Adam levine's brother at the right

[@johnnyblazeh]

This scent is really good borderline feminine & if you spray on your cloths you will smell like a makeup bag for days! Straight makeup bag! I love it it's clean fresh slightly sweet with lipstick makeup bag!

[@johnnyblazeh]

Just got it! Smelled the the makeup bag b4 even spraying it!! It's a beautiful scent. Right up my ally no part of it irritates me it's smooth right through. I'd wear it anytime I feel is the right time, mainly when I'm dressed to impress!! But it still can rock everyday all day if u please!!

[@gabe5257]

I would love to see a current top 10 or 20 list for both of you guys. Great Vid!

[@Adamizer702]

I never thought I'd hear Master Splinter referenced in a DHI (or any fragrance for that matter) review! Really enjoy the random banter between you two, its your signature flavor in your videos. Excellent work, both of you!

[@FragranceBros]

yeah i can definitely see that! thanks for commenting!

[@stelios413]

Got the 2013 formulation ( my only experience with this fragrance ) and it is AMAZING!!!! totally worth the hype. The basenotes remind me of the sweets merchants at the bazaar when I was a little kid! It just make a fragrance even more desirable to me, when it brings up nostalgic memories/scents.

[@adawong2752]

I'm a girl and I wear this quite often as I do with the original Dior Homme. They are just great fragrances. Great review :)

[@kylestevens2141]

Good review guys I just blind bought this knowing it wouldn't be the Holly Grail. But I had to see what the hype is about

[@kirkham1681]

pure class frag up there with green irish tweed and aventus fact

[@razscott]

LIIKE IT!! Just finished my 5oz bottle of it, i need to get another so i dont use all my vintage one, i wear this thang anytime anywhere, superb vid, cracked me up at the start!!

[@MyMickers]

Dior homme smells more masculine than intense?!!! Have u lost your damn minds!!!! Rofl dior homme is so damn fem I cant stand it where intense I can totally wear. Dior homme smells exactly like my mom getting ready for work.

[@whackywilley]

I'm not a huge collector yet, but this is my favorite by a pretty large margin, followed by Individuel, Pure Malt, Gucci pour Homme 2 and GIT. I really love it!

[@YouriIsEenBanaan]

Bought a bottle yesterday. Don't really like the opening, it smells a bit odd to me but after 15 minutes up until 11 hours later it smells just magnificent really

[@MichaelGrey11]

Is it new or vintage?

[@YouriIsEenBanaan]

Michael Jimenez The new one, like someone in the fragrance community says, it kind of smells like cooked carrots in the opening.

[@MichaelGrey11]

+Mr. Poopybutthole that sucks. But it lasts 11 hours? That's amazing. Some people complain that their 2015 bottles only last 3-4 hours

[@YouriIsEenBanaan]

Michael Jimenez They must have bad skin chemistry

[@dph8890]

I have from 2016,,, and last all day on my skin. all depends by skin chemistry.

[@nytid1]

Great Review!!! I have decants of DH and DHI and I would agree that I would choose DH first. but still both are worth having. One for day and one for night.

[@Patrikduke]

Awesome review - thanks guys!!!

[@SPACEDOUT19]

this is basically Dior Homme, simplified, and just put tons of coco powder on top. But i do love the dry chalky opening, its brilliant.

[@scuppaf6476]

Yeah thats exactly what I thought ! I was surprised to find no one compared it to a carrot smell in any reviews.

[@fatemakhatun2534]

can u suggest a fragnance wid the best longevity & perfomance coz the place i live is damn hot & humid!

[@faisalshuvo3963]

Can u do a review on aqua di gio profumo?? Wch is better Dhi or aqua di gio profumo??

[@matttopcat9677]

I get a pear/vanilla/iris 1to 2 hour then 6 hours of vanilla/iris ambrox/wood and then final 3 hours of cedar

[@seedywriter]

Have a bottle and totally agree with your review. Thinking of getting Dior Homme too. Is it worth getting? Sounds more versatile.

[@Longshore79]

Great review, there isn't a huge difference between the vintage and reformulation to my nose. I can list a few minor things, but all in all DIOR did a great job with the reform.

[@MyMickers]

Haha, master splinter! I don't think it's a big compliment getter either but I do love this one.

[@christopher5040]

Hi guys, could you review the "pure perfume " version of it.....please please,please....

[@Apero1Spritz]

I love both DH and DHI. Both are great frags and share the same DNA. DHI is more resinous and creamier. I find DH easier to wear in most occasions. *I'm commenting based on the reformulated juice.

[@bobduvar]

If you like male scents very powdery almost feminine you will like "Habit Rouge" by Guerlain or "Mouchoir" by Guerlain too ! I like "Vitriol d'Oeillets" by Serge Lutens in Palais Royal in Paris 1st district. Every time i come to Paris i come into this boutique !!

