Dior Homme Cologne 2013

Im super excited to finally get my hands on this.Its one of the most polite and noble scents i have come accross in my modest frag journey.Its super safe and easy to wear.If i could every morning i would swim in a pool full of Dior Homme Cologne,haha.Sadly,the summer is about to end soon but i hope that i will be able to use during the hot autumn days.It was a love from the first spray and i knew that i have to have it xD It was on my radar for a year.I have tested it twice beforehand and the longevity really impressed me,i was able to detect a slight skin scent on the next morning(12-13 hour later)and when i was in my bed i was taking a waft throughout my sleep,for such a scent profile,such longevity is decent.I dont know about sillage,but once i was at the stadium to watch my team,i have ran into his sillage from an uknown person and it might came from 2-3 meters,i was really impressed and that made even more craving to have it.The second time i have tried i got goosebumps on my head,it was my first time experience it from a perfume.Expect some old bottles clearance,i was able to get a smoking deal,200 ml for 80 euros.Had some preoccupations that it might have gone weaker were it an old batch,but decided to gamble and it paid off.Its the old bottle design but who cares,if you ask me i prefer the old ones.Its much more stylish and minimalistic,but its all about business after all,a revenue has to come.You may say its too simplistic and ordinary but thats what i love about it,minimal at its best.I love minimal,minimal music,clothes and art.Less is more.The main notes are only three,but you can feel them all,its not like other complex pieces where everything gets blended together and some notes are hardly detectable.Its a mass appealing frag,but who cares,man,its no shame to dip your toe in such things once in a blue moon.I glaudly introduced him to my modest collection and from now on,it will be an honorable member of my rotation squad,i will be rocking him today,hehe.Oh,and i almost forgot,the atomizer spays like a boss,its not the kind that sprays over excessively,but you are in the drivers' seat.

When I first smelled this years ago it felt like I finally found THE fragrance for me, the perfect one, my holy grail. Anyone here who has been looking for their sort of holy grail scent will probably recognize that it feels like a weight is lifted off your shoulders when you finally find it, I felt so happy. A review was long overdue, because DHC has been my signature scent for 4 years now and I still can’t imagine anything smelling better than this. The uncomplicated bergamot-grapefruit blossom-white musk combo results in a super refreshing and uplifting happy scent that is as inoffensive as it can be. Plus it has elegance like all Dior Homme's. Makes me think of a gentleman wearing a white linen shirt drinking a fresh lemonade at a fancy summer party. This is also the only fragrance that I could wear almost every day year-round and not get tired of. I’d gone through my 125ml bottle in 1.5 years which is something I'd never expected happening with any fragrance, so of course it got replaced by a 200ml. The bottle is beautiful with a fantastic atomizer like all Dior Homme's, and the frosted white glass is extremely fitting. Performance is not the best, as mentioned a lot, though it's not bad either and it serves its purpose as an EdC and fresh summer fragrance. I usually use 6 sprays (which is ~twice my usual) and it lasts about 4 or 5 hours with low projection. Don't forget to spray on your shirt though as it lingers nicely for you to smell throughout the day. Its performance and smell ultimately make it the perfect inoffensive daily fragrance. Between this and Chanel Allure Homme Sport Cologne (which it is often compared to, definitely try out both side-by-side) I easily prefer the Dior. If you like this kind of citrus scent I personally find them clearly different enough to warrant owning both. Both perform similar, both are (too) expensive.

