily driver, and I’ve smelled all the genres from oud to syrupy sweet to voyage, and thought it was gross people would recommend some of that stuff, I decided to take my discovered taste and spend the money on an original designer scent. Smelled everything I could possibly think of that would even possibly fit into my taste. Of course a lot of it smelled good. Went by notes and built an Idea of what I wanted. A lot of trial and error. Thought I’d like something, so test it and be bummed but I’d learn something. But, I smelled this and was honestly a little shooketh. It smells so good. Generic is bullshit. Maybe it’s not filled with weird shit like oud and thyroid flesh like you fragheads claim to like. Nobody thinks you smell good. Nobody wants to smell that. It’s not sexy. So, I went into Sephora to steal a few full wearings. I felt like the classiest sexiest man in every room I was in. My confidence was double. It’s not generic. It’s LIKEABLE. It’s not FUNKY. Go smell it. For a moment, you’ll forget you’ve got a 4 inch hog and your wife doesn’t go down anymore. Youll forget you’re leaving the store in a 04 Honda. For a few hours, you’ll feel like king ding dong. Might even manifest it. Only complaint is my mouth got a little soapy when I over sprayed. Overall, 9/10

Dior Homme 2020 is one of those fragrances that rewards patient attention the sort of close scrutiny most of us never grant anything because we are too busy with the habitual minutiae of life. The opening is immediately crisp and clean almost architectural in its clarity with a woody and slightly musky character that feels modern and sophisticated without ever sliding into ostentation. There is a subtle warmth beneath the surface a quiet balance that allows it to inhabit a space comfortably without demanding it. It is versatile in the truest sense able to function seamlessly across seasons occasions and settings and in an office meeting it communicates competence and care without ever shouting. It is a departure from the classic Dior Homme DNA the old iris-driven versions that some of us still revere but that is fine because Dior periodically reissues the "Original" for us purists and collectors who cannot let go. This version instead feels like a deliberate pivot aligning neatly with Dior Homme Sport 2021 and Dior Homme Parfum 2025 part of a broader reimagining of the line that is coherent and intentional. For anyone seeking a scent that can perform flawlessly anytime of year and for any occasion Dior Homme 2020 is quietly brilliant and easily a top five office scent a workday companion that manages the rare feat of being both understated and undeniably compelling.

Like many, I was saddened at this release and how the line had started to change. But I did find the scent pleasant and purchased a bottle. After a long time with this fragrance, and in a collection of over 100, I still frequently reach for this. Is it good in the heat? Yes! Good in the cold? Yes! Good for my office when conducting client meetings? Yes! Good on a date with the wife? Yes!! It is more complex than some would have you believe, but I see why some write it off quickly. I think they are mistaking boldness for complexity. Is this bold- like a Spicebomb, Le Beau, or Valentino? With big fat top notes, screechy aroma chemicals, and a huge musty (not musky) wood base as so many others trend toward? Absolutely not. This is smooth and subtle, yet still very present. I think this scent is sublime. I never tire of wearing it. And as a work of chemistry I am dumbfounded how they’ve created something that is both light yet long-lasting. How it can bloom in the heat without choking out breathing air, yet also maintain a presence in the freezing cold. So many other brands fail where this has succeeded. I will be sorely disappointed at the inevitable weakening reformulation. But for now it remains in my top rotation.

I’ve spoken about this one extensively on my YouTube channel since its release. When I heard some of the first reviews, I was convinced I wouldn’t like it and that I’d never own it. Why? Perhaps for the same reason you also felt apprehensive: it’s not the original. *scoff* I finally got a decant and tried really hard not to like it for about a week—but I found something simply charming about it. I realized why that is—while it is not a special-smelling fragrance, it is also not at all generic. Interesting. Demachy managed to accomplish one of the most difficult blending of characteristics in modern mainstream perfumery: a profile that is accessible and versatile, while being relatively unique. Think about that for a moment. How often do we see this trifecta in new releases? It does not smell quite like any particular fragrance profile or trend that came before it, while being easy to wear and easy to like. Ironically, that’s no easy task. I won’t bother breaking down the scent because it’s been done effectively countless times, and the fragrance is so widely available; you can smell it in your local department stores or easily find a decant online. Try it with an open mind. It may surprise you.