[@SuppressorBN]

Moderation is key. 1 spray has a salty caramel vibe. Underspraying this is extremely sexy and great for work. Overspraying it and you smell like an iris vanilla bomb. Amazing stuff. Projection and sillage is huge on my skin.

[@theLupeXperience]

Great review guys. 5 Stars in my eyes!

[@GrooveBiscuit95]

Nice review bros!

[@FragranceBros]

yeah they're very similar. DH has tonka and patchouli in it that separates it from DHI. the tonka really jumps out while the patch adds some depth. i guess that's a preview of a DH review. LOL

[@XanoviaScents]

Great review on a great fragrance... Always good to hear your take on it... I will say that I am also not around 'club rat' girls either as I am 35 married with a family and frags normally do not garner compliments in my office setting... However this is one of the only fragrances I have had people compliment @ work... My wife likes it but like yours it is not her fav (to my knowledge) but will comment if I am wearing it... I do see this as a night out or date fragrance but NOT a first date...

[@jonnycox]

good review guys. I agree with the point on finding a suitable time to wear it, and this is probably the reason why I won't ever buy a bottle.

[@FragranceBros]

it all just depends. they're not all getting longer across the board

[@mrzayas81]

I can understand what you guys are saying,I also Agree that Dior Homme is a more refined version,smells also more high class,I think what makes most people enjoy DHI more including my self is 1st the performance and 2nd the Sweetness that makes it so appealing,but again when I think sweetness I can't think high class,sweetness makes DHi more playful but DH is definitely a masterpiece sophisticated frag.

[@FragranceBros]

awesome! we added it to the shootout list on your recommendation. :) do you own this? we'd love to buy a sample or two from you for the shootout. :)

[@FragranceBros]

yeah i actually prefer DH. i think it can be used year-round and is just a perfect scent. :)

[@martinpark8371]

Try both together its not bad!!

[@attuso20]

great take on this one guys. have both versions,prefer the vintage but both are very close overall. i compare the hype to Pure malt when it was discontinued. PM was the greatest fragrance ever made when the availabilty was low. once it was re released it was just a great fragrance again. heads up: dior boutiques sells 100ml for $72. as far as the femenine aspect, my fiance wears my vintage Dhi all the time and it smells absolutely amazing on her. its actually sweeter and even more fem on her.

[@polofunk]

I have both dh and dhi reformulated version, heck I'm still trying to figure out what's the difference between the two, they smell the same too me, I don't know if it best to have both lmao

[@HugeKurac]

lordy! ginger ale out the nose when jer halo themed his spritzes! LOL

[@matttopcat9677]

have you tried armagnac. .the French pear brandy ..you'll never look at dior homme intense the same again ..not in a bad way either

[@FragranceBros]

awesome! I haven't tried that. Sounds great.

[@michaelfrancisco9330]

This one and D&G's The One elude me, I don't understand the hype, BECAUSE I can't hardly smell it on paper, for one, but The One hits the golf ball high and far down the fareway, which is great for sales blah blah, but I remember the scent somehow, smelled it before, it's only ok to me, and I don't understand the hype, but I also haven't worn it.

[@RyzFragz34]

Great review bros. this stuff is awesome. I did sell reform and got a couple bottles of vintage. Both are great though. Vintage is stronger and has better longevity.

[@peake344]

DHI - Does perception follow reality? Maybe not. Great honest review Bros!

[@tally1604]

Btw, dhi is widely available here in Russia, every department store and frag retailer has it in stock. Dh availability, in the other hand, is spotty. Beats me why

[@crialeshomes]

I have a 50ml original formulation for $55 in South America and I love it. I wear

[@fallguy6196]

If I own Dior homme should I get the intense version ? Or is it not worth it because they are so similar ?

[@FragranceBros]

I think it’s worth owning both if you love both. They’re different enough that it doesn’t seem redundant

[@LovelyMorwen]

My pleasure :)

[@FragranceBros]

totally agree!

[@ItsMsHeatherNicole]

Have you guys compared it to Shalimar Parfum Initial? Fragranticans are saying it's super similar, maybe you can buy that pink juice when you're in a pinch. hehehe

[@tally1604]

I find Dior homme slightly edging out dhi as well. It's just a more logical scent for me

[@IcemanSlice]

Damn it lol. I'm going to think of the Halo theme now. Oh lawd. But I love this stuff. I plan to always have a bottle of it in my collection.

[@FragranceCommunity]

Fragrance broooooooooooos great video :) Love DHI

[@ravi3vedi]

WHICH IS BTTER DHI OR A MEN ORIGNAL......

