Some have noticed that the 2020 reformulation bottle feels lighter, yet I’m one of those that actually believe that the bottle looks even better now than before. Anyone over 25+ years should give DHI a try and see how it works on their skin. Strangely, the fragrance still feels unique, and not so often will you smell it on anyone else which will probably gain you a couple of unsolicited compliments and comments about how good you smell. Christian Dior Parfumsbranch was established in 1947 or 1948, and the first perfume they ever released was the popular Miss Dior. Dior Homme Intense is a 'dry' and persistent oriental. Its full, round notes are wrapped in wood to give the composition a drier character. It has a clear, unrestrained manliness about it."" - François Demachy, Dior Perfumer-Creator. Before I wrote this review, I took the time to think about if there was any other “ bigger than life” fragrance that actually fulfilled customer and fragrance enthusiasts’ expectations as DHI did.

All was good and great, and it seemed like we are entering the 2010s with high hopes of other fragrance brands doing something as creative as Dior did.I cannot tell you how much I’m happy when something creative like this gets deserved recognition while maintaining its lasting appeal.

Dior’s official blurb: “Dior Homme is worn the way you wear an elegantly sharp, modern suit. Dior Homme Intense Eau de Parfum reveals the extreme grandeur and sophistication of a generous and powerful Eau de Parfum. The olfactory intensity of Iris is enhanced by a sensual Ambery facet and precious wood base. A scented, sensual script whose trail calls to you. This DNA has been cloned here and there, with more and less success. The blend feels fresh, and if it came out today, it still would have been praised as it was in 2007, and 2011 respectively. This perfume has gone through a couple of re-releases and reformulations which were confirmed by Dior. My review is based on the legendary 2011 edition. Those in fear of potentially offending coworkers can get the regular Homme version(Dior Homme Original) since it projects less. Rarely there are, few and usually released far from each other. The pressure is even bigger when considering what I have here for you is the best and now discontinued version of Dior Homme Intense.

Today, Dior is owned by LVMHand controlled by French businessman Bernard Arnault(also a chairman of LVMH). Their wide variety of products is sold throughout retail stores worldwide, as well as through Dior online store. The fragrance lasts for 8 – 10 hours with great projection and sillage for the first couple of hours and then sits close to the skin. This is a great perfume to wear to work, clubbing, and date nights. Conclusion I am pretty sure that my fragrance would have been different if I haven’t crossed paths with DHI, and is one of the main reasons I opened my eyes to more daring and complex perfumes.
