What does Dior Homme Original (2011) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn, then winter and spring, while summer lags behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, with daily and business wear also getting votes. Most voters call it masculine and classic.

The opening brings bergamot, sage and lavender. In the heart, Florentine iris absolute, cocoa, amber and Guatemala cardamom add a powdery, gourmand sweetness. The base settles on leather, patchouli and Haitian vetiver for a woody floor. Dior Dior Homme (2005) and Dior Dior Homme Cologne (2007) have a close profile.
