This gorgeous fragrance is one to be considering if you are wanting something different to your usual fresh, citrus scents.
DIOR HOMME PARFUM- better than INTENSE?
zhlédnutí 10KPřed 11 měsíci
Dior Homme Parfum compared to Dior Homme Intense. Is it really that much better and is it worth searching for? Both stunning perfumes and no doubt some of the best designer fragrances available but if you have 1 should you buy the other. My search for Dior Homme Parfum whilst in Paris recently.

Best Value Niche Fragrance 2022! Essential Parfums- Bois Imperial
Evrry single fragrance in the Encre Noire line is absolutely phenomenal quality! They are not for everyone: dark, smokey, earthy, very manly. I would describe them all as walking through a dense forest at dusk with smoke wafting in over the horizon, they fork off in different directions: while the original stays there, the Ala Extreme is denser and woodier with a slight underlying sweetness, the sport adds some citrus notes and light sea notes and I find it to be the least challenging of the three. I believe all three can work in warmer months as well, they never become cloying, but I do think the OG and Extreme make more sense in the cooler months.
Same. It doesn’t last even 2 hours
Nice review! i’ve had my eye on this the last few days and this just gives me even more reasons to buy. I’ve been on a tropical scent hunt lately.
Cheers man👍 I actually only just got a full bottle of this last week and it is even better than I remember it to be. So good!
Love this shit.
My go to for years has been Lalique Lion Pour Homme. That is superb. So figured I would try this too. I think its superb, certainly projects well, and i think it has more than decent silage tbh. I still prefer Lion but Encre Noir A L'Extreme is right up there for a quality manly fragrance. Superb value for money too given what your actually getting!
🙏🏻🌹
Dior Homme doesn't last on skin but it last on clothes.
Smells like Pencil Sharpenings.
One of my favorites, and a compliment getter. Strong performer, but not overwhelming. Very versitile indeed, and can be worn anytime, except on days with very hot temperatures.
Great review, Im so so glad that I picked up Kayaan Classic. It really solves all the performance issues and smells basically indistinguible!
Really? Is it the same quality ? Does it smell refined? Usually clones smell a bit harsh...
Does it project more if you spray it closer and make a more concentrated spot or if you spray from like 5 inches away ?
The worst perfume there is on the market
Closed me eyes: it appears to me that Russel Brandt is reviewing fragrances e
Hello bro. May I know the formula code printed on the box? Current batches have the code "18048".
where to buy?
Price???
I do hope you’ll upload more soon 😋
This frag smells like money . I love the opening !
Smells fantastic but it's kinder short in longevity
Probably you go nose blind or its a matter of skin chemistry. The New bottles of DHI last just as long as the older ones. It's not the loudest fragrance but that's because its an elegant scent that is supposed to be discovered and not presented loudly
@@christsoug8533 I love it so much😛
Fk that I wear fragrance because I love it and especially because people will compliment it.
What year is your bottle from?
Dior homme parfum is thicker, stronger and one dimensional. In my opinion DHI is superior and still the best of the line.
I generally go with niches like 3-5 and designer 5-10 but depends on what niche and what designer and how hot or cold it is generally it's 3-5 on niche fragrances because they tend to be stronger and 5-10 maybe even more and on some less.
I've had the same experience with this one also. Funny thing is people shit on D&G The One EDP's performance but I get eight hours with that one.
in some county its unethical if you wear an atomic bomb performing parfum
you can absolutely tell a persons history from the way they describe a Parfum... so if a person starts telling you a certain Parfum like Infusion d'Iris from Prada smells like a Transvestite hooker, its clear they must have dated a trans hooker...

you are very funny... wahahahahahahahhaah
Smells nothing like DHI to me. Its so much richer and deeper.
I’m glad I found your video. I’ve only been able to find the Dior Homme Intense, so I bought it anyway. Glad to know the difference is negligible. Thanks much. Hopefully it will last longer on my skin.
The thing is that some people think overspray is 10 sprays +. Honestly I get away with 5 sprays of le mâle élixir
can I ask where in London you found this? I am intrigued by the brand but can't often find them - would love to go give them a try!
Very well said
Thanks bro 👍
Dior 2020 edt >
I just bought the parfum when it came into stock, a blind buy for me, and it's just not my thing. I'm going to try Reddit to sell the full bottle since I can't see myself wearing it instead of other fragrances I have
I noticed the same on mine i just got..3 hours sadly and its gone..i had seen so many reviews sayin amazing 10 hrs plus perfomance, how dissapointing
I’ll take the bottle off your hands if you guys aren’t wearing it 😃
Great commentary, appreciate your honesty
Cheers bro 👍
i want this thing but the closest thing i can compare it to is ombre leather by tom ford shich i really liked when i smelt it its very wearable acctualy so is it more mature or more youthful that ombre leather? thanks
This is a lot more mature than Ombre Leather. I feel OL is a lot easier to wear and has a nice touch of sweetness that also makes it more likeable overall. Encre Noir is somewhat of an acquired taste and although a lot of people like it, OL is a safer bet and if I had to pick between the two I would pick OL
Nice 👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks bro 👍
I think I wanna go with 2011
It literally smells like the heat from a iron with a hint of mango 🥭 the projection & longevity is a close up on one
I need something that projects & last like Bogart SS Intense, but that doesn't smell like a women's grapes? Now you're saying this doesn't last or project like the other reviewers say.
DHP not performing? Ask people around you instead of relying on your own sense.
DHP will definitely remind you of DHI, but they are not the same.
Very true
If we’re talking about tropical scents, please try 2654 by City Rhythm. It smells amazing, it mixes tropical and summer all in one
Sounds great! I’ll take a look 👍
2020 batch and 2022 batch here. Having zero issues w/ performance. 8+ hours on me with 5 sprays, if anything my newer bottle smells closer to the OG (not as woody, a bit sweeter/powdery) but we’re talking extremely subtle differences. My gf smells it heavily on me within 4-5 feet away for 4-5 hours after I spray. If I spray on my hand I can smell it for 9-10 hours on skin. With Dior I never have a problem with performance/consistency like others occasionally seem to have.
Do you smell the coco powder or something chocolaty?
@@TheWowChannel1234 I do, but it’s more of a supporting note and you don’t feel it much until the dry down. Blends amazingly well with the iris after a while though. My impression is it’s dominated by the cedar early on. Cacao is more apparent in Dior homme original, but is much lighter overall in comparison to DHI.
And foes the newer batch last pretty long and hows the newers batch projection ? I would like to buy it for everyday use but ive heard bad things about the performance
@@TheWowChannel1234 it’s a banger. I would not worry about it. People worry way too much about longevity (it might not be a nuke like the OG was) but this is a good projector and performer. You and everyone else should be more concerned about if you like the scent or not. If you want to choke people out with it just spray more. If you’re that concerned about it just decant it in travel bottles.
The scent is vip-top 🍂🍁🌲🌿🌘
I use all three of them as a varying signature scent depending on the season/weather, while rotating all of my other niche and expensive designer fragrances around them. The quality is unbeatable for the price. It probably won’t appeal to most people new to the fragrance game, or the blue fragrance lovers. It’s a masterpiece to me but I wear fragrances like Mancera Red Tobacco and Zaharoff Leather Tabac.
The cypress in the original made me ill after 4 hours. The vetiver and other notes all disappear on my skin and I'm left with pine-sol smelling cypress in unbearable amounts! I bought this "a L'Extreme" version and its no better. Tried layering them with other fragrances...no joy. Finally packed the two of them up and stowed them in the closet. They're unbearable.
