A masterpiece of depth and mystery. It takes the original DNA and adds a dark, smoky twist with incense and spices. Sophisticated, long-lasting, and perfect for evening wear.

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.