This perfume was gifted to me by my mother and father in law before getting married. At the time I was a little bit younger (19/20 years old) and I never really understood how great of a fragrance this truly is. Now being more experienced with perfumes, I can admit my original opinion on this fragrance was entirely wrong. This is a opulent, sweet, citrusy and woody perfume. It's definitely a little bit too mature for younger guys, but perfect for those seeking a more sleek and refined scent. It's not the loudest, neither is it trying to be. It's a modest, great smelling year-round scent that can be worn everyday, but I wouldn't overspray this perfume because it can be a tad bit cloying with its sweetness. Longevity: Lasts on my skin for 5-6 hours (6/10) Projection: Decent projection for first 2 hours but after that is really just a skin scent (6/10) Scent Profile: Masculine Woods with Citrus and Sweetness - also super soft and opulent (9/10) Packaging: Super high quality bottle, love the atomizer and whole vibe of the bottle (10/10) Overall: 7.5/10, definitely a safe blind buy for someone wanting a mature and masculine perfume.

Dior Homme (2020) does not shout; it speaks in low tones — measured, assured, and impossibly close to the skin. The opening feels like clean linen over warm skin, a breath of bergamot and cedar carried by air still heavy from rain. It is elegant in restraint, a fragrance that understands the power of silence.As it unfolds, the heart reveals a tender duet of woods and musks — smooth, groomed, but not sterile. There’s something achingly human beneath the polish, a heartbeat beneath the glass. It straddles confidence and vulnerability with ease, like someone who knows both love and solitude and wears each with quiet dignity.The dry down is soft leather and lingering warmth, a kind of whispered goodbye that stays longer than you expect. It’s not about seduction but presence — the memory of someone who leaves the room, and yet somehow remains.Dior Homme (2020) is the scent of modern tenderness: precise yet emotional, clean yet weighted with feeling. It is masculinity reimagined — not in force, but in grace. Five stars, for its quiet courage to speak softly in a world that shouts.

Dior Homme (2020) is the finest woody fragrance in my collection. It's a distinctive masculine scent that is incredibly pleasant, blending an icy-fresh sensation with a refined vintage character. If you enjoy Dunhill Icon EDP or Terre d'Hermès EDT, this is a safe blind buy. Removing the iris note from this version was a brilliant decision by Dior, as I've never been a fan of iris in men's fragrances. That said, people with limited fragrance experience, or those who are mainly used to today's sweeter releases, may find its classic style a bit unexpected. This fragrance earns compliments consistently without ever leaning feminine or unisex. It's a true workhorse with excellent longevity and projection, delivering the kind of performance you'd expect from a high-quality Eau de Parfum. It also makes an outstanding signature scent. The only situation where I wouldn't recommend it is in extreme heat, although it performs beautifully up to around 30°C (86°F) if you go easy on the sprays. The bottle itself is a work of art. This is one fragrance that will never leave my collection.

Sauvage for men that read books. Jokes aside, this stuff is great. It really is like Sauvage and Dior homme are branches from the same Dior tree well designed fragrance lines! Very woody, the vetiver is actually quite prominent to my nose, soft, slightly spicy and crunchy but not too much. Smooth and rounded, just enough sweetness. It has some synthetic qualities so it will probably be easy to go nose-blind too this. Performance seems very much above average, it survived my entire gym workout, not many fragrances manage to do that. Sillage doesn't seem crazy, but I think as I mentioned above it's easy to go noseblind to this, probably a lot louder than the wearer perceives. Reminds me a bit of Mancera's Vetiver Sensuel but sweeter and smoother, and obviously not as vetiver focused, also Amberful too but much brighter. I get luxury handcrafted soap shop, woodcraft, nostalgic to me. As for season? This feels like a all-year signature fragrance, maybe not in the highest of heatwaves, but summer nights or cooler summer days, absolutely.

I have this over 2 years, constantly using it across every seasons and gone through various bottle by now. I must say this is one of the best Woody Aromatic perfumes I have used. You do smell the Elemi the most with the pepper which is fresh and uplifting. This is has a really nice dry down which is woody, aromatic & musky. I must say out of all the EDT I have owned this certainly impressed me the most, it projects for 2 hours and last more than 7 hours. I wore it for formal office use, networking and interviews. Everyone, really liked the scent. I have got so many compliments on this one. Definitely, the best office fragrance. Note: This is not your typical iris office fragrance like Prada lhomme or Givenchy Gentlemen Boisée. This is a sharp elemi and iso e super dominant fragrance, but trust me wait for the dry down it will gather so much compliments in a formal setting. But, this is will be spicy and nose fatigue inducing fragrance in summer and warm spring days, wear it in cooler nights and days when the cool wind blowing.

