Dune Pour Homme

i dont know if it has any sense wearing fragrances during the covid19 era, with masks it's very hard to smell anything...other than that, let's talk about fragrances. dune and higher are the most underrated dior edt. higher is more easygoing, dune is more sosphisticated yet casual. dior dune has a very evocative smell, it really reminds a walk on sands, an oasis in the middle of desert. the combo of the fig, the main note of the juice, vetiver, cedar, rose and oakmoss(listed in the ingredients on the box) gives a natural, sunny and refreshing vibe. it's a bit unique but not hard to wear, maybe a youngster can find it too mature but the quality of the juice is clear. the cons of the fragrance are the cost and the performance.i found it for a good price because dune it's not a blockbuster in the fragrance game. i love this scent but the price is too high for what u get. the scent is great but this is not a super masterpiece, not an m7 or versace versus uomo. someone says it's discontinued, i dont know if it's true and im sad about that but i will not smash my head on the wall. the performance is not so good, decent longevity but poor sillage(my bottle is from 2008). i also prefer two fig based fragrances on this: ferragamo pour homme, a mood booster with better longevity, and davidoff good life, richer, denser with a great performance. overall, i love dior dune, comparing to the current offering is something that gives to you another prespective. shame about the poor performance. dior dune è davvero un bel profumo, fresco, erbaceo con un odore che evoca una passeggiata nel deserto, non distante da un'oasi. se non vi piace la nota di fico evitate. se avesse avuto una performance migliore dune avrebbe un'altra considerazione. scent-8,5 long-6,5 sillage-5,5 uniqueness-8 bottle design-6 versatility-8 compliment factor-6,5(it would be higher with a better performance) rebuy?yes my vote-8 in one word- oasis alternative- davidoff good life

I gifted this to my husband a few days ago. He needed a new summer scent, and was going to pick up a cheapie or a body spray just to get through the summer months. I felt he deserved something very nice, and very special, so based on reviews, and that Dior and Dune are classic and revered, I went with Dune. No, it is not the usual watery sweet so called aquatic. Not generic in the least. Very classy, casual, natural. Comes off a tad sweet initially, but not so much so. A bit of herb, spice, mixed with dry floral and fruit, woody , clean sand and sunshine fresh. Fresh without added citrus or minty mint... must be the sage and basil . It does not scream Green however. It is blended exceptionally well. On him, it`s masculine and sexy, but not overwhelming in any way. I want to forever lean in to experience. It is a complement even to his physical appearance - golden brown (I call him my Butterscotch) skin tone, clean shaven head and face, a broad, strong, and mature man. He will not smell as a teen, a very young man, or of a common, redone, overdone scent. I cannot think of anyone I have encountered lately wearing a similar scent, so this will be associated only with him. I think this will go over well for him during the muggy humid Michigan summer since it gives off an arid sandy dryness. He has taken a liking to outdoor activities, and I believe this is perfect for being outside, and also for any event summertime might bring. Sillage is 6/10 Longevity so far about 10+ hours

Dior Dune carries you on the wings of the wind Dior Dune is a special creation in the world of perfumery. It seems that it does not find its place in these times, although it shines like a star and radiates the peace that we all want most of the time. It is a butterfly carried on the wings of the wind, ephemeral but strong in the feelings that its offer you in full. A romantic air if you want ... The first meeting with Dior Dune was in a perfumery, sitting somewhere on the bottom shelf. It did not attract attention in any way, nor did it demand attention. However, being a fan of Dior creations, I said to try it, to give it a try. And I did well. It was enough to spray once to realize that I am facing an extraordinary creation. The fig, the cedar wood and the sandalwood join hands and make from my point of view the most calm, silent and contemplative perfume. Although it is not a floral creation, its breezes give you the feeling that you inspire an air similar to that of a freshly flowering trees. Once again, it is in no way floral or indolic, its green, airy and slightly sweet. The performance of the perfume is above average, although it does not shout. A masculine fragrance without a doubt, subtle that inspires good taste, confidence and understanding. Worn in a white shirt, it makes you feel light, like a leaf blown by the spring wind. A return to time, which expires the joy of the '90s.

I remember that this fragrance was simply perfect about 9-13 years ago; it had excellent sillage, monstrous longevity, and ridiculous projection! Dune Pour Homme was a one-of-a-kind fragrance because, in addition to the aforementioned qualities, it was versatile, elegant, timeless, and very unique (certainly, the original formulas of Dune Pour Homme and Kouros are the best fragrances that I've smelled in my life). Nothing ever smelled like this masterpiece by Messrs. Olivier Cresp and Jean-Pierre Béthouart; no words are enough to describe the undisputed quality this olfactory elixir once possessed...you would never get tired of this scent; it was that great! Unfortunately, reformulation is the worst perfume archenemy, which shows that manufacturers embrace mass-produced stuff sales, with no care for the customers' satisfaction; the current version of Dune Pour Homme smells good the first few minutes, but then it fades away, giving the impression of being, at best, a sad shadow of its predecessor. My score for the original formula: Fragrance: 100/10 Durability: 100/10 Projection: 100/10 Versatility: 100/10 Quality: 100/10 Average: 100/10

I recently purchased a 2001 vintage bottle of the "Christian Dior" era's final run. Some of the pre 2002 bottles are stupid high on Ebay, but if you're patient, you can find a seller who will cut you a good deal. If you hate fig, the smell of pulling weeds on a humid Summer afternoon, or just anything near the Equator that can put off a musky smell due of the heat, don't bother. Dune is a unique ride for a warmer weather release that's more reserved for an adventurous 40 something dude who's looking to arm himself in a scent cloud of self gratification and confidence, mixed with a little bohemianism. I don't think I could responsibly recommend it as a blind buy without trying it first...especially if you're a guy under 35, with preconceived notions of beach balls and southern California in a bottle. If that's the case, you could be a quite disappointed, although IMO, I think most will really like this under appreciated, late 90's offering by Dior. Dune PH would be the perfect scent to lose your training wheels to in the summer months. That said, don't think "Good Vibrations"; think "A Horse With No Name".