Beautiful take on bright tart citrus with a jaw-dropping top note. Calabrian bergamot is a note I am quite familiar with after living in southern Italy. It has a certain contrast to it between an airy tart juiciness and an aromatic bitterness. This definitely captures that bright juicy zing, but without any of the green bitter or oily facets. There is just enough sweetness to counterbalance the sharpness of the bergamot, without muting it, reminds me of a high end natural lemonade that is high in tartness, but has just the right amount of sugar to keep it pleasant. Citrus enthusiast surely know that when you buy a citrus fragrance you are essentially wearing its dry down, since the best citrus top notes tend to disappear in a matter of minutes. So what do you get in DIor Homme Cologne? A convincing grapefruit undertone, zesty and 'yellow' that last for about an hour on me, and then it settles on a delightful musky dry down that may just be as elegant and smooth as the top note. You can tell there are some expensive musk compounds at work here, I suspect a bit of ambrettolide, giving a cold, slightly white floral aura, but also a mysterious cotton like fuzzy musk I can't really place that seems to float almost off your skin. I easily get another 3-4 hours of that musk on my skin, projecting moderately with about 3-4 good sprays in total. I see a lot of criticism about the performance, and by no means is this a beast mode EdC, but I suspect a lot of it has to do with how musky the dry down is, a lot of people are simply becoming noseblind to it when wearing it, or may just be entirely anosmic to some of the musks used in this. For me the artistry of the top note, and suave musk dry down which clearly contains some high end musk compounds that never feel soapy or cloying clearly justify the premium Dior price.

People claiming this has "abysmal" performance and "doesn't last more than 30 minutes" are misunderstanding this fragrance. It's not a citrus fragrance, it's a citrus MUSK fragrance. My friend gave this two sprays and I was smelling musk on them all day. I've received compliments about smelling "sweet and fresh" 8 hours after applying six sprays. Perhaps most casual fragrance owners are not familiar with the scent of "white musk". DHC features a white musk / orange blossom heart/drydown that lasts for HOURS and projects very well. It's just not a scent that many people can easily identify. It's very transparent and soft. Almost akin to fresh white linen out of the dryer. This is a soft, musky scent. Do yourself a favor and try spraying this AWAY from your nose. On your cuffs, your pants, your belly. You will get whiffs of musk for hours, and hours. The freeze-dried, fresh lemon opening only lasts 30-45 minutes tops before this transforms into a musk scent. This is a "Fresh" scent in a freshly dried laundry sort of way. I'll say it again, DHC has phenomenal projection and longevity if you view it as a musk fragrance. The problem is, many people on here do not know what musk smells like, or they become quickly anosmic to it from spraying too close to their nose, or they could be completely anosmic to the type of musk used in here. And no, Jimmy Choo Man Ice smells like a synthetic showergel cocktail compared to this. It's not even in the same league. The closest relative in my opinion would be Chanel Allure Homme Sport Cologne. This is my second review to address concerns about DHC's performance.

I lived with my wife (ex wife at this point) on an apartments building. Sometimes, when I took the elevator, it would smell manly, fresh, clean and sharp. I always wondered what it was, I started to have a relationship with that fragrance... I was its secret admirer. I wondered how I would feel rocking that beauty. One day the son of the owner who lived in the penthouse was in the elevator and I knew it was him. I am a very prideful creature and at that moment I didn't ask. I regretted it hard. Some weeks later I found the guy again on the morning, swallowed my pride and asked. Dude only told me: It's Dior. Fuck it... I had a clue at least. I didn't want to look on the internet for it. That very same day I went to the department store and searched thoroughly for it. Tried all the Dior fragrances but I couldn't find it. I couldn't give up at that point and went to another store and then to another. There I found a white bottle that I haven't smelled and before even opening the cap... I knew that it was 'it'. I opened it up and sprayed directly on my skin. Took the 200 ml bottle with me that evening and since then, I have bought another 200 ml one. It's that good for me. The fragrance smells like a manly lemonade. It's Dior. Refined, classy, fresh, playful but sober. Amazing for summer and spring. Casual or dressed up. On my skin it lasts at least 6 hrs, get yourself a huge bottle and a decant. It's a hidden jewel that may be too simple for some but... why does everything need to be complicated?