This is to Dior what Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme is to Chanel with respect to sillage and longevity. Gentlemen, you're going noseblind by being in close proximity to the scent. Others (including myself when I haven't sprayed for several days) can definitely smell it on you and it smells amazing in the air, it really does. As with AHSEE, the magic is in the sillage. Most underrated flagship base scent by far from any of the big designer houses. I wish this to be what Versace Pour Homme, Prada L'Homme, YSL L'Homme, etc. is to the other houses. You don't have to reformulate this every 7 - 10 years. Also, it's fresher than both Bleu de Chanel EdP and EdT when you compare them side-by-side. Try it for yourself. All four seasons, day/night, casual/formal, office/cuddly date, etc. Works for any occasion. Your one and done scent that people will remember you by. And you will get compliments with this, it's my second most complimented fragrance to Versace Eros at this point, which speaks volumes.

Honestly super underrated compliment puller. I don't get much of like a fresh pop to it, but it is definitely clean, very masculine and elegant in my opinion. I feel like I have to be at least dressed up in some nice jeans to be wearing this, definitely not a cozy stay at home type of scent. It can be used in all seasons but I think this will be a banger for the upcoming spring. Take this review with a grain of salt because I love woody scent profiles and this just hits the mark for me because I don't have very many woody scents that aren't also vanilla and or heavier winter fragrances. And to this day this has gotten me some of the most compliments, I literally had the front desk lady of my orthodontist office that I go to walk out of the door to yell at me from 100 feet away saying "What are you wearing!?! you smell so good" Defiantly underrated and a great pickup if you can find it for a good price, I think I got mine for $70 off of Beauty house for a 100mL, so worth it.

The opening is citrusy aromatic with a soft woody base. Very clean and very professional from the first spray. I see it as a modern version of the Dior Homme line. It moved away from the iris style into something more woody and easier to wear. Performance is the weak point. Around 3 hours on skin, maybe up to 5 hours on clothes. Sillage is noticeable for the first 30 minutes then it sits close. The main issue for me is the performance. The scent itself is really nice, calm, and easy. Very safe for daily use, especially for work. I even used it sometimes before sleep because it’s that soft and relaxing. I’d recommend it if you want something clean and professional you can wear anytime. Just be ready to reapply or carry the bottle with you. Smell: 8/10 Longevity: ~3 hours (skin), ~5 hours (clothes) Sillage: noticeable (~30 min) Seasons: All seasons Age: 20+ Main accord: citrus, aromatic, woody, clean, soft

Quality and balance are the best ways I can describe this fragrance. The opening leans a bit powdery, with soft bergamot and a light touch of pepper. After a few minutes, the elemi comes through, adding a subtle resinous nuance that sticks around into the drydown. Even the color of the liquid somehow matches the scent. The real gold is in the drydown, this is where Dior Homme truly shines. The more time passes, the better it gets. After about an hour on the skin, the woody notes start to show more presence. It’s a very clean and pleasant woodiness. I never fully understood the idea of a “clean woody” scent until this fragrance showed it to me. Woods, vetiver, and musk feel perfectly balanced and measured. The result is an excellent aroma that feels comfortable. Excellent as a signature scent and perfect for moments when you want to dress well and step out feeling confident. Dior Homme is a great scent.

Beautiful woodsy, manly without being old man at all. This is to iso-e super what Sauvage is to ambroxen, one of the best representations of the aromachemical. Homme 2020 is just straight up versatile as it gets. I really enjoy that I get the very woodsy scent but still smell modern. Can be overwhelming right at first spray but after 10-15 minutes it settles into something beautiful. Any man can wear this from 20-80 years old. I'm sure some women could pull it off too if she's into woodsy scents but it definitely leans masculine in my opinion. This to me is a near masterpiece. Scent: 9/10, just wish the opening was more sparkling type citrus then dries to woods. Really just nitpicking. It's not a wow scent but it's so well done. Longevity: 8.5/10, around 7-8hrs with most of that being arms length with four sprays. Sillage/Projection: 7/10, arms length with nice trail Overall: 8.75/10

Love it. It's so easy to wear, but not boring. Very versatile for many occasions, i mostly wear it to office in spring and summer. It's a great warmer weather scent, not for very hot days, but just 15-22C weather. The freshness is very well balanced with a little woody undertone, but not heavy. A bit on the mature side, but it suits me (40 year old) very well. It's not very loud, but it's there when you need it. I will last all day on me, from 7:30 in the monring to around 6/7 at night. Perfect for a workday in my opinion. They should have named this something else and kept the OG line as is though, as the Dior Homme line is my favorite line, i love DHI and the OG DHP. The name really made the sentiment bad around this fragrance, which is a shame because it's really really good on it's own.

