What others here are saying kinda makes sense too. Dior is most likely enroute to an elixir. Maybe they're reshuffling things under new names. 🤔

Excellent. Keep me posted. I'm confident you'll enjoy it a lot.

Nope. They're nowhere close to each other. I have Akdeniz, Cedrat Boise Intense and regular Cedrat Boise. They're not similar at all.

I really can't understand why some.of these brands are coming up with this concept of smaller bottles but at such high price tags. I think it's kind of loke creating an illusion of feeling "rich" cuz a buyer was able to get it. Not to forget that many out there are certainly living beyond their means. Just a thought.

True!

Stop waiting and buy them asap. Every second you waste and that stocknis depleting fast.

Sad reality.

I don’t think redoing Dh parfum with US release is a bad thing . What IS greed is just hearing that jpg is doing a le male elixir PARFUM. Talk about a pathetic cash grab. Doing elixir flankers now?!

​@@CooliewhistlesHaven't heard that one. I thought it was going to be Le Male Elixir Absolu?

Sime here have mentioned the reformulation was the reason why it's being sold in North America and it's so true. The OG never got sold in North America officially. They have all these fragrance regulatory bodies and then certain formula and ingredients aren't accepted in some regions. I guess Dior noticed how they're losing a huge market here so they resorted to this move.

Yep.

I guess it's all happening as per Dior's decision. Perfumers merely work as per instructions. Typical corporate world, right?

@brian19869 imagine being paid to paint a duck face over Mona Lisa because not enough people are paying to see it as it is.

Sad reality, my friend.

Whatever LVMH tell him to do, sir.

Exactly.

Exactly the thing I wanted to address by saying that the og DHP.and new 2025 DHP are very different fragrances.

@ I don’t hate the new one but it should’ve been a flanker or part of a new line. It is a shame that the iris note almost disappears on this one after a few minutes. I definitely wouldn’t grab this one over DHP or DHI.

Yes, agreed on this.

I hear you. From what I've read, the way they did the reformulation was by taking facets from all the flankers and integrated into the new parfum version. Also, they mentioned how the whole iris flower and plant was used. So they did play with the ingredients and formula quite a bit and it shows. The og is og. No questions about that one. If you watch my first impression video you'll see this is exactly what I said. Better not compare the OG to this one. They're very different fragrances.

@@brian19869 💯 great point especially very few fragrances in general match up to the og DH Parfum

Exactly. Nothing like the OG DHP

@@ncpmadhead guess they’re reshuffling the Dior Homme lineup.

I guess it’s best to stock up before existing supplies run low. The OG bottles will reach sky high prices soon.

Agreed I ordered a backup bottle

Good move. I'm just curious to see how high the prices go once the OG is pulled from EU market and stocks deplete

Without any doubt. Higher prices and smaller bottles. Guess Dior is following in the footsteps of MFK sizing. I wonder how long it will take discounters to get these at affordable prices cuz not everyone can buy at this full retail tag.

Ruined it or not, but I can assure you onw thing. The Dior Homme Parfum you knew and the Dior Homme Parfum 2025 are polar opposites in my opinion. They're nowhere on similar grounds and any hardcore og DHP lover is most likely going to avoid the latest release. That's why I mentioned if you consider the new one as a fragrance by itself, then it's all good.

I always take this type of feedback very seriously. Thank you for the comment. It really helps me understand if things are working right. 🙏

Exactly the reason why I addressed the matter. Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts 🙏

See if you can sample the og parfum and the new 2025 parfum. Do lemme know which one you liked better.

From what I've read, Francis took a little of something from each flanker of the Dior Homme lineup and compiled this formula. Hence, rather than a dark fragrance, this version is more versatile and easy to wear. I guess, one can easily pull it off until it becomes super humid and sweaty.

@ thanks 🙏🏾

🙂

@ no doubt I’m aware of that. But it does macerate even more over time once you reintroduce oxygen to the bottle.

@ thanks 🙏🏾

I have this exact same question on the bottle size. Also. I'm seeing this new trend of fragrance brands (designer or indie) that they're claiming those smaller sizes are more versatile and easy to carry around. Dude, if I liked something that bad, I wouldn't mind the extra few grams of weight, right? It's also a business tactic too. You're neither here nor there with a size like 75ml especially when you really like it, so you end up buying multiple. Money in their pockets 😛

I'm sorry to say that I haven't tried Givenchy Reserve Prive 😔. I can understand that the note pyramid might indicate similarities, but I'm pretty sure Dior wouldn't make a move like that. I could be wrong, but that's my intuition. Maybe I should visit a store and sample Givenchy to find out if it's the case or not.

