Christian Dior Dior Homme Intense Eau de Parfum Spray for Men, 1.7 Ounce

You ever notice when you write a spontaneous review then try to write a serious one, the serious one never turns out as good? I wrote a review for Givenchy Pi many years ago here on Amazon. It was one of my commented on reviews. As it had a unique story with it about how I came about finding Givenchy Pi and how finding it ended up causing a major change in my life. I'd like to tell a similar story with this cologne, but really don't think I can top the Givenchy story. 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. So, I went to nearly every decant website I could find and ordered a bunch of samples, upwards of 20 different ones to start with. I told my wife, the ex-fragrance counter worker, "I really believe the Dior Homme Intense will be the one." I hadn't smelled it at that point. All of these 20 samples came at the same time. I was on a two week vacation from work and would put one on for 3-4 hours, wash it off, try another for 3-4 hours. The list of samples is expansive, everything from other classics like Chanel Allure Homme (also love it) to the A* Man line I hadn't heard of. After trying the first batch of samples, it was clear to me and everyone in my family. The Dior Homme Intense was the one. My wife says it fits my personality as a laid-black, preferring classic to hip, type of man. My analytical mind wasn't satisfied and ordered another near 20 samples. I had spent enough on samples to buy this bottle I'm reviewing. A few stood out, but none compared to the Dior Homme Intense on me. Kind of surprisingly, my next two picks were also Dior (regular Homme and Dune), Guerlain made a little noise as did Chanel, but I ended up buying this 5.0 ounce bottle here at Amazon. My bottle came with the Christian Dior sticker seal, the plastic was firmly in place and the serial codes were still intact. I sprayed it on as soon as I got it and can tell you it's authentic. I did order from Amazon, not a seller. One spray lasted nearly 10 hours on my skin. While I know this isn't as entertaining as my somewhat funny Givenchy review, I can tell you I now have a favorite cologne to replace Givenchy. This scent isn't overbearing unless you use too much. I have tried two sprays, but typically only use 1. You could probably get away with 2, but I wouldn't dare use more than 2. Despite it being a lighter scent, it does seem to get thicker and heavier with more than 1 squirt. Never cloying though. On a side note, I did also buy a bottle of Chanel Allure Homme, Dior's Eau Sauvage Extreme and Dior's Dune. With these four, I can offset the extreme seasonal weather I live and work in and with the smallest bottle being a 3.4 ounce, I should have enough for several years. My wife was so impressed with it she ordered herself samples of Dior's women's perfumes and I bought her a bottle of the Dior Addict, which is what looks like what I'm becoming. I don't have a trained nose like a lot of people, but this is what I smell in this cologne: Iris, seems to be an even dominant note. It's worth mentioning if you smell a trace of "cardboard" or "paper" it will wear off in 10-15 minutes. It then warms into a iris-vanilla-something clean and sophisticated rolled into one. Now, I would recommend it as highly as possible, but if you're like me, you need nearly 40 samples to tell you which you like best. I did feel like I had wasted some money on samples, but realized our son who is 10, loves spraying cologne on. So he got a whole box of cologne samples to spray on. Should also be mentioned all of the samples still had 3-5 sprays in them except the Dior ones. I will recommend it for office wear as long as you only use 1 spray. Definitely would recommend it for your night out cologne with your wife or girlfriend. It definitely pushes buttons with women. It gives you that scent that makes women say, "Don't let me go yet". I wouldn't lead you all wrong on this. I take my cologne experiences very seriously. The one group I wouldn't recommend it to would be teenagers, maybe even early 20s, it's not a playful cologne at all. It's more of a lets get down to business cologne. I tip my hat to the people at Dior for this fragrance. It's one of those colognes you can make your own instead of your cologne making you.

Love this stuff. Smells great.