[@FragranceBros]

thanks Lupe!

[@munkeynutz13]

I feel about the same way with this fragrance. Very good review. You guys need to get your nose on 8 & Bob, and be the first to do a review on that! Phenomenal scent! I know they have it at Nieman Marcus, not sure about Saks or Nordstrom. Would love to hear your take on it though.

[@fatemakhatun2534]

can u plz do a review of aqua di gio profumo.?

[@sabsuresh4521]

I have smelled aqua di gio Profumo ... if you are getting it for a guy aged above 28 this will be the best shot .. sexy hot perfume

[@jimtyrrell6419]

you guys are a hoot together Im a total newbie to this gorgeous smell beautiful list of notes this is a niche quality scent - right up there with TOM FORD I wear lots of "women's" frags (MUGLER WOMANITY!) but dont find this in the least bit feminine I get powdery but not makeup maybe thats similar? a real compliment getter for this 60 year old married gay man great value btw compared to niche keep up the great work guys! JIM from MIAMI BEACH

[@LovelyMorwen]

As a woman, I've always thought the Dior Homme line is quite unisex. It fits well on a man and quite sexy with the powdery feeling and spices, but I can't deny that it's more feminine than many female scents. People compare Dior Homme with Guerlain Shalimar Parfum Initial and I totally agree, but I'll go as far as saying Dior Homme is better because of the spices and the cocoa note in the original. If I have to choose, I'd wear Dior Homme.

[@gavelandguns]

I said the same thing. The reason it is considered so unique is that it is considered revolutionary to make a men's cologne that smells like the lining of a lady's purse. You have to admit the marketing is pure genius. Does this mean Dior's next big women's perfume will smell of male sweat, engine grease, and ear wax? And it will be marketed with the photo of a classy model with the saying, "Smell like no other woman..." lol.

[@MOHAMMAD-og2fw]

I love it 💖👍

[@markabindan2266]

ihave the 4T01 2014. beast MODE! i live in Thailand BTW.

[@gregwilson964]

i have it too really beast mode totally agreed with you saludos from mexico

[@ericdanthon2]

I had one bottle and just bought my second one this week because I thought I had a fake. Took a shower and dress GQ and went to a house party with my girlfriend. No one ever said a word. She usually compliments me but nothing here. A week later I had her smell it on paper and she said, "oh I smelled that on you before",,,,, She said it was ok........ugh

[@wanowan9700]

I never was a fan of Iris, always smelled too feminine, that's why i never purchaser DH or DHI. Then i got a sample of Parfum d'Empire Cuir Ottoman, which has Iris and leather like DH, and i really loved it. It seems the leather does the trick which is stronger in Cuir Ottoman. You should get a sample.

[@mister.h61]

Holy crap, even in 2017 you can't find DHI on Dior's site. WTF?

[@FragranceBros]

really? Wow, that is crazy. I guess Dior hates money!

[@steveharris1740]

I just recently purchased this. I too looked on the Dior website and didn't see it there. I looked on amazon and only found a couple and they were over $100. I ended up finding it in a third party perfume store in the mall for $79 for the 100mL bottle. I actually like this one quite a bit.

[@SirOreo62]

After so many years watching videos about DHI in the community and postponing the purchase of DHI on suspicion of being over-hyped, I decided to purchase it, albeit the post 2012 formulation. My suspicion was correct. Though it is a very good fragrance and I like it a lot, it is not the savior of the world as many reviewers in the community had led me to believe through out the years. Yes, the ladies do like it also, and I'll rate highly (about 8.5/10), but wouldn't give it a 10/10 a many reviewers have suggested. Along these lines, there are a lot of young, impressionable reviewers out there. Their reviews are welcome and do have value. It is appreciated and admired, at least by me, that they take of their time and resources to acquire fragrances and put together a video to share w/ the community their fragrance experience. But one needs to exert some prudence and caution w/ many of the reviews. I feel many reviewers - are too young to give objective reviews - are easily impressionable about fragrances - are influenced highly by comments and reviews already given by other people in Fragrantica, Basenotes, etc, to have any originality in their comments - appear anxious about their participation in fragrance reviews, - are overly too enthusiastic about what they smell without having deep knowledge or experience about fragrances (what I call Sephora and department store educated fragrance enthusiasts). And some of the reviews about DHI have been ballooned. Yes, DHI is a very good fragrance, it is highly complemented, and I will purchase it again and again...however, it is not the super hero of fragrances that many reviewers have let to believe through out the years. One last note, yes, I do agree, I do find it to be a little on the feminine side...so this fragrance is not for everybody.

