Composition

Dior Homme Cologne

In 2013 Dior gave a new version of Dior Homme Cologne, born in 2007. François Demachy holds the cologne to three materials: Calabrian bergamot, grapefruit blossom and white musk. The house presents it as a clean freshness with an enveloping trail, and Jude Law carries the campaign, photographed by Peter Lindbergh.

Three materials carry the composition. Calabrian bergamot opens on a clean zest, Moroccan grapefruit blossom takes over at the center, and white musk holds the base, which the house describes as a musky sensuality.

Grapefruit blossom gives the cologne its floral share: smooth like neroli according to the house, but more nervous and more bitter. It is what sets this version apart from the 2007 cologne, built around other materials.

Dior compares the trail to the casual charm of a white shirt, and speaks of a freshness that holds over time without losing any of its clarity.

What the label declares

The ingredient list names, after alcohol, water and fragrance, limonene, an ultraviolet filter and linalool. Then come citral, a second filter, geraniol, citronellol, isoeugenol and hexyl cinnamal, all allergens that must be declared.

The label also carries BHT and tocopherol as antioxidants, a copolymer that fixes the fragrance, and a single colorant, violet CI 60730.