Fragrance Journal Entry #188 I remember when this first came out it got a TON of hate, because of this i never bothered to try it, however i got a macy's magazine in the mail one day and it had this on a smelly strip in one of the pages. I was immediatly hooked, everything those reviewers were saying about this was wrong. Such a perfect modern manly fragrance, alot of woods, a little citrus, and musk, simple in it's composition but complex enough to stand on it's own. This is currently the best from the Dior Homme lineup and easily the most wearable, truly signature scent worthy. Lesson here is to not get caught up in the "influencer" hivemind and try things for yourself, fragrance is probably the most subjective hobby out there. Rating: 9.3/10 Blind Buy Safe? YES

I am very happy that I bought this one. Dior is one of my favourite perfume houses, and it rarely disappoints, as is the case with this fragrance. The scent opens very citrusy with this sharp yet smooth bergamot. Then it transforms into this deeper woody, musky, fresh-aromatic citrus scent that is very mass-appealing and at the same time somewhat unique. The performance is amazing for a freshy. Easy 8 hours with strong to moderate projection. Sometimes it stays on me even after I shower. Definitely recommend you try it out. It may not appeal to some because of the vetiver in this, but everything else should be fine. Overall, for me, this is a hidden gem in the Dior Homme line. Longevity: 8.5 of 10 Projection: 8 of 10 Smell: 10 of 10 Overall: 9 of 10

BDC who? This is far better, more modern, sophisticated and classy when compared BDC. I have 100 ml of BDC EDP and 50 ml parfum, and they are an order of magnitude less quality than this one, BDC feels bottom shelf synthetic rack store find when compared to Dior Homme 2020. The vetiver and musk smell so natural and clean and the woods are of high quality, including the synthetic notes. When this came out I was disappointed as it didn't have the signature iris note, but I think Dior wanted to beat Chanel at their own game, and they did. One labeling problem with this line of fragrances. Dior Homme 2020 and Dior Homme Sport 2021 should swap names or something. The sport flanker is heavier and thicker despite the citrus opening.

An underrated gem, although it does seem to be gaining in popularity. I might have to grab a back up bottle... before Dior goes and butchers it like they do every other frag in the Homme line. It smells classy, smooth, woody, and with a huge dose of Iso E Super. Gone is the iris from the other Dior Homme fragrances. It's an absolute compliment beast that women love. Note: This stuff is deceptively strong. It can cause noseblidness more quickly than any fragrance I've personally owned. Repeatedly, I have convinced myself this had worn off, only to receive a compliment hours later. I get 6+ feet of projection (3 sprays) in the first few hours, and 3+ feet in the drydown, with 8+ hours longevity.

The quintessential office fragrance that can do so much more. Sober, respectable, responsible, grown up, clean and classy. Very woody, a bit resinous, slightly citrusy. It can be worn in both casual or formal settings, but it's perhaps better suited for the day, as it doesn't really convey a seductive/night life aura. This is signature scent material for the dependable guy who commands respect without being cocky, flashy or oppulent. A gem in its own right, only overshadowed by the nostalgia for its predecessor. The performance is excellent, thanks to a great dose of ISO E Super. Do not let yourself be deceived by your nose, this thing will go on and on long after you think it's gone! 8.75/10

This shares some similarities with Aventus, Sauvage (incl. Elixir) and Terre D'Hermes, all at once. Interesting composition. Woodsy (especially in the opening), Pineapple (mid-phase), Coca-Cola (several hours in). It has a refreshing vibe to it as well in the realms of Bleu-de-Chanel-fresh, but it's warm-spicey-Sauvage-Elixir-fresh as opposed to BdC-cold-fresh, if that makes sense. It's a fragrance that feels warm, woodsy and spicy with a touch of pineapple-gourmand. It has me thinking of a toned down, more formal but still rugged Dior Sauvage Elixir. Edit: layer this with Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme and let it dry for a couple of hours. You're welcome.

So heterosexual it's almost homophobic. Dripping with monogamy & loyalty. Wearing this screams "My sex life doesn't require condoms or prescription drugs". It doesn't try to force a vibe where it doesn't belong, making you smell desperate or lost. Many modern men's fragrances wear you instead of you wearing them - Homme 2020 doesn't have that problem. It just adapts to any situation and compliments your personality without dulling your other traits. Wearing it for a year now, I have yet to find myself in a situation where it felt inappropriate. It smells like there are ancient texts detailing its preparation. Timeless, good.

