The scent might also be related to the area where I sprayed it. It wouldn’t be wrong to say it has a smell that burns the back of my throat. Its projection and longevity are definitely strong — no doubt about that — but it’s not a “wow” fragrance. I probably wouldn’t buy it again.

Dior Homme Parfum is a very high-quality smelling fragrance and it’s long-lasting, but I haven’t received any compliments from people around me regarding its projection. I guess what I smell and what others perceive aren’t the same. I also have Dior Homme Intense 2025, and this has nothing to do with that — this feels like a completely redesigned fragrance. That said, I wouldn’t say I’m in love with either of them. The formulations are well above average, but they don’t seem to be for me.

Those who remember the old Istanbul will understand me well. Imagine this: a classic men’s barbershop shave, dressed sharp as a razor, walking down Istiklal Avenue at dusk — and a captivating, beautiful scent spreading around you with quiet confidence. That’s **Gucci Guilty Elixir de Parfum pour Homme**. In fact, just three days after buying my first bottle, I went back and bought a backup. I’ve worn it a lot since then. Yet, despite how much I enjoy it, I still haven’t received the level of compliments I expected in terms of projection and performance.
