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.” Notes and Classification

Ambrette Seed is a noble ingredient in the palette. Hibiscus fruit seeds are distilled to obtain an ambrette ""butter"". The fatty acids are then washed away, leaving only a purified essence. Its musky and slightly fruity accents, between Pear Liqueur and Silk Talc, feature in Dior Homme Intense.Dior Homme Intense is a floral oriental fragrance for men, released in 2011. The creator behind DHI is former Dior in-house perfumer Francois Demachy. The cap is made of heavy plastic and has been improved with the 2020 edition, and the fragrance name is written inside the cap.

Dior Homme Cologne – a citrus musk fragrance released in 2013. The main notes include Bergamot, Grapefruit blossom, and Musk. The lasting power is 4 – 6 hours with moderate projection. Dior Homme Original – a floral woody fragrance released in 2020. The main notes include Iris, Cardamom, and Vetiver. The lasting power is 4 – 6 hours with moderate projection. One thing I wish it stayed longer would be the iris. By the time the fragrance reaches the dry down, the floral aspects are gone and don’t get me wrong the dry down remains great, but it would have been nice if that floral edginess stayed during the whole wake of the scent.The differences between the two are small but noticeable to anyone who has tried older formulations before. The latest 2020 version smells airier, and fresh, and touches aromatic herbal notes but keeps the iris as the main tasting note. The color of the perfume of the 2020 edition is slightly more transparent and lighter than before. The same goes for the whole Dior Homme line with which Intense shares the same shape with slight variations in color and other minor details. If you ask me, I like that we are finally seeing a shift in change from blue scents to more woody and musky creations such as Hermes H24. That note is none other than pear. Pears’ flavor ranges from tangy to sweet, and buttery. The genius move from Demachy to include this show-stealing fruit is probably the sole reason why DHI is more popular than any other Dior Homme fragrance.

Dior Homme Intense is the quintessence of prestige and sophistication in a woody ambery Eau de Parfum, between strength, singularity and confident sensuality. From everything in the Dior Homme line, I have received the most compliments for Dior Homme 2020(the no iris version), and for Dior Homme Parfum. Late in 2014, it was time to start talking to my wife about which Givenchy I wanted for Christmas. I had also been using Givenchy Pi Neo. I really don't consider myself a very distinguished or even worldly person, so the Pi and Pi Neo had been enough for me. No one ever complained about either and both still brought compliments, but honestly, my nose was getting tired of them. I could remember my dad wearing Dior colognes before he passed away. Based on my memory and samples, he was wearing Eau Sauvage. I was now ready to move forward in my own fragrance timeline. The Givenchy smelled a little younger than I am. Honestly this stuff is just smooth, calm, uplifting, commanding, masculine and feminine, sexy.. just, wow. I have maybe 20 different fragrances from cheapies like Nautica Voyage to pricier ones such as CH Men and YSLs La nuit de l'homme, and out of all of these, this has to be one of my new found favorites. (I will always love CH Men though, that stuff is amazing) Oriental and powdery fragrances shine the most in fall and winter. Although it is mainly a clubbing and romantic perfume, Dior Homme Intense also works great in the workspace.

Eau Sauvage, Fahrenheit, Dior Homme, and Sauvagehave been the major players and trend shifters in men’s perfumery, and are all still available on the market.

This crowd-pleaser has remained popular since its introduction. Its bold presence and classic sophistication make the beloved cologne a fitting choice for any fashionable gentleman who enjoys the finer things in life. Moreover, it sports an enticing, musky aroma that will make you feel composed and dignified at any formal or social event. 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.Launched in 2007, Dior Homme Intense Eau de Parfum is a beautiful combination of scents developed by the famous French company. Combining woody and floral scents, it brings an intense and sensual touch through a soft and pleasant trail that lasts a long time. Dior Homme Intense EDP:3 Scents, One Result Perfume helps embellish the skin, but it’s not an accessory; it’s something entirely different, it’s very profound. FRANCOIS DEMACHY