Apologies for the long review but it is well deserved. This is perhaps one of the best warm weather fragrances that I have come across. The genius is in it's simplicity. Upon the inital spray on my skin, I instantly pick up the bright citrusy accord from the bergamot. Puts me in the mindest of freshly cut bergamot with hints of lemon. Mind you, the citrus accord never comes off sour or potent but rather bright, energetic, and elegant. I begin to pickup the grapefruit blossom shortly after of which to my nose, adds a touch of green to the bergamot, with a very smooth and subtle floral lining. At this stage the cologne smells distinctly fresh and crisp. You begin to pick up the musk once this fragrance begins to drydown. It has now transitioned from bright and energetic to soft and airy which brings a very clean/soapy touch. It blends very nicely with the white floral note from the grapefruit blossom. The bergamot starts to fall away during the deep dry down, but I can still pick it up here and there. A humble fragrance that envokes timeless sophistication. Perfect for the office and warm summer weather but can also be worn in other seasons. Very refreshing, clean, and forms an inoffensive scent that is absolutely amazing. And yes, it does remind you of a glass of cool, sparkling lemonade. Perfect fragrance that lasts 8 to 10hrs on my skin.

A beautiful crisp, clean, refreshing, light and energizing scent that would instantly cure a heat stroke. Dior Homme Cologne opens with a realistic, zesty, juicy, tart, lively and ixy bergamot note. Feels like a sparkling lemonade drink, after taking a sip, the temperature around you instantly drops by 5 degrees celsius. This fragrance is inspired by what Dior Homme Sport did to the original, but takes it one step further and makes it even more zesty and refreshing while removing some of the spicy qualities. Still got a little bit of the signature smooth, powdery, elegent DNA. This smells extremely similar to Chanel Allure Homme Sport Cologne. IMO the subtle differences are: DHC is less complex, more powdery, and lacks the soapy quality from neroli. I have no complaints about this fragrance besides the performance, which is kinda expected to suck for this scent profile and an EDC. You have to overspray on this one. This is a gorgeous summer scent and I think the higher the heat the more this will shine and refresh your mood.

I am a sucker for a good citrus and despite all the hype I was suspicious of, I have to admit this is a nice one. I was also skeptical due to it having 'homme' in the name it would be excessively bitter or have an underlying spice/leather/lavender/smokey. So often these citrus male-targeted scents are ruined in this way when I am craving a juicy refreshing burst. DHC was to my surprise entirely unisex (by conventional standards of course). It opens with a soft yet tangible citric pop. It's blended in such a way that the floral, green, and fruity nuances are well balanced. So often the petitgrain is dominating or the neroli. ------------ Ok, I am in the drydown now. DHC has transformed into a more pleasant Acqua Viva. Can you believe that? I was surprised. It is a very lemon-forward cologne now. I prefer the opening but who doesn't when it comes to citrus perfumes. By the way, Acqua Viva is an astronomical $275. I'd say skip all that and buy this if you are a fan of the former. If you like the opening a lot like I do, checkout John Varvatos Artisan Pure. Another hyped up citrus that lives up to the fanfare.

Good old Dior Homme Cologne. Now, I've had it before, and the original 2007 release. The original 2007 release, is basically just vintage Dior Homme made lighter and with citrus on top. It's decent, but not really a summer-y scent. The new Cologne though, is quite stunning. A fresh, simple bergamot opening, enhanced by grapefuit blossom with a musk dry down. There is zero pretense. This is a classic eau de cologne, updated for a new generation. A sort of "best of". I get hints of Acqua di Parma and other classical Eau de Colognes, but here the theme is treated with a modern sensibility. The citrus is nice and crisp, and unlike so many modern citruses, it's never harsh. The middle stage comes across as gentle. The floral aspect enhances the citrus. How this is not more popular is beyond me. Maybe it's because it's competitors are loud, vulgar scents, where as DHC is the quiet, refined companion. If you like the modern citruses, more power to you. Personally I will cherish my 125 ml bottle of Dior Homme Cologne. Longevity is quite good - 7-8 hours with moderate projection. Rating: 10/10

One of the best (if not the best) hot weather citrus fragrances ever created. I love this thing so much, even with the abysmal performance. Starts out with an explosion of fizzy citrus that, although done very well, could understandably make you 'meh, been there, smelt that' Give it 5-10 mins though ... that's when the magic happens. Once those white floral notes start to pop out and mix in with the now more mellowed out less in your face citrus, the end result is simply divine. The epitome of CLEAN and FRESH while smelling amazing all at the same time. The note breakdown might not be the longest or the most exciting, but every single note plays it's part perfectly, it is a fragrance where the sum is greater than it's parts. Only downside as I've mentioned = No projection or sillage to speak of. As in, at all. And I don't care! YOU will absolutely love the way YOU smell. I wear this for myself first and foremost, and it always delivers. Get a 200ml and go nuts with the resprays, this thing is the bomb.

