Dior Homme Cologne (2007)
8.2Dior · 2007
Fresh · Citrus · Floral
Dior Homme Cologne is a fresh, citrusy men's cologne that rests on a powdery, faintly leathery base, and it has been discontinued; it suits daytime wear best.
Mandarin orange, bergamot and neroli give a bright citrus start, while sage, lavender and cardamom add an aromatic, spicy edge. Iris brings a powdery softness at the centre. Vetiver, leather, cocoa and patchouli then form a woody, slightly sweet base, with floral and fruity shades running through the accords.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall close behind, and daily wear, office and leisure lead the occasions. Most see it as masculine, though classic and modern both get a fair share of votes. Dior Dior Homme (2005) and Montblanc Explorer Extreme have a close profile.