[@FragranceBros]

Libra27 Yeah I would agree with you on DHI. I think it's a good fragrance, but not one of the best scents out there, and definitely not 10/10. But I do own it and enjoy it from time to time. :) On the critique of young reviewers, I do see what you are saying, but I would say that there are no requirements to review, and everyone has a voice if they have an opinion about fragrances. And if they are inexperienced and still want to review, I say let them go for it. Otherwise, there's no real indicator of when someone "is ready enough" for actually reviewing. I would agree with you and say that there are many who are impressionable and just want to repeat what other reviewers say, and to those young reviewers I would tell them to step back and just be honest. :) Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@SirOreo62]

agreed. I guess the lesson was just for me: to know who is who of reviewers to put more or less weight to the validity of the review. I was not the intention of the message to say that younger reviewers should not participate in reviews.

[@Lukytazcuervo]

Libra27 What's your batch code ?

[@SirOreo62]

batch code is 4G01

[@Lukytazcuervo]

Actually, I can't remember why I asked you that haha, mine is 4N03, so my DHI must be like your. For me, Al from "Street Scents", robes08, dracdoc, Frank N Scents, etc, it's a 10/10. Sad to hear you gave it a 8.5/10.

[@KeetyPooh]

Me personally I get no pear at all and I actually do get that cocoa vibe, thats me though.

[@CarlosBernard0]

And I think American love linear scent we would probably wear those little pine trees around our necks if we could j/k. But yeah its worth it.

[@DrunkWatchReviews]

well said bros.

[@FragranceBros]

awesome! :D

[@VirginiaMist]

Thanks for the video. It's only a fragrance. Too over hyped on KZbin and Facebook.

[@Phenix101TPJ]

Wait ... "birth of ideas" is really the Halo theme?!?! ;-)

[@razscott]

Lupe diddy lupe de lupe de lupe, i own that!!

[@westbury09]

if anybody is interested here's a link of the breakdown of the DHI batches over the years raidersofthelostscent.blogspot.com/2014/01/dior-homme-intense-2007-2013-9-batches.html the 2013 batches are the most similar to the vintage

[@FragranceBros]

i'm not sure what that's supposed to mean, but it's hilarious. lol

[@Phenix101TPJ]

And can I say that I freakin' love you guys?! Really, cause I will say it! =D

[@root9065]

It means "Holy Mother of God" Awesome Review!

[@FragranceBros]

thank you for your womanly perspective! :D

[@DMDL669]

master splinter...........cthu

[@FragranceBros]

I'LL CUT TO THE CHASE: THEY BOTH SMELL LIKE DARK, STRONG VETIVER. BUY WHICHEVER IS CHEAPEST!

[@silentrich11]

I agree that DH is the better fragrance.

[@adamone7962]

Well 2017 reformulation sucks to b honest. 1 hour and it’s gone

[@bigdawgandrewm]

DHI - "I'm Sexy and I Know it!!"

[@crialeshomes]

I wear it on special occasions. It's not really for the compliments but I feel sophisticated when I wear it. I get a lot more compliments on La Nuit tough. And I def mingle with club rats.

[@iConda]

i don't enjoy the first 2 hours of that fragrance at all...the iris smells like shit for me. maybe it's not a favorite note for me

[@darijantodorovic2528]

Dior Homme Intense the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TEANCUM1971]

Sorry Bros but besides Fahrenheit and Dior Homme Sport, Dior has nothing to offer on the "manly" scale, and a scent women enjoy. But I am glad that Daver finds the Homme and Homme Intense to his liking.

[@biggems77]

The reformulated DH is actually pretty masculine (I've got a 2013 batch). The vintage is an iris bomb, and definitely more feminine. Dior Homme Intense on the other hand, is the most feminine frag I own and the vintage DH isn't far behind.

[@jdotrillah]

DHI only 5 months in this frag game, luckily have gotten my nose on plenty and right now, DHI is numero uno.. It just works on my skin, 24+ on longevity, literally sex in a bottle for us "metro" sophisticated gents. Every time I wear I just keep telling myself "damn i smell good!" Only other frag that makes me say that is Musc Ravageur, but only get 6 hours with that. This is my single/man whore scent if i had a gf, I don't think I would wear it as often as i do now unless she really like it.

[@Neil4Speed]

HAHAH, club rat kind of girls. You guys crack me up.

[@FragranceBros]

LOL!!!!!

[@Plucus21]

I think this will work on young women only. Older women probably will not like it as much as it is too metrosexual and they did not grow up in the metro era. Women's taste change as they age just like men's do and men should take that into consideration when choosing a fragrance for women.

[@FragranceBros]

HAHAHAHA

[@Namo81]

it is sexy for sure my lady love it

[@ryanlegrande6400]

lmao :) halo theme :)

[@Tenaiji1413]

Your reviews are getting longer...