If you want an uplifting fragrance suited for the Spring and Summer, DIOR Homme Cologne is built for it. Not a complicated note breakdown, bright up the top. Dries down slightly sweet and musky. True, it's very linear. Some might find it boring. I don't, in fact, I would put this in my favourite designer summer scents because it achieves something quite remarkable. It can uplift you. For me, longevity is 6-8 hours so for me, it seems it performs longer than the majority. I've got light skin, and often when people complain about low performance in some cases, it's not often the case for me. Protection is arm's length for around 1-2 hours and a nice skin scent for the rest of the fragrance. It's more of a fragrance for YOU than for others, but people can still pick up on it if in close proximity. Smell: 9/10 Versatility: 8/10 Longevity: 7.5/10 (6-8 Hours) Projection: 6/10 Sillage: 7/10 Sex: Unisex Price: 7/10

I love this fragrance. Amazing for the summer. In the opening it's a bright citrus with hints of musk and powder. Going into the mid the citrus stays strong,the musk is supporting and the powderyness also supports it. To the dry down, the citrus is still there and then the powder shines showing a half and half with the citrus and then the musk tags along. It is a wonderful blend, the powder mixed with the citrus is a exhilarating combo with a musky support. The price is steep but I got a authentic 125ml on ebay for a deal from the seller: Jocu1980. When I think of a fresh fragrance this is one that will be king in my book unless otherwise. I recommend trying it Longetivity: 86/100 lasts for about 7 hours on my shirt. Projection: 84/100 The scent: 92/100 Overall: 85/100 I also have mercedes Benz cologne and will update on a comparison between the two in the future

That brisk lemon opening puts a smile on my face every time. What a beautiful accord! It only lasts an hour at most, and then.... another charming accord unfolds. Dior's Homme Cologne settles down into a long-lasting, soft, citrus-y white musk that smells so clean and uplifting. The musk lasts a while on skin, and longer on clothes, and is a remarkable part of this fragrance. Completely safe blind buy. The fleeting but beautiful citrus opening can be forgiven by the expertly crafted and long-lasting drydown. Furthermore, this cologne achieves its character without an apparent overload of dihydromyrcenol, calone or ambroxan. There is absolutely nothing in this that would induce headaches or other averse reactions, in my opinion. Well done, Mr. Demachy! edit: cleared up some verbage. Almost a year later and I still love Dior Homme Cologne!

This is one of the most elegant fresh colognes I have. The a little bit sweet bergamot citrus opening is so pleasant and uplifting that my mood is instantly happy and good. Dior knows how to create citrus fragrances, my other favourite is Eau Sauvage EDT. But Cologne is a totally different experience. After the bergamot top the grapefruit blossom is a perfect heart and the soft musk in the base feels like a silk sheet. Performance is not bad at all but this is an almost timid gentle fragrance that surrounds you like a light fresh white cotton shirt. Lately I smelled a lot of niche freshies (MFK, Le Labo, Essential Parfums etc.), but Dior Homme Cologne is still my favourite in that line of fresh citrus flowery fragrances. The wonderful skills of Francois Demachy and his art of letting things out created this unique elegant fresh jewel.

I have spent the last several months working my way through the cologne genre and I have now arrived at Dior Homme Cologne. The high rating is completely justified in my opinion. The beauty is in its simplicity. There are few notes present and no rough edges - citrus, blossom and clean musk. It remains fresh and young while many other colognes quickly feel dated. Like many others I get 3 - 6 hours out of it but I use between 6 - 10 sprays and the longevity depends on my activity level. Of course there are plenty of colognes out there that smell very similar, it may seem like splitting hairs but when something is this simple the differences quickly become noticeable. The price to quality ratio is simply unbeatable. 10/10, if you like a minimal scent then it's blind buy worthy.