Wowow! How do I even explain how good this fragrance is? If you've found DHI on Amazon after reading the fanatical reviews on fragrantica and basenotes, you already know how the fragrance community loves this stuff. The batch I got (received 1/22/2016 from seller Amazon.com) was made in may of 2015. So this stuff hasnt been sitting around on a shelf for long. It is genuine stuff, sealed in all of its packaging. The actual product itself though, what is it like? Honestly, the scent is like no other mens fragrance i've smelled before. The first reaction I got was that it really does smell like a girlfriends makeup product, or like her handbag with different cosmetics piled in. This is just what iris smells like, and as you become familiar with it on your skin, it really grows on you. It isnt as feminine as it sounds, as there are some masculine notes that demand attention. Notably, the woodsy and subtle vetiver notes. It has a cocoa vibe, but it's not like a chocolate bar would smell like. It's also not like a putrid cuba prestige or A Men smell (not a fan of those coca-cola scents, they make me retch). Its just a slightly sweet, not gourmondy, cocoa vibe. Difficult to explain.. 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) I will say, it is dangerous to use in the office without getting to be a little cloying, so go easy on the trigger. 1 or 2 sprays, I'm not even kidding. It is a projection BEAST, and it lasts the longest out of my entire collection. They really don't make fragrances like this anymore. The price tag may be daunting, but you owe it to yourself to get a fragrance that is this good. This 5 fl oz bottle will last you a VERY long time, given how few sprays it takes to give you a huge scent aura. A + +

My father use to wear dior back in the 90s/2000s i always loved the scent of it, when he passed i got some of his stuff didn't realize this was the smell i remember, so i bought the intense version very powdery floral non traditional "man" Buuuuuuut... it has a fantastic strength and last all day it's my favorite i have to try to NOT wear it all the time so i switch between a few of diors products Value? well that's up to you does smelling good have a price limit or not. for me? worth it.

It was a Blind purchase because Homme Intense is not officially available in USA yet. Considered Dior Sauvage EDP after testing at first, but it was too decadent sexy for a slender Asian mid-aged like me. So I gave a try Dior Homme Intense, by reading good reviews. Sophisticated and rich smell indeed. Subtle vanilla note on drydown. However, very lipstick-like powdery bomb on top note was not my favorite. Also unlike its information about long lasting and good projection, somehow this does not go well with my skin. Only less than 2~3 hours lasted (with average 5 sprays), and people barely noticed my fragrance. It is quite a disappointing longevity as I don't sweat at all. Still I like its elegant bottle design, Dior quality with OK price, and a rich base note. Note: I've received a newer batch that Dior letters located in the lid instead of the bottom of the glass bottle like older batches. May the formulation have been changed.

hmmm expensive, not quite sure about 'notes' or specific scents but this is kind of flowery to me and maybe more like perfume. It seems ok and it definitely seems potent enough to last all day. Edit: the next day applying it, I really like it. It makes its presence known.

Me encantó el aroma, tal vez no es para todos necesita gustarte el iris ya que es una nota predominante

El olor especial que tiene

Bien empaquetado, original.

روعة جميل جدا أمتلك البارفان من ديور و التواليت و السبورت حسب رأيي الشخصي الانتنس هذا أفضلهم يليه التواليت والسبورت لا يختلف عن التواليت الا بنسبه بسيطة لا تذكر والبارفام ثقيل جدا ممتاز للحفلات والمناسبات لكن يحتاج إلى أجواء قارسة البرودة وصلت الطلبية أصلية ورائحة تفوح وتدوم ، لكن دائما الجمال لا يكتمل ، الاتومايزر ( البخاخ ) يرشح منه العطر ، مافي طريقة لتبديل السلعة ، ولا أريد إرجاعها أخذتها بسعر مع موسم التخفيضات بسعر لا يصدق ، لو كان فيه تبديل لفعلت

Ürün Arcon kozmetike etiketli geldi. Jelatininden tutun, kutusundan tutun, şişesinden tutun kokuya kadar her şey mağaza ürünleriyle aynı. Kesinlikle orijinal ürün. Kokusu çok değişik ve çekici. ruj ve çikolata gibi kokuyor. elime 2021 Kasım üretimi ürün geldi. keşke 2019 veya öncesi ürün gelseydi eski şişe tasarımını beğeniyorum ben. Kalıcılık iyi fakat Dior homme intense parfümleri hep şişede durdukça güçlenir bu yüzden kesin konuşamam. Amazonun satıcı olduğu tüm parfümler fiyatı ne olursa olsun sorunsuz bunu anlamış oldum. Umarım bozmazlar.
