Dior Homme Cologne 200 ml

Really Citrusy! Not just bergamot, like most! The only citrus scent that can truly be called citrusy without any association with a monastery. Unfortunately, I always needed about 20 sprays to be satisfied. My 200ml was gone quickly. After all, it is an eau de Cologne. Price/performance matters to me, so I won't buy it again. But if it didn't matter, then it would definitely be a must-have!

Dior Homme Original is an elegant, powdery iris fragrance with a slightly leathery and woody depth. Fine cocoa and musk notes add warmth, while lavender brings freshness. Stylish, classic, and masculine - a refined signature scent for special occasions.

This fragrance presents itself as a very light, fresh summer scent with clear citrus notes. The scent feels clean and invigorating - just as one hopes for a cologne in summer. However, this freshness unfortunately fades quite quickly, and after a short time, a creamy musk note develops, giving the fragrance a slightly sweet warmth that still remains paired with the citrus notes. This development, however, fits less with the fresh, masculine impression I desire from such a fragrance. Longevity and sillage are unfortunately rather weak. After about 1 hour, the scent is only perceptible up close and hardly radiates at all. Overall, it is a very light and very uncomplicated summer fragrance for men, which, as a woman, unfortunately does not really appeal to me.

Spicy, woody, resinous, fresh and slightly citrusy start. However, I don't notice a significant change in the scent. It simply becomes less fresh and loses a bit of its resinous quality. The fragrance reminds me of Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum . It has nothing in common with Dior Homme Intense (2011) or Dior Homme Parfum (2014) , except for the name and the bottle silhouette. Longevity and sillage are unfortunately weak for me. I expected much more. The "Homme" in the name is definitely justified. Masculine scent profile. Well wearable at work, or when you need to go somewhere briefly. In my opinion, not suitable for a date or when you want to stand out. Perfect for spring and autumn. Also manageable on a summer evening. Theoretically conceivable in winter, but I wouldn't wear it then. For some, it might be suitable as a daily or signature scent. The bottle is in the familiar Dior Homme silhouette. Relatively simple, but really elegant. They do this really well at Dior, I must say.

There really is nothing better after a long day at the pool or thermal bath than to apply this cologne after freshening up, as it still feels modern and not old-school despite its age (released in 2013). It has a lovely fresh DNA, but unfortunately, it doesn’t last long. Summer in a bottle :3