Underrated fragrance. Yesterday i wore it in the morning and i went out of town, the weather was extremely rainy and it was a big thunderstorm during the night, and i did about 2 rounds of sprays on my neck so probably 8-10 sprays so this EDT could cut through the weather, and i kid you not, i got whiffs of this very musky, spicy and dusty scent 15 hours after applying/right before i went to bed, and my sister asked what i was wearing during the day (big sister approving is a W). All in all it’s a great fragrance and it suits a guy who effortlessly takes great care of himself, which is who i aspire to be. Dior Homme.

9/10! This has slowly become one of my favorite scents. Just wow. This is a very handsome scent. Smells like a gentleman. Warm, but not too harsh for summer days. All year-rounder, any occasion, day and night. Ultra pleasant and inviting. The type of scent that makes someone want to lean in closer. Very simple, but beautifully formulated. This has gotten me more compliments than I ever would have thought. Very underrated and I'm not mad that the hype isn't crazy because it makes it feel a bit more special when worn. I prefer this one over BDC EDP but don't let the comparisons spoil this one for you.

a shame this gives a weird old man smoky woodyness on my skin. it smells just ok. but the scent it leaves on my clothes after hours, even days, is intoxicating. it smells so gently masculine ughhhhhhhhh this deserves a lot of backshots, a scent that quietly stands out being by being itself instead of trying to portray something, this scent helps you portray what you are without faking, no prejudice, a perfume that you wear, not a perfume that wears you. so i bought the gel douche and deo and i think that’s how it’s supposed to smell on my skin

Great scent, I regret not buying it earlier. Many people compare it to Dior Homme Sport 2021, but in my opinion they are very different. Typically masculine, very well balanced, fresh and present scent! It is not typical, it has a good personality! It is still winter here in Bulgaria and I think it does not fully develop in the cold weather, but it still lasts a long time! I am looking forward to spring to see how it is. Otherwise, it does not betray the quality of Dior and the master Francois Demachy. I think this is my signature scent...

Iso e super bomb. Woody with some citrus on top. It's a really simple idea that has been extremely well-executed. I think you can be impressed with how good it smells, but you can't be impressed with what it's trying to do. Dior have made a brilliantly versatile mass-appealing woody fragrance. The only potential criticism is that it's a boring idea, yet Dior were not trying to reinvent the wheel with this release. Should you buy it? I doubt it would offer anything new to your collection. That being said, it does smell great.

Okay this is coming from someone who has daily used it for a long time. Very generic but in a good way. Very inoffensive, smells classy and it performs good enough, basically the perfect beater daily fragrance. It definitely does get boring, I say this as in there is no changes or complexity which I think is the biggest problem with this fragrance. Not only is the composition quite simple but after it dries down there are no changes, just smells the same but more faded. Longevity wise around 5-6 hours

A pleasant and subtle scent that lasts approximately 8 hours with moderate projection. And this is during the winter, the projection and logenvity should be bigger in spring and summer. I have the 150ml, and it's a very good value for the money I paid. It opens citrusy, and then the vetiver and the woods kick in. Very masculine, which I love. If you like woody fragrance with a bit of citrus and musk, which is good value at the same time, don't hessitate to add it to your shopping list.

Single handedly my most complimented fragrance from absolute strangers. I have gotten told I smelled handsome and that they need to know what it was bc they want their man to smell like that. These compliments have come as late as 10 hours into the wear. This fragrance lasts; the ISO E SUPER makes you go noseblind. This is for the reserved masculine man who demands respect but is not begging for it. Got a 5oz and if I get wind of it being discontinued ill be buying multiple

Very masculine, fresh, classy and modern. I really like this one, because it deviates from the typical sweet / trendy mens perfumes that are on the market right now. Smells expensive and high quality. Lasts a long time on my clothes (12+h) but by then you can barely notice it, meaning that projection is rather weak. Smells great in the air when you walk by and leave a scent trail! Get this if you want a very masculine fragrance without it being cheap and dated.

Girls love this one and I can't blame. Smells simple, clean, aromatic and woodsy. I get good performance as well. I recently sampled Dior Homme 2011 and I can see why people are upset at Dior for removing the beloved Iris note since it was so perfect the way it was. I kinda wish they introduced this as a flanker or new line. However, If you are looking for a good reliable daily or signature scent, I would say it's worth a try.

