Camaro Homme Intense

I’ve owned Dior Homme Intense (DHI) and loved everything about it—except the price. With CHI, you get that solid DHI DNA without the hefty price tag. What do you smell? You’re greeted with a powdery, floral, and dark earthy scent that’s truly intoxicating. After the opening, a lovely woody note emerges with an almost boozy sweetness. There’s also that familiar makeup-like, powdery nuance, but it doesn’t come across as overly feminine to me—it feels calming and almost meditative. While I understand there are no boozy notes listed, that’s definitely what my nose picks up. Altogether, it smells well-blended and elegant. Who’s it for? In my opinion, this suits anyone 25 and up. On someone younger, it might come off as mismatched—like they just got a hug from grandpa or rummaged through grandma’s purse. Time of year? Wearable anytime except for a hot summer day. It shines in cooler or transitional weather because it feels refined and special—too heavy for summer heat. Longevity: I get about 6–8 hours of performance, with the sweet floral notes lasting the full duration. I typically use 3–4 sprays, with one or two on clothing, and that’s plenty. Projection: I’m not huge on projection, but this one definitely leaves a scent trail. If someone walks by, they’ll notice it. I find 2–3 sprays ideal—it’s inviting without being loud. This isn’t a clubbing fragrance; it’s meant for more intimate, elegant settings. Final Thoughts: This scent isn’t quite as magical as DHI, but it’s one of the closest alternatives you’ll find under $30—about 90% similar, I’d say. For me, it’s a solid 9/10. CHI reminds me of a Frank Sinatra tune—distinct, smooth, and timeless, taking you on a complex yet comforting journey.

I forgot I had this one, I picked him up a couple of years ago when I was busy flirting with every Dior Homme dupe I could find. Every Dior Homme dupe I found, I really enjoy, including this one. I love this one very much, he's name because we had a Camaro car years ago, I love his scent because it's my favourite Iris dna, Dior Homme DNA is gorgeous. Lipsticky sweet iris, so beautiful. I tend to wear the Riffs Homme one more, even though I love the OG, dark door and camaro just as much, only because it's easier for me to get but I adore this perfume and would never part with him for nostalgia reasons. A+ 🥰 Sometimes I layer them all on at once 🎉😍 I'm a female and I can vouch Dior Homme and all his brothers are gorgeous scent women should try if you love a sweet powdery iris.

I fell in love with this fragrance when I first got a sniff of it. Being that I never smelled the older formulations of Dior Homme Intense I had no idea what it would smell like initially. Low and behold I was able to sample it and had to buy it. The iris comes through beautifully and the vanilla is not too overpowering. A perfect night time / date time fragrance so long as you don't go too heavy on the sprays. I still plan on getting DHI 2007 or 2011 when I can find it, but for now this does me just fine. Superb pickup!

Finally, DHI intense has been my favourite evening/professional/date night fragrance for nearly 20 years. When this was made, there was not as much competition from the main designer houses let alone the amazing Arabic/Middle Eastern/clone houses. This is insanely good, I have all iterations of this fragrance. And the quality level here is supreme. For anybody searching for the really early heavy lipstick vibe, this is the one. Just ignore the reviewers that suggest anything else.

Okay I was honestly looking for Maison Alhambra Dark Door, but couldn't find it at a respectful price. So I turned my attention towards it's closest competitor, which is Camaro Homme Intense. Oh I'm I glad I grabbed this one instead the performance is so darn amazing, I've only had mine for a week now and, it comes ready no masteration is needed. This iris is captivating, the lavender keeps this so interesting and you gonna be sniffing yourself like yeah that's nice.

I have had this for a good 6-8 months now, and let me tell you, this stuff keeps getting better with time. The initial juice was nothing impressive, barely any sillage. Now? This stuff stays on my skin for more than 24 hours even after showering, the sillage is so much better, and the fragrance blend is simply amazing. Nothing as beautiful as this in my collection for a chilly night that demands me well dressed

#FR_Log5 - Blind buy rating : 10/10. I do not want to write any review , get kayaan classic or anything else so i can gatekeep this. Whosoever is reading, this is a no brainer i got 2024 april batch and it is bomb absolutely unbelievable i got it for shillings. Let's keep this one always a secret at least noob reviewers in my country say this is trash lol , helping me gatekeep :P

The scent is amazing, pretty close to Dior Homme (2011). Unfortunately, the performance is weak. It also becomes overwhelming if you overspray, potentially causing headaches or even a sense of derealization. While the fragrance itself is impressive, the materials don't seem to be of the highest quality, and that becomes noticeable when you wear it heavily.

I like this stuff a lot. on opening it has a piney sharpness to it combined with the smooth makeup bag type smell. vanillic as well. The result feels refined and gentlemanly, gives me a great feeling to wear. Unique colder weather banger and a great addition to my collection. Is it fun to drench yourself in: Yes

So good... 🤩 DHI 2007 for only 25 euro's... Longevity is longer than my real DHI 2011-bottle, and the iris is projecting really wonderful and classy. Paris Corner did an excellent job with this one 🥇

i have this and kayaan classic, both are amazing.The differences are this is much less powdery than kayaan classic,kind of same performance both very good.for the price its a steal

I have a 2011 DHI, camaro smells close yes but the iris is waxy not lipsticky and it doesnt smell as classy for the price worth it though, 7.5/10 (best dupe is kayaan classic)

Creamy, powdery, airy iris-vanilla/cacao smooth criminals. U might get noseblind when u smell on ur skin but this frag disperse on air nicely and leave a nice scent trail

Similar to DHI but a bit less powdery, let’s say that DHI is 1080p, camaro is 360p. performance is mid but I’ll update after maceration 8.2/10

I have this and dark door intense. I prefer dark door intense but this is still fantastic and I think this may be a bit stronger. 9/10.

