[@fratini.]

As a general rule, fragrances get stronger and deeper with age. The 2014 bottle has been matured and macerated naturally over the years. So the 2020 version in 2026 may be closer in depth and intensity to the 2014 version. Have you ever thought about that?

[@jingledubz3989]

Thanks again for the great content, Ash! I haven’t gotten my nose on this yet, but I plan on checking it out. I know that much of the time, when the majority of the fragrance community hates a fragrance, I actually end up liking it. 💪👍

[@EastSideBlitz1337]

I remember back in 2016 I ordered DHI off of eBay. I remember waiting at home for the mailman to deliver it while it was "our for delivery" and it never came. I contacted the postal service and they told me to ask neighbors if they have it. It was just a loss of money for absolutely no reason. I never even tried to order the fragrance again. But at the time DHI was only like 63 dollars instead of 100+ like we see now. This still angers me to this day.

[@riccockerham563]

Thanks for the review! I love the original, but I will give this a buy.

[@skyllz15]

I recently got back into fragrance after a long hiatus, after hearing the praises of Dior Homme and intense, and the changes coming, I blind bought both online, since they had already been removed from local store shelves. So glad I did, great scents!

[@tracer073]

Which did you prefer??

[@skyllz15]

@@tracer073 I like both, with original Homme the iris is more pronounced, and Intense has more "spice" to balance it. I prefer intense as I smell them today, and my girlfriend prefers original. But on any given day it could change.

[@JesusPerez-tu3ms]

What’s the difference between 2020 and 2011 ? I bought 2020 not knowing there were 2 different ones 😭

[@skyllz15]

@@JesusPerez-tu3ms I haven't smelled 2020 in a while, but if I remember correctly it was more "mainstream" smelling with the iris being very light, if not gone.. It's a fine scent, just a safe, easy sell scent. Not Dior Homme as it used to be.

I'm super anxious to try the Galleria scents. As much as you dog on these big houses I can only expect yours to be better.

[@thainz881]

For everyone who is concerned about the reformulation for new Dior Homme Intense 2020. The 2020 DHI has the same formulation as the juice in DHI which run from the Mid 2017 till date. The formulation code is 10950/A. So don't worry and enjoy the juice. Unless you like the old box and the old bottle design

[@DerHalbeEuro]

The new 2020 version is watered down in my opinion. Doesn't smell as intense as before and the longivity is a joke. The color of the liquid is also much brighter. Which is an indicator of a higher water level

[@patrickbateman4541]

I just got the 2020 version when in Mexico. Gotta say I really like it, I would still love to smell the original but it’s a nice combo with the new homme 2020 for daily wears that won’t choke anyone out lol.

Thanks for breaking it down Ash. At least they didnt totally castrate it like it seems they did to Dior Homme I guess. Appreciate u bro. - Colin

[@tiredoffools8929]

Ash, I have to tell you.. I initially had not much interest in picking this up based on the way Dior Homme 2020 was described, but this one seems worth checking out. I will always enjoy the Original DHI...but I image this new 2020 version being akin to the similarities/differences of how Prada l'homme is to Prada l'homme L'eau are. Would that be accurate?

[@BrainTimeOut]

I have the 12/19 version too and 10ml of the old dhi and I like the new one more because the focus is more on the iris and the woods while the old doesn't have that strong iris note

[@lorrienewman6105]

Speaking of focus...you're out of it

[@SergiuNiculescu]

Only Dior Homme 2020 was reformulated. The 2020 Intense version is the same as 2011, only the bottle was changed. A more realistic compare will be with a Intense 2011 bottle from the beginning of 2019. Your bottle already have 6 year maturation.

[@kissalex4353]

I find it one of the most masculine perfumes and especially elegant too and stronger with you intense is not bad at all when we talk about masculinity and elegance

[@Fatmanli]

I tought that I were buying the original. Now I understand with your video that I bought the new one haha I appreciate the smell, I think that it's strong by the way...

[@Guinea54]

So they figure they can capitalize on the modern trend of synthetic scents while cutting costs on the glass and ingredients.. it's a win win for them.

[@rubinpanis8471]

Concerning color: often the naturals change color by time. So it would be worth having a look to the bottle in about 4-6 years! The glas appears to be a little grayish - maybe that makes the juice looking slightly desaturated?

[@Atrejo155]

I found a 2016 batch of Dior homme intense 1.7 oz for $110 ! I also have Dior homme 2020 ,smells way different but is still a beast for everyday / hot weather

[@rockynomad1776]

And yet people will still comment about the focus and think they are funny.

[@sugarray6250]

Dior Homme intense 2012 and the original Issey were the first two fragrances I ever bought. Heartbreaking to see them just dissappear into existence like this. Feels like an end of an era.

[@patrickbateman4541]

For anyone wondering about the difference in smell he's getting, Ash has a 2014 bottle which is a 05443/A formula code 2015 it was reformulated and became 08666/A Then again in 2017 to 10950/A, which the 2020 retains still. So no wonder he's smelling a difference. He literally has a 8 year old bottle.

[@patrickbateman4541]

@@jaredmatthews9403 plus the formula code was the 2015 code until December this year. My thinking is COVID made them change ingredients briefly in 2020, without changing the formula code, but now in 2021 it's back to OG smell UNTIL December ofc

[@Lux.500]

Just went to local fragrance shop in UK I have the new 2020 now due to stores selling them. Well I got offer for 100ml at 85 pounds and free wash dior bag. I taken the bottle home and the batch is from 2011!! I will go back buy more see if they have original batches from 2011 still.

[@kevinkim271]

I have a bottle of DHI and the batch code says it’s from Sept 2020. I wonder if Dior was just using up their old atomizer/spray caps with the CD because the one I have has the bee. The “new” woody-esque Dior Homme 2020 also has the bee on its atomizer/spray cap.

Who do we, as the fragrance community, need to contact to get Dior Homme 2020 reformulated for 2021to include Iris, Cocao, and Leather again? Or does Dua Fragrances already have a Dior Homme clone? I know they have a Dior Homme Intense clone (Deep Impact).

[@mybad4101]

It's not really the "original" since there was a lovely intense version before, mainly with Vetiver, Iris and Vanilla which I certainly miss. Btw., why you have a bottle of Proxima there and did you make a review?

Ash, is it possible they took the original Homme and relabeled it intense to shoe horn 2020? Do you think intense will be relabeled down the road and parfum after that. Or is this not similar to the original at all? I guess what I’m saying is how close is this to the original Dior Homme, not Intense.

You got the point here, Ash: casual wearers may end up liking this more than the original.

Maybe DHP 2020 will be a deeper DHI 2020... and that, to me, would be the major disaster!

[@danielecke8584]

I much prefer the new ones. The old ones were way too powdery. These will be much more successful for Dior than the originals. There are plenty of niche fragrances out there if you want to smell completely unique. Dior wants to sell to the masses. I don’t see any problem with this.
