I’m now ready for that chemistry exam. Good job!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Amazing:) Thank you for watching

[@kirkules330]

Unpopular opinion: Dior Homme 2020 is good.

[@kitskast9690]

If you look into DH2020 on its own, and not base idea on previous release, you will find it is a very nice fragrance. Many times I read reviews trashing it, usually they compare it to the old one.

[@anunusualironiccircumstanc2246]

I wear it all the time (2020) and I love it one of my go to everyday fragrance. I don’t care what anyone else thinks, wear it for yourself!

[@CinHotlanta]

it is good and I like it, but I am still disappointed that it supplanted original Dior Homme. I still wish it was just given its own new line.

[@sevenheaven5175]

Agree

[@williamhasty3964]

I agree. To sum it up, Dior Homme 2020 smells like sexy man sweat and Dior Homme 2011 smells like a sexy man that’s been making out with a woman wearing lipstick and it’s on his collar

[@tattoofun2003]

Very different take on the new 2020 formulation than what everyone on KZbin is saying about the newest formulation. Thank you for the video !

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Thank you

[@tattoofun2003]

@@AaronTerenceHughes i just tested for the first time the new 2020 Dior Homme. It is different than the previous version. Somehow I get a strong Bleu de Chanel vibe from the Dior Homme 2020. I wasn't expecting that.

2014 dior pour homme parfum 75ml is the best perfume dior has ever made in my opinion

[@jura_rose]

@@AaronTerenceHughes Thank you so much for the encouraging comment. I am actually experimenting at home making perfumes. I don't own any good Oud to work with. Do you know where the best place for me to get good Oud from. Or would you recommend I experiment with aroma chemicals first to get an Oud accord and experiment with that first. I know real Oud is expensive and I wouldn't want to waste it until I know what I am doing. Thanks ❤️

[@BK-us6ps]

I very much enjoy how technical your reviews are. You definitely fill a void in the fragrance reviewer community. There’s no one else like you. But then again, you’re a unicorn :-)

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Thank you. Your right only one perfumer who thinks they are a Unicorn! ;-)

[@Andybato]

@ B K There are too many opinionated fragrance reviewers and not enough professional/amateur perfumers.

[@BK-us6ps]

Andybato - Agreed, except Aaron is no amateur. He’s as much a pro as anyone in the business. And with his chemistry background, I’d say more so!

[@r.duncanmcfadyen1370]

So the new one has more naturals and is likely more expensive to produce! That contradicts prevailing wisdom that perfume houses are constantly trying to trim costs and cheapen formulas. I haven’t smelled the 2020, but it’s been almost universally panned in “fragcon”. Glad to hear that Dior may not have lost its way at all... Thanks for the honest, enlightening review, Aaron!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

My pleasure

[@jeffreysmith3061]

Aaron, how dare you have a different opinion than most KZbin reviewers. The nerve! LOL! That's why we love you and keep tuning in. And thank you for the daily chemistry lesson! I feel like if I would have had you as a teacher I would have passed it.

Thank goodness for ATH, an objective view of both these fragrances... you never cease to amaze me! I never really liked the smell of the OG Dior Homme but looking forward to this new version. Now I'm all set to have the new DH in my collection. And thank goodness for my chemistry professors, this chem talk is like having a regular convo, LOL!

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

I recently discovered Dior Homme 2020 and love it!

[@kmw5100]

I love the way you break all these down. It's nice to get an understanding of what makes up the notes we pick up on. I have recently grabbed Dior 2020 in the hunt for a different signature scent, and I quite love it. It does seem like it brings back some of that 80's masculine fragrance vibe, but it cuts the animalic and barbershop vibes that dates those fragrances a bit. I do agree, I would love if there were some geranium in there to bring it up another level.

[@danielarevalo7013]

Your gifted and passionate approach to fragrances makes me take notes and study as if I were going to a master class where I am always learning . I look forward to your insightful videos. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Colombia, South America.

[@Macnchedda01]

Hell yea I was hoping u would review these appreciate u !

[@Artem_Shipov]

I personally love Dior Homme 2020 more than original "iris version". The drydown of DH2020 slightly reminds me of Blue de Chanel aftertone.

[@_jm77_josem.69]

Very interesting comparison. You get a clear image of what to expect from each one.

[@bubba7177]

I enjoy your videos and I find that because there is often so much information provided I will have to view them a couple of times. One pass is simply not enough. I appreciate the education about fragrances your videos provide.

This is so nice to hear that the reformulation is actually MORE natural and better than the original.

