Damn, Aaron. I smiled all the time, this review sounds as smooth as the fragrance smells. Been waiting a year for you to get your nose on DHI and the wait is absolutely worth it. This is also my favorite fragrance. It's so metrosexual, it is a masculine fragrance but it also has a feminine side. Just chic and pretty!
@@AaronTerenceHughes I couldn’t agree more. Your review is dead on. I go to smell my fragrances when you review them and I’m in awe how accurate you are.
After I fell for the Iris note in Prada Lhomme Leau Im a little obsessed with it. Tried DHI last week and kept a strip in a drawer (yes) and my rooms still filled with this softy smoky melted white chocolate accord. I dont think this perfume will be often wearable in Rio de Janeiro, but... 100ml ordered. :D
I'm absolutely over the moon you gave this a 10!!!! I was genuinely panicking as I clicked on the thumbnail, I've been in love with it since I first smelt it, I would of been so hurt if you'd trashed it. I also love Dior homme (original). To be honest, I can't believe how much I cared about what you thought about it. 😂😂😂😂😂
@@TylerMFOne My apologies 👍👍But come on, who reads the comments before watching the vid?? That's just asking for trouble 😂😂😂 It's like looking for the synopsis of the newest film or episode of your favourite TV program!!!!👍👍👍
Aaron your reviews are hypnotic, engaging and your views and commentary are very much aligned with my own opinion and take on the fragrances you review. I was really looking forward to you reviewing DHI - and as you can imagine I am delighted that you consider this to be an outstanding fragrance by Dior. Loving your work. Rob.
You are the only fragrance RU-vidr I trust when it comes to my purchase decisions. I tried this on recently. Dior have hit a home run with this perfume. Perfectly balanced and every bit a luxury fragrance.
I’ve never heard of Aron talk so highly on a fragrance 🙂.I bet this has inspired him to create something with iris.Dior Intense is my favorite in my collection.
But yes it’s amazing! ATH is the only person I trust to break scents down. The way he does it elevates you and tricks you to think you actually know a lot about fragrances then he comes out with a new video and you quickly realize you watch him for a reason.
Hey, Aaron! Hope you’re doing great! Found your channel through this review. I decided to buy this perfume blindly and It has become my favourite one! I’m in love with the iris note. It reminds me of my childhood, when I used to draw with crayons. I also feel very happy while using it! I don’t know why yet, but there’s something on it that makes me feel confident, sexy, mysterious, empowered and ready to “save the world”! It also embraces myself, making me feel comfortable and safe, ready to put on my pyjamas and drink a delicious hot chocolate! That might be a crazy description but that’s how I really feel wearing this fragrance! Cheers from Brazil!
Wow, you don't often hear Aaron saying he wouldn't improve on a designer frag, it must be really good. Oh, wait, I've got this frag and I find it really good too, hahaha.
@@sherkhanftw7579 It has above average performance and would last a working day without reapplying, if your spray properly. It's the best option anyway. The EDT 2011 would be too soft and the Parfum too heavy. I recommend the Intense, both the 2011 and the 2020 formulations.
@@sherkhanftw7579 ADG Profumo is a darker evening/night version of the original with a smoky cigarette-like accord on top of the aquatic one. Dior Homme is a dark powdery woody floral with a metrosexual lipstick vibe. It's up to you to decide which one you would enjoy more.
I threw a sampler of this in with a few to get free shipping on a website. When i recieved the package i was spraying all of them on testers, and went to make food to wait for drydown, but i kept getting wiffs of one specific fragrance over ALL of them from across the room and kept catching my attention. Of course, it was DHI. Day 2, i had thrown away all of the testers and was still catching wiffs of it. Just from the tester sitting on a wood shelf the wood had absorbed enough to still smell. This was about a week ago and i can still smell the spot that it was sitting. amazing stuff, truly.
@@jimlittle5769 I have both, but I still prefer DHI to DHP. It's probably due to it being my first leather forward cologne. It's growing on me though, the more I wear it the more I enjoy it.
I was really waiting this video, because this is one of my favorite perfume… and I really care your opinion because you are super knowledge and prepared!! The way you analyze fragrances show not only how you love it but even how you studied for that!!
I tested Prada L'Homme, and Dior Homme Intense these days. I couldn't stand Prada L'Homme (tested twice, different days), after one hour I wanted it out of my skin, and I was surprised by it because it was always described to me as a "not offensive office/every day smell". Then I tested DHI, and man... what a gorgeous fragrance... every single time I smelled my arm I closed my eyes in total relaxation... Never smelled something so conforting before. I mentioned Prada L'Homme because I've heard people comparing those two before.
Aaron, you are reason why I restarted my fragrance addiction, I would really like to see review of other Dior home line fragrances and compare them all in one video. If I need to pick one fragrance line to satisfied all my needs, then Dior Homme line would be the one.
@@AaronTerenceHughesAaron, I’m not sure which way to go. I have many Frags. But are Keen on Either Dior HOMME intense or GIVENCHY Gentleman Privee Reserve. Honest thoughts and Longevity/Projection please 🙏
I really like your colognes. Supernove is one of my faorites. You have figured out how to create a freshy cologne that lasts. I see great things for you, and I really like your honesty and putting yourself out there. We don't get to hear from such professionals like you. You are a teacher on what to look for. That is something new for me. I love your take on what is going on today. Well done.
