This cat gave the best Dior homme 2020 review I’ve seen, and he delivered it in 2019, before all the hate this juice received. And now everyone says it’s amazing and it is one of my favorites too.

[@Redolessence]

Thank you so much for saying that. I really appreciate all of the kind words. I hope you're having an amazing week.

​@@datesexpress5608I swear 😂. Have most of the Dior line. This one and DHI are the only 2 missing from my collection on this house. I smelled dior homme at ulta last week, and fell in love. Yes, it is similar to my BDC parfum, but I still loved it enough to pull the trigger on 100 ml last night from jomashop. Got it for 84 bucks with shipping and all too. This juice is quality.

I give this cologne a 9 or 9.5/10. The longevity of this cologne is 10/10. Projection also is 10/10. Packaging and marketing is 10/10. The scent is also very good, possibly 9-9.5/10. I highly encourage those looking to get a nice, elegant fragrance to purchase this. It will not disappoint. You don't come across a fragrance as refined as this everyday.

[@ChrisSimpkins01]

Had a card with a spray of this (2020) and one with Homme Intense. Both had about 5 hours of dry down. Took them to 8 people in my office and 8 out of 8 liked the 2020 best. Although this is a complete reformulation, the general public that aren’t frag heads like it...a lot! I predict this will be a good seller to them.

[@henkkman]

Homme (edt 2020) and Homme Intense (edp 2020) are totally different and I could see the general public would like the fresher edt out of those two. To me Homme Intense is great for special occasions and winter weather.

[@harveytrevino2257]

I have had this since the original release, I definitely love it. Sure, Dior Homme Original is still gorgeous with the Iris, but there is a "minerality" aspect to it that is so modern and fresh, like Hermes H24.

It's been confirmed that Dior Homme will still be available just with the name "Dior Homme Original". But seriously they should have just released this one as a NEW fragrance and not under the name Dior Homme. It's really confusing.

[@thomasa.243]

Yep. But at first exclusive to France, Belgium and Germany. So no need to stack up on the original Dior Homme. Regarding the name. Yes, it might sound a bit dumb from Dior to „re-release“ Dior Homme. On the other hand, Dior Homme is the flagship name of Dior. In this regards, a 2020s DNA for a flagship name makes a lot of sense.

[@Tranderson02]

Hi Steve, you nailed it with that Blue de Channel reference. I totally get the same vibe. Keep up the good work.

[@shinrasboy]

I picked this up today. After hearing so much about the original, I found a Macy’s that had the original formulation sample. I have to say...I prefer 2020. Don’t get me wrong, I love scents that are unisex and tip towards florals etc., but I love the 2020 better. I’m willing to bet the Parfum or Intense are better at executing the Iris.

[@Redolessence]

Thank you so much for sharing!

[@davidwestwood2457]

I smelled this yesterday at Dillard's. On my skin, the opening was dominated by the pepper. The elemi gave it a slightly deeper resinous quality than plain pepper. The bergamot is sharp, not sweet. My wife didn't like the overly peppery opening. The middle was dominated by cedar and cashmere wood, but it was a rather thin and weak smell. Not full bodied. The end continued with light clean vetiver and the cedar smell from Iso e super. I think it is the type of scent that could get a second life with some body heat or warmer temperature. I don't like the comparison to BdC at all. Homme has notes that are similar and complimentary and is meant to wear like a second skin, while BdC is full bodied and has a lot of different notes going on like grapefruit, pink pepper, vetiver, incense, nutmeg, labdanum, etc. The comparison is way off and misleading in my opinion.

[@Redolessence]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience!

[@David-wo9un]

Thank you Steven. I wish fragrances were not reformulated so frequently. It seems like when you find a fragrance you like and by the time you re-purchase, it has changed. It would be better and more honest to re-name it to not give any false expectations to the consumer.

[@rehanaziz6632]

Excellent review & explanation. This new batch (2020 EDT) is my most favorite fragrance, but it's longitivity is below average. It vanishes within 2 to 4 hours. I'd also tried Dior Homme Parfum but unfortunately it is totally different & some other fragrance.

Hello. Can you tell me about the renowned Dior Homme Original eau de toilette, has the composition of this eau de toilette changed or not? cocoa, patchouli etc. Thanks.

[@Zetsumei88]

I'm glad to see the comment saying they're going to continue selling the original fragrance. It's quite confusing why they would mark this as Dior Home. They could just add something to the end of the name and call it a day. I'll skip for now and wait for it to become heavily discounted before grabbing it if I do.

[@Redolessence]

I'm glad to see that comment as well, although I still think some people will get confused.

[@nathanbradleyf777]

How weird. Why not just give it a new name and not associate it with Dior Homme? Dior Homme was a groundbreaking fragrance. Anything with it's name should be original. And you don't have Dior Homme Eau. I love that fragrance. Very underrated.

