Dior Homme Original

A masculine gourmand, for Now Smell This

Robin discovers Dior Homme in September 2005 and describes it above all as sweet. She files it among the masculine gourmands, alongside Hanae Mori Men, Yohji Homme and Nikos Homme, to which she compares it.

A modern classic, for Persolaise

In 2014, Persolaise recalls that the original’s heart of baked apple and iris set off a small revolution in the composition of masculines. He finds the reworked eau de toilette still commendable, while regretting that the flankers have tarnished the original’s status.

In 2015, he ranks it among Dior’s best perfumes: an innovative blend of baked fruit, iris, aldehydes and vanilla that became a modern classic soon after its release. The star, he writes, is the perfume itself, far more than Jude Law, Robert Pattinson or Jamie Dornan.