Nose Note #560 This is just what I love in mens perfumery, but it's very overpriced for what it is. The scent is very beautiful, very soft, almost unisex. It's just gorgeous. But the performance is barely average and sillage is very limited. And the most dissapointing things perhaps is that it is indeed smells a lot like Jimmy Choo Man Ice (which performs even worse though and is still not exactly cheap). So if you really like the DNA, you can substitute with Man Ice. Maybe you are looking for just that - an effervescent scent that's 100% inoffensive, not boring, very pleasant. I can't imagine how anyone would dislike this. But I imagine this must be very easy to dupe. It's a rather simple scent, just like the absence of notes suggests. 7.5/10, lovely, but too expensive

This is by far my favorite fragrance of all time. The scent is just perfect for me. The only downside to it is the performance. Yes, I know that it's a "cologne" formulation, but on most websites it is labeled as Dior Homme Cologne "EDT". With that being said, if the formulation was stronger I would buy 4 of the 6.8 ounce bottles just cause. I want to buy another bottle just to keep on hand in my car (yes i know that's a bad idea with heat and such), but it's so great that due to the performance I would want to have it on hand in order to respray at any given time. TLDR - So good that I wanna carry it everywhere and constantly ooze of this fragrance. Only downside is performance but that is overshadowed by the quality and excellence of the scent.

One of the very best openings ever!!! (side to the original Eua Sauvage) And it is quite linear, so the opening will continue very much for the entire life of the fragrance on your skin (that is not that long). This was my signature scent for a couple years when I moved to NYC. I love it! The downside: the performance is very weak, don't project much and don't last long. (and the price, considering it is so weak) So, you make a decant and bring with you to reapply every 3 hours and you are good to go! (if you are ok to spend $100+ on a bottle) Epilogue: Then I discovered a much cheaper alternative with very similar smell and quality: Jimmy Cho Ice - and now I overspray it not worrying so much about the $$$.

Positives: The best scent of any summer fragrance that I've smelled. Bar none. It's really that good. The bottle is a stunner too and the atomiser is one of the best. Negatives: It doesn't last long enough. It's quite expensive. There are cheap, reasonably similar clones for much cheaper. It's still worth having a bottle of this and I'm so glad I finally got around to buying it. But on the days I'm wearing it, I'll have to either wear a lot of it and top up in the middle of the day, or use this plus one of the clones (I currently have Zara Vibrant Leather Summer which isn't far off this and cost me £9.99... it's not quite DHC though, the clones can come close but they can't get that dry down quite right)

I agree with the other reviewer's description of the notes. As a female, I love this fragrance and it’s not too masculine at all! It quickly replaced my D&G Light Blue Intense, because it’s less astringent. You can be heavy-handed with it since it tapers off fast. That’s just the nature of colognes and citrus fragrances. I personally don’t mind reapplying or going HAM with it because I own so many bottles of perfume that I will probably never use a full bottle. That is why finishing an entire bottle or making a sizable dent in one is so satisfying. That’s not a humblebrag I’m just saying you don’t have to be afraid to use your fragrances, that’s what they are made for!

Managed to snag a 150ml bottle at a great price this week. This is heaven. Arrived today what a great way to end Tuesday after work. Dior Homme Parfum is a love of mine (I only have a decant) for winter. This is totally going to make summer great. How can you not inhale this and just crack a grin and let out a happy and appreciative sigh at the same time. Followed by deep sniffing of wherever you’ve sprayed it. Effervescent, sparkly and so refreshing. That gorgeous gauzy musky base. I would love to smell this on a guy. Instead I’ll be wearing it with a dress to work with my mainly male colleagues for the next few months 🤣😁. Backup bottle worthy.

This bloody hell abysmal under-performing weak fragrance surprisingly got me hooked when I wore it to cycling few days ago. I didn't expect anything from it, I sprayed it on me just because I love the scent. After around 3-4 hours as I started sweating quite heavily, it just blended very beautifully with my body heat. The simple musk and slight citrus in the drydown complemented so well with body chemistry and it just projects! I now realize this is a killer scent for gym/workout/exercise, it smells very "human" as you're getting wet too. Just wear it 10 sprays when it's hot and you're sweating, you'll see the magic—it works like wondrous!

