Dior Homme Intense has long been hailed as one of the best designer fragrances for men, and I have to admit, I didn’t quite understand the hype when I first smelled it some years ago. However, as I’ve grown older, my appreciation for this sophisticated scent has only deepened. Maybe my tastes are changing over time? Released in 2011, it is the Intense version of the original Dior Homme from the same year. The Dior Homme series has been on the market for several years and has undergone multiple reformulations and redesigns. I can’t speak to the previous versions, but let me tell you about this one.
Quick Facts:
Smell:
The dominant note in Homme Intense from Dior is iris, which gives the fragrance a floral and powdery scent profile. If you’re familiar with L’Homme from Prada, you’ll know that it also features a prominent iris note. However, while L’Homme leans more towards a clean vibe, Homme Intense from Dior exudes a sexier, more assertive energy. This is the kind of fragrance I imagine someone well-off in a custom suit would wear. Picture the bustling floors of Wall Street investment banks like Goldman Sachs, where intelligent, rich, and cocky bankers work their magic – that’s the essence of Homme Intense. It’s a heavy scent best suited for days when the temperature doesn’t exceed 15°C and can be worn to the office, on a date, or for a night out at an upscale cocktail bar.
Longevity:
One of the great features of Homme Intense is its impressive longevity. This powerful fragrance will easily last you 10 hours, projecting nicely without overpowering anyone in your vicinity. It strikes the perfect balance between being noticed and being respectful of others’ personal space.
