Dior homme parfum Episode # 120

A magnetic mens fragrance that I feel privileged to review ! An out and out Gem!!

[@fT2217]

This review itself is a masterpiece

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you Fuad, very kind of you.

[@somedude4652]

Excellent review, as always AC!! Dior Parfam is truly hypnotic but hard to source unfortunately, at least in this part of the world - Australia. The Sri Lankan sandalwood in this masterpiece is distinct and heavenly.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you my friend :) I am glad you enjoyed the review. See I did not realize that the Sandalwood used here is Srilankan, this is why I like our community and you all, I get to learn... which I enjoy the most:). Thank you for enhancing my knowledge, I am very grateful :)

[@smick6233]

Good job AC. This is the best designer fragrance in my collection. As a matter of fact, I enjoy it more than most of my Niche Fragrances also. A true classic.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

I agree my friend on of the very best designers :)... great to see you stop by.

[@justaddlight]

A stunner no doubt and you really did the scent justice AC. The original 2005 creation started it all for me and I still consider it the pinnacle of men's designer perfumery. Parfum just takes that same heart and makes it feel niche. I very much agree with the "something that'll wear you" description. There's a solviet russia joke in there somewhere. lol

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thanks Doni, and I wish I had a chance to smell the original Dior Homme... never smelled the 2005 version. Please enlighten me on the Soviet Russia joke mate, I am dying of curiosity :). I enjoy this frag every time I wear it and I have worn this in summer would you believe it :).

[@justaddlight]

Hahaha it's just a gag from Family Guy....In "Soviet Russia, car drives you", but it's popular nowadays to replace "car drives" with anything.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

hahahaha brilliant! I will have to remember that :). Thank you.

[@kensprings8667]

Yet another on-point review AC, enjoyable stuff indeed!

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you Ken! I am glad you liked the review.

Spot on review AC this is a hall of fame scent that all seasoned enthusiasts should have in their collection. All the best mate

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thanks Mate, well said, this is hall of fame ... definitely.

[@itskyyuuuu]

Such a great line. This is the best of the dark juices to me. One could call this a masterpiece. I enjoyed this thanks!

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thanks Kyle, and I agree this is not only dark its also so attractive, its not that haunting sort of dark... as you say verges on masterpiece. Glad you enjoyed the review.

Great job. I love this line of Dior.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

thank you my friend, I agree this is a truly wonderful line.

[@jorgefontes7976]

I've blind buyed this one this month, the 2020 100 ml version, as i like very much the scent profile of this line, and following the recomendation of connaisseurs like yourself. Best perfume buy in a long time, this is the kind of fragrance i really love, classy and artful. Blends perfectly with my skin and it's inspiring. Work of Art, indeed. Thank you for this review 🙏

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

I am so glad you like this Jorge, this happens to be one of my absolute favorites. If you like this then please do try Bentley Absolute for men and Costume National Soul, they are equally amazing scents that I have reviewed as well. Very different fragrances.

Dior Homme Parfum is the greatest designer fragrance of all time and it has niche quality...period!

Couldn't agree more :)

Never got into Iris fragrances (I still do have Valentino Uomo Intense , might be tested in bad weather or not in a mood of smell those couple of times) but thanks for sharing your thoughts ✌🏼 great video as always .

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Ankit, nice to see you. this is not an iris fragrance though, so worth sampling. This is predominantly leather and woods with iris playing a supporting role.

[@abidkhatri2690]

Thanks for the video AC👍

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you Abid, and great to see you.

[@steveb8269]

Luckily I managed to purchase the last two bottles of DHP earlier today from the bottom drawer of my local Debenhams Dior concession, thank you so much for giving me the final push to purchase before its unavailable AC, with already having the EDT and EDP I sat on the fence for the last 2 years.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Steve this is an absolute blockbuster fragrance mate, and I think you did the best thing to get the two as I have heard this is discontinued :))

[@larryasiedu7704]

AC, you made get this today and wow.... It's a stunner and truly I am surprised it's marketed as a designer. This is niche quality and qualifies to be among the prive line. Thanks for the near perfect review.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Wow Larry, brilliant acquisition. I completely share your sentiments around this scent :)

Been on my radar quite awhile. Quite difficult in the States to acquire but most likely worth it. Fabulous review. I would recommend you do a Dior Homme main 3 frags compared and contrasted. Just a thought. Cheers! ;)

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you Steven, and I quite like your idea, I will get that done. Totally worth getting this one mate :).

