Pros & Cons

  • ✅ Pepper-cedar-iris combo with the polish you'd expect from Dior
  • ✅ Genuinely versatile — meeting room to dinner without modification
  • ✅ Long-lasting in a category where most designers cut corners
  • ✅ It doesn’t display the mind-numbing crassness of Chanel Bleu or Dior’s own Sauvage
  • ✅ An undeniably suave accent begins to make its presence felt
  • ✅ Pleasant woody and peppery scent
  • ✅ Unique all-purpose fragrance
  • ✅ Fantastic scent
  • ❌ Lost the iris signature that defined the original — fans noticed immediately
  • ❌ Heavy Iso E Super means many noses go anosmic to it after an hour
  • ❌ The ambiguities that made Olivier Polge’s composition an instant classic have been completely flattened
  • ❌ The composition settles entirely into synthetics – in the way most modern designer scents do
  • ❌ Change in formulation from original scent
  • ❌ Not as complex or warm as other Dior Homme fragrances
  • ❌ Lack of personality or authenticity