[@richardwillmott6324]

Brilliant review. Very educated and educational. I have old and new versions. So happy it got re-released 👍

[@NathanDuffy725]

I bought the new Dior Homme back in March for my birthday and I really like it. I know it gets a lot of criticism because lack of iris but for me I look for masculinity in fragrances, so I love those masculine woody fragrances. For my personal taste I would go for the 2020 version, I don't think I tried the original Dior Homme but I listened to a lot of people on what it smells like and already know what I would prefer. It's nice to know what a real perfumer thinks of this new fragrance.

[@yevhenbryukhov]

Although I'm not a PhD in organic chemistry, I find it surprising that I mostly follow you on your explanation, and it is not "sci white noise" for me. )) Thanks! For some reason, I find your technical explanations interesting and enjoyable.

[@adamleon8504]

thats not the point. Its good but similar to tons of others. Mainstream unispring cash grab.

[@yellowdevilsauceyds579]

@@adamleon8504 I get what you ‘re saying, even though I don’t entirely agree, but most KZbinrs, if not all of them, basically say that this is a horrible, synthetic scent, nothing compared to the original one. Aaron is the first one to say that this is not such a horrible scent after all!!

[@pedrorojas0116]

Most of them just hate on it bc of the old one. pretty sure if it had a different name on it then people would be all over it. It's a very good scent and prefer it over sauvage imo

[@levicano1797]

Thank u Aaron once again for honesty. Seems like the hate for Homme 2020 has been a thing since it was released. It’s such a beautiful fragrance. The iris in the orginal Homme is too cloying for me personally.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I agree with you. I dont like the Iris accord at all. But thats such a personal thing. I love it as its slightly 80's and super masculine.

Love your take on this one; DH 2020 is a well-executed fragrance. Please do a review of the New Dior Homme Sport (2021) as well

[@danman3163]

I would love to sample several of your fragrances, but to me it doesn't seem worth it to blind buy 10ml even if the notes sound good, cause you risk having 9.9ml`s left of a fragrance you don't like enough that you now have to sell online. So if I order say a couple of 10ml`s, is there any way to get 0.5ml samples of more fragrances or something? I really would just love 2-5 sprays worth to see if its worth it to order more later.

@@arncj18 i think one of the biggest factors is skin moisture. I don’t necessarily have DRY skin but i also don’t use any type of moisturizer.

A few days ago a collegue of mine, who knows that I love and collect fragrances, asked me what I thought about the 2020 Homme. I said that I haven't smelled it yet and he said "tomorrow I'll bring the bottle to work, don't apply no perfume". Next day he comes with that huge 150ml bottle and I applied 4 sprays of it. I liked it from the start but as the day went by I started really loving that smell. I have weird skin and fragrances mostly don't last very long but this one - not only smelled amazing, but also lasted extremely long. Even after work I was getting whims of it. I'll definitely purchase it because it is very pleasing, very masculine and long lasting, while at the same time doesn't come off as agressive as other long lasting fragrances.

[@ryanbrown4259]

Aaron, I mostly don't know about chemistry, but really, this one gives me an idea of how several perfume won't work for several people. For way too long, I've been hating this kind of fragrance like Mont Blanc Legend. There probably some notes that make me nausea, maybe its the lavender, i don't know, maybe its sandalwood. Can you do this kind of video so I can stop buying the wrong fragrance?, really love this content by the way!

[@Tinku912]

Thanks for your wisdom. I sprayed my sample of the 2011 version and experienced it through your nose. Learned a lot. Personally, I've tried to like it, but can't get past the so-called Iris opening. It actually makes me nauseous. I've not smelled the 2020 version. Sounds like they've improved it.

Just picked up the 2020 version couple weeks ago, it’s slowly growing on me, but I think I prefer it in smaller doses, throughout the day vs over applying from the start.

[@shpalman7]

That's interesting because all the KZbin reviewers who knew the 2011 version already are against the 2020 version because it's different. Although I don't know why they just didn't give it a new name. When it says Virginia Cedar is it really cedar or is it just a load of iso e super? Also it looked like the double bond was in the same place in your graphic of α and γ ionone, just that the γ didn't have the methyl groups explicitly drawn on.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I think they should of called it a new name. To me it feels completely different. Nothing like the original at all

Hi Aron the original Dior Homme has a silver stem running down inside the bottle not black the black one is not a patch on the vintage one it was so innovative when it came out it has a lot of aniseed on top and then turns to a sweet Woody iris.