[@Poetic_Justice_YC]

Hi AC thanks for the wonderful review. I went ahead and purchased 2 bottles at my local pharmacy store after hearing that it’s discontinued. They only had 1 in stock but promised me they can either order it from their warehouse or I can pick up from one of their other branches. So the one I picked up at the store had a batch code 9A01 which I checked on checkfresh.com has production date Jan 2019. Which makes me wonder if it’s really discounted or not... the store salesperson also told me they can order DHP quite easily even though there’s not a whole bunch of stock (only half of their branches has stock and those only have 1 each) and she’s never heard that it’s discontinued. She said I can pick up the other one within two weeks, and it’s only been 2 days got a text saying it’s ready to be picked up. I live in Auckland, New Zealand btw and the store is quite reputable (Life Pharmacy) so highly unlikely to be fakes. And I couldn’t find them online either which is why I went to the store and paid retail lol. But because I bought 2 they said I can get tax off (no idea why) which is 15% off, now that equates to $190 nzd each, which is much cheaper than I thought. Anyways keep up the good work my friend!

[@ryant9620]

Yes, I enjoyed this review.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you Ryan, most appreciated !

AC sir , it's an awesone one and best part for me that it is non sweet and ofcourse the performance, luckily got from Cairo Duty free and loving to the core. Thanks a lot sir

Thank you Jose, much appreciate your kind words my friend :).

[@sinbadthesailor7540]

Sir, You are a fantastic host and speaker. Really loving your reviews. And does this rose/oud combo in Dior homme Perfum gives that Middle Eastern vibe as I don't like that???

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you and absolutely not, don't get any Eastern oriental feel at all. Just love the depth and richness of DHP to be honest.

[@valuta42]

Hello Sir,I'm so impressed when you get out that Ohhhh,wich made my to order 50 ml from Perfume Parlour. You put so much passion in your reviews, and I like so much that. Thanks for all and for the beautiful flowers which I can see in your house.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you for such a lovely comment my friend, I am truly appreciative. I really love flowers, but at the moment there is a risk of me getting flu through pollen so I am avoiding putting them on.

[@valuta42]

Thank you for your appreciation Sir,for me is a big onor to writing me back. Allways is a pleasure to see your video's and I will never lose one. PS. I recived my 50ml,but because I never smelled the original,I don't have yet an opinion,probably I need more time for conclusions. Thank you again.🤗

[@GurpreetSingh-rs5qb]

Is 75 Ml & New 100 ml the same or its reformulated

Thanks Rex, good to see you pal :).

[@kinjalchakraborty1317]

Awesome Review! Dior does it's Parfums very well. I have all the 3 Parfums namely Homme,Fahrenheit and Eau Sauvage and love them to death. I hope that when they release the "Sauvage Parfum" it would be a masterpiece as well😬

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you Kinjal, and happy Dashami. I think you have done well to add the parfum versions of these fragrances and yes Sauvage Parfum should be good although I am not a fan of Sauvage TBH.

[@kinjalchakraborty1317]

Happy Dashami AC

[@hatchpeacock9962]

Hi AC. I've tried this lately (Summer), and the leather seems to go a tiny bit rancid, or just not quite right. Not sure if that's the effect of Summer, or because of the mould/damp I found in my wardrobe! Do you reckon wearing it in Summer could have that effect?

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

I am not sure mate, I have never worn it in summer.

[@IrisVstudio]

I wish this is more available in the U.S. I'm waiting until the 100ml version is available at discounters here. Praying it will come soon!

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

I hope so too, its a shame it isn't available in the US.

[@cecilsays-legalmindsetcant1339]

Now that a few years have passed, there's talk again about slight reformulation to Dior Homme Parfum. Have you smelled any recent bottles since 2020? I believe Sebastian said he smells more rose now

AC Sir - I have DHI (2020) is having DHP redundant? also has DHP been reformulated? I have not smelled older versions so just wondering

No its not Ayush, its a different fragrance.

[@rodsteele7725]

Has the 100ml version been reformulated? Thanks for the excellent review

It is not true. In a new bottle, it is just as beautiful as in 75 ml.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thanks John great ideas mate and I will do so... Your ideas are amazing and because of your idea my most watched video is the compliment gods video which I thought was an amazing suggestion.

