Dior Homme

Dior Homme by Dior is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2005 in the designer price tier. It opens with lavender, bergamot and sage, moves into iris, cocoa and amber and dries down to patchouli, vetiver and leather. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Sage Dry, herbal and slightly bitter. Adds a grown-up, aromatic edge.

Heart

Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
Cocoa Dry, dusty chocolate. Bitter rather than sweet.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.

Dry-down

Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