Performance is weak. Let me get that out of the way. Other than that, the scent is beautiful and I really love it. I would almost describe it as a gourmand because of how delicious the sweet citrus, lemonade like, opening is. It is definitely one of the best openings in my collection. I'll often go ahead and get a whiff of the atomizer before going for a different fragrance because I love it that much. On the topic of the atomizer, it is excellent and very high quality feeling. I am looking forward to using this a lot in the summer even though I will have to respray often and presumably go through this vintage formulation very quickly.

Super simple and fresh, smells very natural, like a beautiful spring breeze. It's citrusy but also green, not as woody as most of Dior's other fragrances, but smells to me like a super clean lemon, green grass and white flowers, and soft musk. Reminds me a bit of CK One for a modern generation with way better ingredients, can be unisex, but if you're a guy people won't be like "hey you're wearing a girl's perfume". I prefer Dior Homme Sport but this is excellent and the kind of fragrance that lifts your spirits. Best for warm weather, but can be used year round as something to lightly mist after a shower or a work out. Love it!

Fantastic fragrance. Definitely my favorite summer fragrance to wear. It seems to be compared to Chanel's Allure Homme Sport Cologne. I can see the similarities, but they certainly aren't that alike. They both have that sharp citrus note, but otherwise their scent is different. AHSC has a lot of spicy notes in the backround, when DHC's only distinctable notes are bergamot and musk. I prefer DHC over AHSC due to it's simplicity. DHC's only downside is the performance, but the wonderful scent compensates it enough. Overall I give it 9/10. Go wild with this fragrance in the heat.

The scent immediately reminded me of the time I traveled to Thailand with my SO. I feel like I've smelled this a lot in hotels, markets, even in the food there - this has a very tropical vibe which I live for. ❤️ Btw, I see this being compared a lot to Chanel Allure Homme Sport Cologne (CAHSC) which I also have, but I'd say cahsc is more complex, brighter, much fuller, and more citrusy (with some spices), BUT it would probably be too much on a hot weather. DHC on the other hand, is simple and lovely, a lot easier to wear and more fitting for intense tropical heat.

Bursts out of the blocks with a bashing of bergamot that is super fresh and bright. Really smooth stuff. Eventually settles to a freshish musk after an hour or so. Sure, the longevity isn't amazing, but as a fresh scent to spray first thing in the morning before a walk or going out to brunch, it's great. Also great for 2 sprays after an evening shower in summer. Super refreshing. You'll definitely need to re-apply by lunchtime if you're wearing in the office, however be aware, the opening is super bright and will project a lot in the opening 10 minutes.

I have almost all fragance from the line "dior homme" and this is very different from all it is bright and simple bergamot on the opening (very realistic) with some with floral, after 30 minutes the bergamot doesn't fell so much potent as the beginning but became you can smell the very lovely citrusy, floral musky combination. I'll love this more if only can last longer because this become a skin scent in an hour after apply on me 😢 and last like 5-6 very close to the skin Anyway perfect for high heat summer, beach or pool day 🏊 7.5/10 for me

An act of genius. There is a crispness to this that I’ve never smelled in another fragrance. At the same time, it has reasonable performance for a “Cologne” and the bottle is gorgeous. You can get by just fine only wearing Dior Homme and flankers, and to be honest, you probably should. I always wait until I’ve purchased enough backups of a fragrance to last me forever before leaving a review. Dear reader, I own a liter of this, and intend to wear it daily every June until I die. Good enough. Scent: 10/10 Performance: 7/10 Overall: 10/10

I wrote this one off right away without trying it and boy was that a mistake! This scent is beautiful. Got a tester and sprayed it on my wrist. Within 5 min walking around I couldn't stop smelling it. Yes, a bit weak but I still love it. Definitely will pick up a bottle for my enjoyment. It matures nicely and doesn't stay super citrusy but there's still a hint of it lying around. If you love this scent, grab Jimmy Choo Man Ice for a 1/4 of the price and keep this one for the special day occasions and lunch dates with the better half.