[@alisilva8244]

To my nose , I smell the new 100 ml is totally different than the old one specially at the opening, slightly different in the middle (similarity 80%) to the old one and in the dry down 90% similarity. In the opening, the gorgeous oud note was disappeared. In the performance, (the new DHP is not beast mode at all) the new one 100ml is 35% less than the old version. the new version has less than 8 hours longevity and maximum 3 hours projection while the old one 24+ longevity and 4+ hours projection. In the scent, the new version is missed the depth, it becomes simple or normal fragrance. It depends on three elements only (wood, iris and leather) and become more wearable while the old version 75 ml has more depth and more notes in addition to the new one notes such as powder, cream, rose, leather and oud. The blend itself in old version 75ml is so rich like high end nishe quality and has more concentration however the new version is definitely watered down then lost lots of its distinguish in the scent itself and performance sides. In eazy way, The new DHP version is in somewhere between Dior Home Intense and Old Dior Home Parfum 75 ml To sum up, ithe new version is the diet version of the old DHP. Note: although all reviews said DHP 100 ml has reformulated the old 75 ml and new 100 ml but Dior still insist on writing the same number of formula. This is SHAME!

[@johnb4914]

Amazing review I will try to get the old version to be in the safe side

My favourite fragrance, bar none. Reviewed by the best fragrance reviewer, bar none.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you Damian, very kind of you.

[@Darkandahalf]

Great review. I thought it was interesting you would think Al Pacino would wear DHP. I read somewhere that Pacino wore Lagerfeld Classic on the set of Scarface throughout filming. The cast and crew couldn't escape the smell. Pacino said he wore it to get into character. It's the reason why I bought a bottle, however it can be quite challening to wear, especially in the first hour or so. Have you tried it? And if so I'd be interested to see your take on it.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Hi Mate, thanks for the great input on what Pacino actually wore on the sets of godfather. I have only sampled Lagerfeld Classic once, and I did not like it at all. It was very intense and incisive, kind of like a knife stab at my olfactive senses, so I just kept the sample aside. i may have another go. The reason I thought it would suit Mr. Corleone because there is certain purposefulness about this scent and a certain edgy darkness combined with unparalleled attraction the kind that evokes a sense of mystery and curiosity arsing out of it. All the traits I could feel with the character in the movie.

[@Darkandahalf]

Interesting take mate, I never thought of it that way but I can see why you would relate DHP to Corleone. By the way I'm not sure what was worn on the Godfather movies but I was talking about Scarface, Pacino's most iconic role, where he wore Lagerfeld Classic. I agree it's very intense, I sprayed some on my sister in laws wrist and within 15 minutes she was scrubbing it off with disgust. Very challenging but the drydown is where it's at if you can make it that far. I often pass on wearing it due to not being in the right mood to go through the first hour :)

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Great input of carl lagerfeld mate, I also never made it to the dry down stage, i will give it another go. Sorry I confused the movies. Scarface also happens to be one of my absolute favorites, its intense acting which I truly enjoyed. I get your taste and i will soon be reviewing some classics and would be nice to get your views on them. Have a great weekend and truly enjoyed interacting with you my friend :).

[@Darkandahalf]

Keep up the good work AC. Looking forward to more videos.

[@uncouthLIyouth]

I get more sweetness out of my sample of DHP then I do my 2012 DHI. Has my bottle aged too much?

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Its supposed to have some sweetness any ways mate.

​@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews Well it just smells so feminine to me. Some people saying it hasn't been changed, some saying it has. One person reckoned the leather's been toned down. I don't know what the 75ml smelt like. Lots of reviewers on KZbin absolutely love it and say it's masculine.. so i do wonder?!

@@hatchpeacock9962 oh ! so this is getting feminine on you ?

[@hatchpeacock9962]

@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews it's extremely feminine I would say?! Reminds me of my mom's perfumes. That's why I wonder if there has been a 2020 reformulation as some people are suggesting? Im new to the fragrance game though, but hmm, i dont know, smells very feminine just smelling the bottle even

Saying that, there is something about it. Lovely to smell the bottle! Someone reckons the rose and oud have been toned down in 2020. Maybe, as I can't detect either of those.

Hi John, my most favorite in the Prive line would be Leather Oud, and my most complimented is Bois d' argent.

[@michaelkennedy4444]

It’s overrated due to its scarcity ; reviewers are almost obligated to give it a good rating . On first spray on skin this smells like the individual works in a Tannery and then a cooperage burning oak barrels . It then is very soft with a powdery vanilla dry down on finish . For me it’s very linear with not a lot going on in the dry down . There are far better for less money .