The parfume smells pretty good scentwise. The longevity is a little weak, it surely needs to macerate. For 15 euros it is perfect.

for the price its unbelievable, best dupe i got it for 13euro ,no way it smells like dior homme intense.Brillant

I had a few DHI clones and once I received this I sold all of the others. This one is THE best hands down.

More of cedar notes on me. The scent is there after awhile. This was a blind buy. Am good👍

If DHI 2011 were released in 2025, it would probably smell like Camaro Homme Intense.

This is such a steal for the 20€ I paid. Absolutely amazing

a 10 out of 10 banger all day. that's all i have to say!

What a great clone of DHI , 10/10

Just receive it today I noticed that the packaging of this looks a bit different compared to older versions: The ® (registered trademark) symbol is no longer printed next to the logo. Does anyone has the same as mine ? Batch code: 90166 MFG: 01/2025 EXP: 01/2030

The 4.6 rating for this is absolutely insane. It smells nothing like DHI, just some woody rose.

Found this one quite repulsive. The opening is overwhelmingly sweet, with an intense dose of synthetic vanilla and dense musk. As it dries down, a thick woody base adds to the heaviness. There’s so much vanilla, it’s hard to believe this is meant as a man’s perfume. Feels more like a sticky, winter gourmand than something masculine or versatile. Definitely not for those who prefer fresh, clean, or balanced scents

To everyone who thinks it smells like og. the iris note here is so synthetic and unpleasant. you need to have both first and you will discover the difference. To me it is one of the worst DHI clones i ever smelled.

4.6 on rating? Now come on guys, don't ruin Fragrantica by these overhyped ratings. IMO it’s one of the worst DHI clones out there, so don’t be fooled by that high rating.

I have never tried the OG, but I really dislike this one. The opening is a heavy smell of a makeup bag, and in the drydown, it smells like a lady in her mid to late 50s, with weak projection. It is not masculine at all. I like iris, but I can't stand how it is done in this fragrance. Admins should look into these reviews and ratings. This is shameful.

Pathetically weak. Batch variance I guess, I can see any claims the longevity and silage is good. I a writing after 8 months of experiencing it. And of-course not going nose blind.

This smells amazing! Is it 1 to 1 with the OG, no. Is it gorgeous and worth its price, ABSOLUTELY. And the more patience you have the better your experience with this fragrance will be. ALL MIDDLE EASTERN FRAGRANCES NEED TIME TO MATURE. Judging one before its matured is a sure way to lose out. One year on the shelf and this thing is coming out of the atomizer swinging!! There’s lavender, pear, iris and vetiver really shine for me. The lavender is vibrant. The pear is soft, fruity and alluring. The iris is definitely lipsticky but not overly so—on my skin it’s beautiful. The vetiver is earthy and light. The ambrette definitely adds sweet, nutty, musky quality. There’s a leathery nuance to this as well. All in all, this one is a a banger for me! For the price, it’s an amazing value.

The lipstick iris note is accurate. But you can say this is cheap fragnance and a shallow version of Dior Homme Intense or Valentino Uomo Intense after a few minutes. Of course, it's actually cheap. But if you're looking for an useable alternative of original, try another dupes. Performance is also mid - not like many dupes out there.

I believe they rebottle and rename this as Club Intense Homme, right? It’s by Pendora Scents as well. I own that one but not this. I’ve never tried Camaro HI, so I can’t really tell if there are any differences or if it’s basically the same, just with a new bottle and name.

I don't recommend it, it's very bad, longevity and projection are non-existent. very bad and smells like dior homme intense, there are similarities, but you can't compare about 60%, if you can get this perfume for €10-20, then yes...

Could anyone review or compare "Club Intense" (also a DHI inspired) which is also from Pendora Scents? It's not listed on Fragrantica yet but I'm seeing it online very cheap and wondering which one to go for.

Very good scent. Reminiscent of Dior Homme Intense. I would describe this a tad more masculine and a little more wearable for a mature guy. Leather note is not very prominent but adds a nice twist.

feels flat and one dimensional when compared to the original, but the iris note is pretty spot on to the DHI makeup-y iris.and for 1/5 of the price of the dior it is very much worth it

This is my 3rd bottle I've ordered. I plan to order another 1 soon.. it's beautiful, and to me better than Kayaan Classic. If you find it, get it, get 2 or 3..

This is so good!! Don't listen to any of the negative reviews, I guarantee compliments are coming your way,

Does it have the smell of shoe shine or it's just me tripping?

@Mrkevdjones Maison Alhambra dark door is garbage

As good as dhi? No, good for the price? Oh yea