This is white linen in Capri. It always reminded me of Jude Law in The Talented Mr Ripley. It was one of the reasons I'm obsessed with fragrances. Smelled it first in 2014 and fell in love with it and even after all these years and having smelt all sorts of expensive niche scents this is still in my top 10. When you first spray it smells like an elevated Sprite and it dries down to like a musky fresh masculine to the max level. Its unbelievably good. Luckly i have an old batch of 5 years ago I don't know if they reformulated this.

Absolutely marvelous, clean and fresh, longevity and projection is good (not beastly by any means but that,s the idea of it anyway), to those who say it is synthetic I can say that I have never smelled a more natural scent than this one, Bergamot and Grapefruıt are abundant and cheap, no need to try to synthesıze them ın the first place!! i would definitely recommend this over DG light blue, ADG, Dior Sauvage, and Bleu de chanel as a summer fragrance, so simplistic and sophisticatedş ideal for work and outdoor, thumbs up.

Dior Homme Cologne is unbelievably fresh, clean, and inviting. Wear this to give those around you the impression that you're an easy-going and upbeat person who's both sensible and stylish. Perfect for hot weather. 6-10 sprays for me on both skin and clothes, otherwise it's gone in an hour. The bergamot is fresh, dominant, and invigorating. The grapefruit blossom is subtle and wet. I get a faint thujonic cypress note in the opening, which I love--it adds to the fresh airiness of this fragrance. Recommend!

Dior Homme Cologne is a beautifully refreshing summer time fragrance. Definitely a bright citrus blast in the opening and I can understand the comparison to a fresh glass of lemonade. The lemon opening doesn't disappear much into the dry down but you add in a little musk. The performance on this is not excellent and for some people that may be an issue considering Dior fragrances aren't heavily discounted anywhere but despite that, this is really one of my favorite fragrances to wear and worth the money.

This does not belong to Dior Homme line. However, its one of the best summer fragrances for extreme heat situation. This is the type of fragrance you want to wear with t shirt when you are under the extreme summer heat. Its airy, vibrant, and refreshing. Scent is simply: bergamot and little musk. Smells like an ice cold cup of lemonade. (The color of the juice is also the same). The longevity is around 4 hours and projection is moderate which I think its perfect for the atmosphere it would be used in it.

Simply put, this is fresh lemonade in a fragrance. It's just about the most refreshing scent one could possibly wear. The performance is utter trash, maybe an hour tops of projection and 4-5hr of the musky drydown, but it's so simple and refreshing. It's perfect for an hour at the gym, a grocery run in the summer, or perhaps a car ride to the pool/beach where you expect to get wet shortly thereafter anyway (which would wash off any fragrance worn). Double sprays I can maybe get two hours out of it.

I smelled this fragrance for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and wow what a surprise. This is a masterpiece of a fragrance. When I first smelled this, I immediately thought of lemons. This smells as if someone cut the rind on a lemon and made the smell into a liquid form. I am absolutely amazed at how well they were able to capture this specific scent into the form of a fragrance. Although the longevity is very poor, I'm still debating about buying a bottle because it is truly amazing. 10/10

oh my god? i decided to get the older version on ebay and it is crazy how much better this is vs the new formulation. this is SO much more full-bodied than the new one. its almost kinda reminiscent of afternoon swim by louis vuitton but not as candied. this is an absolutely beautiful citrus scent. i hate that these companies keep reformulating and making these scents worse. same thing happened with DHI, DH edt, and DH sport. they really need to bring back eau for men too, that one was unbeatable.

The epitome of spring/summer fragrance. This fragrance is just so powerful. As it is a cologne, it has very little longevity. However it carries an insane projection albeit a short one. In the store since I do not know what bergamot smells like I thought this was an orange zest fragrance. The bergamot is so wild on this one, in a good way. This is a fragrance I will continue to buy for years to come. It is simple but so effective. It does not smell like anything else neither. Go for it, 9/10.