[@fragman4521]

Dior Homme Eau may be my favorite from that line as well

[@Frankie343]

[@stayfreshproductions]

I'm a little disappointed to hear of the stark departure Dior has made from their timeless masterpiece, but I appreciate your open-minded and informed review!

Sacrilege! I hope they do not discontinue the original DH, which is one of the best fragrances ever.

[@fithriandhavinnoor3827]

I think will be discontinued both of them (Dior Homme edt & Dior Homme Intense edp), because at the perfumeries stores in France DHI old version already missing, and DHI new version already displayed, even in counters of Dior, they starting to pulled out 'DHI old version' from the market in France, and I'm sure DH original will missing too, following up soon ! I think will be better to stock up some of them for all of fans DH & DHI original formulation as like me, because they're really unique, sophysticated, and of course a masterpiece !!!

@@sO_RoNerY it's confusing and seems a little lazy. They could have had it as a new flanker but I guess they're " 2020'ing " the whole old line

[@TheAutumnNetwork]

Only one reason. Money. Dior knows the fragrance community that are truly into frags are a minority compared to the general pop. Thus, they're keeping the original and adding "Classic" to the end of it to satisfy the Frag community, while banking on the name of Dior Homme for those who don't know any better.

No intense and parfum are discontinued

[@tylernagel1930]

Max Forti has a point in which he mentions that they got a new Dior intense as well which is replicating how the original Dior Homme would smell cause the older intense was a lot more stronger then the new one. Meaning that everything got bumped up with intensity. Got people worried the the parfum version is gonna be similar to the older intense. Hope that makes sense lol

Was Dior really that afraid to release a new fragrance line? You're Dior...if you build a good fragrance people will buy it. Instead it seems like you're clinging to the name/visual to sell despite the fact the this fragrance is nothing like the Dior Homme line. Or are you going to see how this "new" Dior Homme goes and if it sells, you're going to discontinue the original line? Blah...

[@tgavideos]

I got a sample of this and I did not like it as much as the original Dior Homme, so for me, it was a NO. It smells absolutely nothing like the original. It has a nice opening but after the drydown it frankly was nothing all that special, not to mention it did not last long on my skin.

[@nunyabidniz3262]

Hey Steven, apparently, they still offer Dior Homme 'Original' (previous formulation) alongside Dior Homme 2020 (new release). However, it's anyone's guess how long they'll do that or what their plan is. That said, at least at the present, it's not replacing Dior Homme Original.

I can barely smell it yet I keep getting whiffs of it and it’s kind of like smelling like laundry you just got out of the dryer that hasn’t completely dried and you laid it on the bed and forgot about it and it starts getting a little funky smelling.

Francois is doing an amazing job. It is not he who decides what the name of the fragrance should be, what the overall scent profile should be etc. etc. etc. That is decided by the creative/commercial/marketing departments.

The original Homme was certainly influential, but how “unique” is it today, after Valentino Uomo, Prada L’Homme, etc.?

[@sO_RoNerY]

Michael Namikas they copied Dior.

Unfortunately I just got into the original Dior Homme a tad too late. Thanks to the comments lamenting the loss of the original on the advertising for the new 2020 formulation without iris. I was not able to find any at my local retailers with the exception of a tester at my Sephora. I suppose the employees at this store didn’t know. Who can blame them since Dior decided to do this bizarre change. It really should have just gotten a new line of its own. The last Dior Home iris formulation just has this divine buttery gourmet-esque dry down. Luckily I was able to find two bottles of the Dior Homme Intense in the new 2020 bottles. Apparently they have been reformulated but I can attest they still have the iris. I’ll have to get the previous versions to see the difference for myself. But I might be in the minority that prefers the original Dior Homme over DHI. DHI just lacks that buttery gourmet dry down I mentioned earlier. Upon further research, it seems the original Dior Homme with iris is still sold in Europe (France and United Kingdom) as Dior Homme Original. It’s two well known flankers DHI and DHP are also still sold on Dior’s FR and UK websites. I suspect Dior Homme just did not sell well in the United States. A shame because it was nice to have two different fragrances (Sauvage) that complimented each other. So that’s my theory on how the woody Dior Homme 2020 came into being. Sauvage has done quite well and it seems Dior wanted their original male line to replicate the same success in sales. It could also be a thing of ownership or ego for lack of a better term. Sauvage was in house Dior perfumers Francois Demachy masterpiece. While he was responsible for the reformulations of Dior Homme through the years. The initial success of the original DH from 2005 will forever be attributed to Olivier Polge, the current head perfumer of rival Chanel. Perhaps there is some truth to the rumors that the original DH was a rejected Chanel fragrance. Who knows, maybe we’ll see a reincarnation of the iris dominated DH as a Chanel men’s fragrance one day.