I absolutely love the way you describe this masterpiece ..I love Iris fragrances and I love this scent..it is so sexy man! I also own prada lhomme another beautiful iris fragrance.
I wore this 2 days ago. The girl at the register complemented me then became so distracted that she had to call for a manager. Seriously this happened. Oh did I mention she was a stranger. This is a beautiful fragrance. And not that many men wear it.
Thank you for your insightful review of this immaculate classic from Dior. Always very informative, lively and enjoyable to watch. I am just amazed at how good one can become at anything by self-taught as long as he keeps working on it with dedication, pure passion and love for what he does. You are a prime example of that, Aaron and I wish you all the best on your journey. As for some content idea, I hope you will take a look at the Essenze collection from Ermenegildo Zegna a very underrated house in my opinion (Indonesian Oud, Florentine Iris, Javanese Patchouli are some of their best scents). I think you will appreciate their craftsmanship and truly enjoy them on a personal level.
Francois Demachy, Dominique Rapion, Jean Claude Ellena, Maurice Roucel.... so satisfaying to watch a true parfumer like yourself giving credit to a masterpiece 😌❣️
After seeing your review i took a good old sniff of it at the airport and applied it for the flight to Mexico which was 11.5 hrs. I could still smell it when we landed, and 3 people said how good I smelt on the plane which was great. I've just ordered a nice 150 ml bottle of it as a nice addition to my collection, and I can't wait to smell it again. Many thanks for your superb reviews Terence, keep up the good work, and I look forward to buying some of your fragrances in the very near future 😀 👍
Thank you for supporting my work and my amazing team. I love haze blue in high heat and haze black for the night with blue over the top. Blood orange was described as a TRex of citrus.
I smelled it on a date. I fell in love. With the perfume, not the date. Ordered a travel size for myself today. I'm a women...and French 😁. I want to see how it goes on my skin and if I get compliments. Defenitely my type of perfume
Dior Homme is almost disgusting to me, but Dior Homme Intense is amazing. One of my favorites. Random thought, I really miss Gucci Envy, why did Gucci ever discontinue such a lovely frag?
Please review Dior Homme Parfum. I really buy a fragrance because of your review.. and my skin just like you.. so hard to find the best fragrance for my skin.. i have 9 ATH in my collection, 8 from 9 ATH is very good on my skin. Im from malaysia btw 👍🏻 goodjob aaron..
My travel sample came in today along with side effect and prada lhomme. Side effect reminds me of 540. Was expecting the prada to be a little better. I love this. Bought a bottle after a couple sprays of the sample. Excellent fragrance
Dior Homme Intense is really a fragrance of great creativity, complicity and conflict, for it smells feminine and soft in the opening, powdery, lipsticky, but when it comes to the mid and base, the masculine facet kicks in, the whole thing becomes musky, leathery and woody. For what’s mentioned above, Dior Homme Intense shows the elegance and power of modern gentleman.
You’re missing out! Dior Homme (pre 2020) and DHI are absolute kings and you’ll find one or the other in everyone’s top 10 lists. The new Dior Homme from 2020 is also making waves.
There are three or four reviewers whose thoughts I value highly, but of those, Aaron is the one who displays unmistaken passion and an apparent level of refined technical evaluation.
As far as I know, there is actually iris in this scent? But yeah, Dior Homme Intense is absolutely beautiful. I wear it at least once a week (I have a lot of fragrances, so once a week is a lot for me lol). I very much enjoy your take on it.
Youre right it never really comes off, my favorite part is after wearing it all day then taking a shower the next morning it wakes up again with the sweet musk almost chocolately Great review!
I wasn't sure whether I should buy this one or not. Kept going back and forth, but after your review I think I'm sold. Great video Aaron and hello from Australia! Also when in your opinion do you think is the best time to wear this scent?
You’re my favorite reviewer and I would really like it if you reviewed homme parfum. I would love to hear what you think of this scent dna with the rose (and the other notes not in DHI- oud, rose, leather, bitter orange) added, given that you are such a fan of rose and use a lot of it and oud in your fragrances
Just found ur channel. Great content. You are very descriptive and well spoken. Subscribed and I wish your channel much growth bc I can tell you are honest with your opinions!
I’ve had testers or the original and intense this week. I really want to try the edp and will probably blind buy it. But, I’ve got probably 50+ bottles, some cheap, some mega bucks, but this fragrance, instantly, on its first sniff, perfect. My favs are always not sweet or sickly, kind of blokey, but not too over the top. I loved it and the only thing I’d change is to add leather, which is why I’d blind buy the EDP and will probably buy this as well. To be honest I was surprised that I had no mulling over period with it. I’ve had Sauvage Elixir for over a week now and I’m still not sure, but this was an instant keeper and buy another as a just in case.
Please, please, make a FASCINATING review of Dior Homme Parfum! I am really interested what you gonna think about this, in my opinion MASTERPIECE of a fragrance. Best wishes Aaron 👍