Perfection. This is simple without being boring. Versatile without being generic. The citrus is prominent and lasts throughout the life of the fragrance. The white musk give a soapiness to it. The grapefruit blossom gives a sophistication to the scent. For warm weather citrus, soapy, white floral is an amazing combination. This is perfect for the office. The projection is decent for a a couple hours then sits close to the skin for a few more hours. I keep a bottle at work and reapply. 10/10

Even though it's a fragrance with a lot of other (cheaper) options, I'd take this one over the "clones" any day! I've tried Mercedes Benz Cologne, Vibrant Leather Summer, and Jimmy Choo Ice and I'd still rather wear this. There's something so smooth about the composition that makes it smell citrusy-fresh without feeling TOO photorealistic. It's just so pleasant and uplifting. Can't wait for the summer here in the northeastern US so I can start rocking it in-season!

Fantastic scent. I’m not agreeing with the poor performance mentioned in some of the reviews below. I picked up a tester today and sprayed once on my arm. That was 6 hours ago and, although it’s now a skin scent, it’s still fresh. Loving the citrus, powdery vibe this gives off. Today’s been a warm spring day and this has complemented it so well. I can understand the similarities with L’Homme Sport. Especially the citrusy opening. The dry down is different with LS.

I didn't expect these amazing from the simple notes but it smells so good. The very sharp lime scent at the top note stays for a while then floral note turns to combine and smell more fresh and clean. Finally, when dried down become musky that keeps overall fresh. Even the notes are very simple but they smell longer than I thought. That makes this fragrance unlike other cheap lemon/lime perfumes from high quality of materials Simple but perfect 9/10

This, in my opinion, is the perfect classy men's fragrance for summer. I used to love Versace Pour Homme, but it's a bit sweet for my taste now. I might reach for JV Artisan Pure over this if I'm going to the beach or something casual. But for the office or even slightly dressed up summer vibe, I'm reaching for this all day. It's simple, uplifting, and clean. I have a 75ml but I'll be grabbing a 200ml next time. And the atomizer is very solid.

So so good. I just sprayed this for bedtime and it’s super comforting. In the high heat it’s my go-to. The grapefruit blossom gives it a subtle floral presence but it’s different enough from jasmine, tuberose, etc that it doesn’t remind me of womens fragrances. Somehow vibrant and fresh (bergamot) while still being comforting and relaxed (musk/floral). Simple but nuanced and very high quality, on par with quality of some niche brands imo.

When you spray, it's like you cut a fresh bergamot. It's fresh, clean, like a cool breeze when It rained under the orange tree, gives the feeling of flying in the blue sky, sense of freedom, cleanliness after bathing. I work in a humid and hot island and the heat bothers me, It helps me tolerate hot weather, like a cool glass of water. It has moderate silage and longevity. Mercedes benz cologne and jimmy choo ice are very similar to this.

The only gripes I have with this fragrance is the performance. After the first lets say hr or two its literally a skin scent but even so, I love it. The scent on this is like, an aquatic fresh lemonade thats addictive to the nose and makes you want to smell more. This one you have to spray alot off so if you get it, get the 200ml because you'd go through it but i love this and will definitely be in my summer rotation.

My all time favorite fragrance. Amazing for summer. The opening begins with a beautiful citrusy scent. Then, the bergamot and grapefuit stay with a little bit less intensity and the musc adds a wonderful scent to this. On the clothes the longevity is not as bad for a really fresh fragrance. Girls I know love it. Very beautiful perfume, perfect for summer and hot days, fresh, class and with a touch of sexiness.

Pretty damn good for a fragrance in this price range. I dont think any other designer fragrance can realy nail a soapy citrus fragrance because they all become sour and yuck in the dry-down. Think of this as a more masculine mugler cologne with sweet fruits added in. The real shame is it lasts only 3-4 hours on my skin which is disappointing to be honest. Worth every penny and definitely unisex.

I'm surprised no one suggested it smells loel Versace Man Eau Fraiche. It smells almost the same to me, I own both. Very crisp, smooth lemon. Sharp open but it rounds out and smells like a sparkling lemon to cut through the heat. Moderate sillage the first few hours then it turns into a nice skin scent. I'd prefer Versace over this because Versace performs much better, but this is still great.
