Dior Homme Parfum, an essence of Man as seen by Dior. After presenting in 2005 such a beautiful and original Dior Homme and then numerous flankers, Dior and its favorite perfumer François Demachy explore with Dior Homme Parfum the dizzying facets of the now cult fragrance.
Released in 2014, Dior Homme Eau de Parfum embodies the modern man according to Christian Dior. Dior Homme Eau de Parfum follows the Eau de Toilette that was born in 2005. Just as elegant and seductive as its predecessor, the Eau de Parfum aims to be even more dazzling and even more sensual. It is a fragrance that represents the quintessence of Dior Homme. Pushed to its peak, the man's virility becomes only more seductive.
Perfumer François Demachy and the Dior Homme saga
The Dior Homme saga began in 2005 with the Dior Homme Eau de Toilette. Born in Cannes, François Demachy had a kind of “revelation” about the craft of perfumer while training to become a dentist. After working for Chanel, François Demachy was hired by the house of Dior to become its nose. Because he embodies the spirit of audacity and the creative outpouring of the house of Dior, François Demachy forms the link between the couture house's past and its future. Having spent his childhood in Grasse, the cradle of perfumery, François Demachy is devoted to passionately celebrating the flowers of his homeland. After the success of Dior Homme, the Eau de Toilette, François Demachy would go on to create several flankers, namely Dior Homme Cologne, Dior Homme Intense, and Dior Homme Sport.
Dior Homme, a fiery woody fragrance
According to François Demachy, Dior Homme escapes all the clichés of masculinity. It explores a new virility, immediate and yet complex. Dior Homme Eau de Parfum opens with notes of Tuscan iris. Iris Pallida, also called Tuscan iris, is the benchmark for all perfumers and also the pride of Tuscany. Today, iris is grown in the Landes region of France, as well as in Morocco. Iris is an elegant, distinguished flower that seems to conceal a treasure. Along with oud, iris is the most expensive ingredient in perfumery. Here, alone in the top notes, iris elevates the composition as a whole. The heart of Dior Homme Eau de Parfum is steeped in Sri Lankan sandalwood, which lends the fragrance a most carnal sensuality. Sandalwood is paired with rose for an undisguised touch of femininity. Despite its 4,000 years of history, sandalwood did not appear in perfumery until the 20th century. It is a noble material that has played a significant role in religious rituals of all kinds. In perfumery, sandalwood is highly prized today. It gives off tonalities that are woody, oriental, powdery, and even milky. Finally, the base of Dior Homme is fiery and extremely powerful, composed of an accord of leather, cedarwood, vanilla and ambrette. The bottle echoes the design codes of its predecessor, the Eau de Toilette, with as much elegance as restraint.
A masculine fragrance par excellence, Dior Homme Eau de Parfum is a composition signed by François Demachy, crafted with noble ingredients, such as Tuscan iris.