I think Dior's main accomplishment with this fragrance is that once it is gone or replaced with something different entirely, no one would really be losing sleep over it. I have a 50 ml bottle from 2020, going on six years now, and put in maybe a quarter dent into it. If it was stolen from my collection I probably wouldn't notice. I still think it is a pleasant fragrance, sure, but it is by no means a "must have".

This is the fragrance that seems to generate the most compliments for me. I was hesitant to buy it because it for such a big fragrance company and likely being worn by many. When I wore it to the office I was asked twice about the fragrance. It has great performance all-around and is not overly expensive. It can be worn in most situations and is office friendly. I would say it's more of a fall fragrance for me.

I might have written a review about this one earlier, I don't remember. To me, this has become one of the best designer fragrances released in the past 10 years. It is on its way to replace Cedrat Boise as my signature scent. This goes beyond blue fragrances to something more elevated, sophisticated, and refined. No other designer house can come close at this time. An absolute gem.

I have over 130 fragrances and yet, I am about to finish second bottle of Dior Homme 2020. That just shows how much I am actually wearing it. Great fragrance. Very classy, yet so versatile that you can wear it with tracksuit or in the gym. It's fresh and clean, but also has slightly ambery dry down. It feels super comfy while wearing and just makes me feel happy and calm.

@zsandor I'd say start with Dior Homme 2020 or Dior Homme Sport 2021 (was my signature fragrance). Don't overthink it. You can spray what YOU think is a reasonable amount for YOU. Everyone is different. One thing to keep in mind, is that fragrances I suggested are easy to get noseblind to. But I've got many compliments on both, so less is more in this case. Good luck!

Wore this today, pulled it up on Fragrantica, and noticed I had it rated as a "like." ...Immediately moved to a "love." It's just so good for my taste. Masculine, unpretentious, and ultraversatile. I respect and appreciate what the original Dior Homme did for men's fragrances, but as a rule, I would pick this over an iris-centered frag nine times out of ten.

I bought this back in 2023 during my senior year of high school. I didn't like it at first, but over the course of a few years, my brain kept wanting to smell it again. I smelled it again in the line of an Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland. Pulled the trigger for it this year, and I now have a 100ml and a 50ml bottle of it. So elegant, man. 4.5/5

Honestly, I didn't expect to like it that much, judging by the comments all over the internet. But it became one of my favorites! Lasts a whole day at the office, my colleagues love it, it is "basic", buit high quality "basic". Smells very inviting, even people who hate fragrances, didn't bother me standing close to them. A solid 4.5/5 from me!

@zsandor thanks for the details. I’d recommend something simple like Azzaro sport men. Maybe that will stay fresh on your skin and won’t turn sweet or if you want to avoid making another purchase, I would suggest focusing on spraying your cologne of choice directly on your clothes rather than on skin. Good luck on your fragrance journey!

I got this 4 years ago and said it was an ok fragrance and that it’s probably not worth getting. Man have things changed! This might be one of my most complimented fragrances out of my entire collection. Compliment every time I wear it. Also has the biggest dent. Definitely back up bottle worthy. Funny how our noses change over time

Such and underrated and overhated gem. Super masculine woody character with aromatic background that just pulls you in and makes you want to smell it more. Id imagine either a classy gentleman in a suit wearing this or a burly biker with a beard. Either way really masculine while staying safe, non offensive and somehow even fresh.

Super classy, compliment puller, and also very versatile. It’s definitely an elegant woody scent, but it can be pulled off even in the summer if you are mindful of the amount: plus you could arguably wear this anywhere and any occasion. It’s just nice and easy. One of my Signature Scents that I’ll continue to buy.

I'm not sure if this is a scent for others to enjoy or not, but out of all my fragrances, to me this is "sophistication" in a bottle. It's mature, well put together, sophisticated man. I pick it over Sauvage. I could smell it all day. In fact, sometime i spray in before bed just so I can smell it again.

This was my signature scent in 2021-2023. I’ve since then have gotten into niche houses, especially MFK, Frederic Malle and Matiere Premiere. I’ve owned hundreds of fragrances but I always keep coming back to this. Just sexy, woody and masculine. Wear anywhere, anytime. The perfect signature scent. 9/10

Although I liked the iris in previous formulations, this is probably a more versatile wear. It smells masculine without going into the barbershop-y or smoky woods directions. It’s clean, performs decently and it’s the perfect dumb reach while also being something you could use as your signature scent.
