What wearers say
“This is a better version of Dior homme intense. It’s a nice masculine fragrance with a woody boozy touch. It doesn’t last long. It’s strong for about 2 hours then starts wearing off, by 4 hours it’s nearly gone. This is my gripe with it. It’s a better scent of similar dna as DHI but its longevity and punch are lacking. Overall this is a good fragrance and definitely worth trying.”
“Dark choclate with iris and chestnut. Its boozy, classy and elegant. You cant use for daily tbh but for special occasions and date nights its very very recommended. For performance on skin longevity is 7-8 hour but i can say on my clothes i can smell it 2-3 days. Sillage is not strong but for close contact its so seductive. If you looking for designer fragrance for special events or dates you can buy it blindly.”
“Very similar to Valentino uomo intense but with slight boozy chestnut in opening. Dry downs are very similar both are great cold weather iris frags just don’t need both.”