Reserve prive is a boozy iris...so no it's no where near that....notes completely different.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and greatly appreciate the support. 🙏

I still haven't tried DHI, but I'm actually in the process of getting all the variants of the DH line-up.

@brian19869 big foul, Top 10 of all time. This coming from a snob! A staple for every collector.

On it, my friend. I'm working on it. 🙂

I think you don't need the DHI if you have the DHP

@patrickstar7693 other way round.

Appreciate the positivity. 🙏. Thank you too.

I hear you. There are times when a specific layer of a fragrance is much more desirable.

I can totally relate as to why you can't stand the OG parfum. Since it's available in the US, I'm sure the stores will have it. Go for a trial. Do let me know how you gelt about the new edition.

@@brian19869 I will thank you ! I know lots of people say it’s similar at to Armani Code Parfum at dry down, so if that’s the case I will probably won’t buy it since I already own that one

I hear you. 🙏

Yes, I realized it a few hours later after recording cuz I was still noticing how wonderful the transitions were. Thank you for your response.

Very happy to hear about your experience and thoughts. Yes, there's a good possibility that they might just come up with an Elixir. Let's see what the future holds.

And the elixir will be a hopefully be a re-release of the OG Dior Homme Parfum.

There's a good chance of the elixir happening. It's like a trend now, unfortunately.

🤞

They're coming out with new packaging for Dior Homme Intense as well, so I doubt that's what's happening.

Then I guess they're reshuffling all things Dior Homme line-up.

The presence of oud and rose in the earlier version is definitely not like the typical combo, however I’ve come to know many who totally couldn’t wear those iterations. The fragrance was causing headaches or the iris became too overwhelming. This version took a different turn. I can assure you one thing. The new release is strong and long lasting. Those few sprays I did on my hand went on for many hours even after several washes. Give it a try. You might just like this 2025 edition.

Excellent. Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts.

I'm not sure how much it'll help since that juice is seriously weak. You could take a chance and see.

I can completely agree with your words. There must be some ingredient restriction or formula differences between the Spanish and French versions.

Excellent. Very happy to hear back from you. Yes, the cooler temperature certainly makse this fragrance feel a whole lot different and special. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this one. 🙏

✊️

They did send me those travel sprays of the other two. I will look them up and make a video too. Thank you for your interest. 🙏

This was an unboxing and first impression thing. I'm sure they could've worked something out, but let's just pause and think about it for a minute. If someone pays that amount of money for such a small fragrance bottle while considering the fact that they're a small company which makes fragrances in very small batches, then I'm sure there's this certain level of expectation. Why would someone need to go through customer care channels for something that should've been all set in the first place? It's not like the bottle shattered during shipping? It was something that should've been in place and intact from the moment it left their warehouse. I'm sure you see my point here.

That straight up means less perfume oil. Then of course the fragrance is gonna be different in many aspects.

Thank you for sharing your experience and findings too. It's a shame they did like this. My latest bottle has become much better over time, but that omph is mellow 😔

Look into these cuz they have mint and I absolutely love these: Xerjoff Torino21 Amouage Enclave Marshoud 4 White

It's very elegant and sophisticated for sure. Definitely worthy of a high rank. 🫡

@@brian19869do you like the Diptyque house? I recently got more into them. They are lovely also. I also like satin mood from MFK.

MFK Oud Satin Mood is a good fragrance, but it's definitely not to my taste. Haven't explored the house of Dyptique yet, but ai have plans of course.

@ could you give me some recommendations. What houses do you like? Say your top 3? Thanks so much. I love to learn about fragrances.

It's kinda difficult to answer that question cuz I love them all, but since you ask, I'll tell you about some of the preferred houses (not that I like all offerings and have tried things extensively but whatever I own gave me great experiences): 1. Zaharoff 2. Maison Anthony Marmin (attars) 3. Fragrance Du Bois

Agreed on the sustainable packaging materials and minor flaws, but I still can't justify why the seal came in broken 😔. That tight cylindrical container is still ok, but it's the seal that caught my attention.

Yes, definitely try it. Very cozy and comforting.

Yep. I remember you said good things and it's all true.

Thank you, Shawn. It's really very nice. That whole development over the hours is great too. Lots of transitions.
