Description
Essence & Concept
Dior Homme Intense is a deeper, richer interpretation of the Dior Homme line, emphasizing a refined powdery iris heart with warm underscoring from woods and amber. It seeks to elevate elegance and masculinity through softness — more sensual, more lasting, and more luxurious than its lighter counterparts.
Note Structure
Top notes: Lavender, Bergamot, Sage — aromatic herbal freshness gives a clean, slightly sharp opening.
Heart (middle): Iris, Pear, Ambrette (Musk Mallow) — powdery and floral iris blends with soft fruitiness and musky warmth.
Base notes: Virginia Cedar, Vetiver, Amber, Vanilla — woody and earthy tones with sweetness, rounding off into a rich, warm trail.
Evolution & Experience
On first spray, you get aromatic herbs and lavender, crisp and clean with a polished edge. As it transitions, iris becomes more central, carrying powdery, creamy richness, with pear and ambrette softening its edges, adding lushness. In the dry‑down, woods, vetiver, amber, and a touch of vanilla shine through, giving a warm, elegant finish that lingers.
Longevity & Projection
Very good to excellent longevity (often 8‑10+ hours on many wearers). Projection is strong in the opening and heart, then settles into a more intimate but still noticeable sillage.
Best Use / Occasions
Best suited for cooler weather (autumn/winter), evening events, formal affairs, or romantic occasions. Also works in more upscale indoor settings. Less ideal for very hot or humid days due to its richness and powdery sweetness.
Character & Vibe
Dior Homme Intense feels elegant, confident, and sensual. It leans polished and luxurious, balancing soft femininity (via the iris and powder) with masculine woods and amber. It’s for someone who wants a classy, attention‑drawing fragrance without going loud.
