Hi Sebastian how about Boss Bottled Absolu.. you were very much attracted to BBA in your post...can you suggest me a room filling perfume. I would like to buy it from Dubai. Thanks??
@ I think Boss Bottled Absolu is much better than DHP 2025. I would think it’s not a room filler and I don’t consider many designer fragrances room fillers but BBA is so much better than DHP 2025.
@@Jiggy609 But this review is on point. It's a totally different DNA. It reminds me of some cheap JPG Le Male flanker or Armani Code flanker. I would never in my entire life smell this blindly and think about the Dior Homme line
Brother, you have a problem, lol. Unless this is the only scent you wear or plan on passing those bottles down to you kids there is no need for that many bottles
I think, somehow,the parfums reflect the changes in our society as well,in a certain manner,the changes in our personalities.I noticed many of them are toned down,for me that means less emotions, less personality,and the metallic accord reflects the pragmatism that has settled in!
Even if it does smell or act the same, I have complete contempt for recycling the name for a new fragrance. At the very very minimum, they should at least add some identifier to the bottle and packaging. Reformulations are bad enough. But a new fragrance deserves a new name. They could at least put the year on the bottle like a winery.
I think (and hope) that Dior will not kill the Parfum. Probably they will move it to the Collection Privee ($450 for 200 ml ), while the basic Dior's are going to lean more into the popular designer fragrances for younger crowds.
I agree. Why call it the same if the formula is different? I understand regulations change with ingredients but if you can’t make the original formula anymore? Just discontinue it.
They restocked Dior Homme Parfum 2020 edition yesterday on Fragrancesbuy I bought three bottles After purchasing I went to look for it and it was sold out. I feel happy now that I own three bottles 😁✨
Everybody knew what would happen here. Captain Kurk ruined it. What a surprise. There was absolutely no need whatsoever to touch this masterpiece - maybe the best mens designer fragrance of the past twenty years. Yet here comes Francis, with his carefully written brief from the LVMH boardroom, to do what he has done to everything else he has done with Dior. Francis has this weird variation of the Midas Touch - everything he touches turns to s**t.
Sebastian processing the end of a relationship. I haven't smelt this but I smelt Prada l'homme and I sold it. I thought why get this when I Dior Homme Parfum and the intense? I got a backup of the original parfum in the 100 ml bottle and a 75ml bottle. I should be able to ride out the storm. Oh well all good things come to an end.
I think it smells great, it’s like a combination of Dior Homme intense mixed with Armani code. The 2014 parfum was a powder bomb .. smelled feminine imo
Dior spitting in the face of the hardcore fans, and making scent for the "broccoli hair" ones. Also they said Francis will promote the 25 version, himself with broccoli hair style in Paris.
I hope the people at Dior watch this video. You know your stuff, Sebastian, and we all respect your expertise. Such as shame to see what they've done to this iconic fragrance. Why did they do this? If it ain't broke...
Thank you for the honest review ! I will go hunt after a new bottle of the 2020 edition as my bottle of the 2014 edition is empty. No 2024-2025 version for me
Great comparison video Sebastian, too bad they had to mess with a masterpiece. Thank goodness I came across a great guy in one of the groups to ship me one direct from France at cost + shipping. Cheers Brutha 😎
I was waiting on this review. I made sure not to listen to anyone else until I heard your review first. Thanks for being honest Sebastian. I'm Heartbroken that they changed the formulation.
I knew this was coming. Let's Goooooooo! I almost added it to my cart but while beautiful, not my grail scent. I'm working on completing the Aramis collection (Calligraphy, older vintages, Tobaccos, etc). Thank you, though. I did grab a Gris Dior collector's addition at a lower price than current bottles. Sorry if it is a disappointment. Cheers! 🎉🎉🎉😊
I still prefer the Dior Homme Intense. It’s more Irisy and more powdery. Two months ago, bought the bottle for my husband on our cruise 🚢 holiday, but decided to keep it for myself instead 😅.
There is no denying that Dior loves a reformulation/slight repackaging. Miss Dior Cherie/Miss Dior is a great example. So glad I was able to get a 2020 bottle.
2020 and 2014 are identical. There's also a formula code on the box, it's not a matter of opinion, it's not reformulated, people just say that with every release
@@beatmekkerzaging! I have both of them as well in fact i have a full tester bottle from july 2014 and a botlle of 2020 and they smell 99% like each other! The 2014 smells a tiny bot darker which is due to the aging process
Unfortunately, same formula doesn't mean that the scent is the same. The current Dior Homme Intense, for example, has had the same formula since 2017, but there are noticeable differences (and I'm not talking about maceration/maturation, etc)
I know it’s been a minute since your last release but I was curious if you ever got a discount code for noeme? I liked the sample I got to try. Wanting to buy another 10ml hope there’s doesn’t leak like ours did!
thank you Sebastian, for saving my hassle to seek out tester. WHY CALL IT DHP, if content and construction is significantly different. Got a feel 20~ml of old DHP & 120~ml of DHI leftover.... what should i do?
I was riding off of a sample I got of Dior Homme not aware at all that a reformulation was coming. I’ll have to see if I can find a bottle at all anywhere
You got the lightness from it because all they focused on is the opening and not the base. The base is just iso e super and some sweetness. The opening lasts 15 minutes

It would be a good idea if content creators and reviewers from all over the world could write and sign a petition, also representing the entire community of perfume lovers, asking Dior to reconsider this launch and bring back Dior Homme Parfum with Francois Demachy's formula. If many content creators get together, you can have a lot of influence, and behind you there are many, many dissatisfied enthusiasts. I think it's worth a try.
Que fácil hubiera sido poner un nuevo nombre al nuevo producto, que es suficientemente bueno. Si mantienen los dos, seguro mantienen de mejor manera la imagen de Dior.
This new parfum has been released in Australia now, too. Intense was officially available through Dior, but the parfum was only available through discounters, and not at a particularly discounted price. This new parfum seems to be cheaper in Australia than it is in the states which is strange. It works out to about $150 US for the 75ml and $130 US for the 50ml.
The original is like the finest of art, but I feel like could never wear it. I'm a functional minimalist so it wasn't working for me collecting dust. The 2025 version is more wearable, which I like. I doubt I would buy it though lol. Glad I got to try the original before it goes away forever.
Of course it smells better off the strip, when people test these in department stores it's off multiple strips not their skin. So its likely they're intentionally formulated to smell the most amazing off a paper strip as possible. I've noticed this with the reformulated Armani stronger with you intensely in the department store. The majority of people who get out the door with fragrance purchase are likely not returning it or it's a gift and that's profitable for dior.
I should have pulled the trigger few days ago but I left it and went back today to finally order it but it's no longer listed, so I brought a 9ml decant instead 😕I thought that soon will be unavailable or even more expensive then it already is. Save it for very very special occasions.
Ok so I told you on Instagram that I hadn’t smelled this yet because it was absolute madness when I visited Paris during Christmas. But the truth is I was so disappointed when I smelled it. I was happy to gift a bottle of the original formula to my sons for Christmas and I’m so glad I did. Now to get some backups. Honestly I’m very disappointed with so many releases now. What the heck is going on?
I smelled it at Sephora and thought it was a much more airy version of the intense. It dried down quite pleasant but wasnt anything like the og parfum, which is a true parfum with that strong velvety iris. They shouldve seriously made this a different flanker.

Thank you for being honest Sebastian. I totally agree with you.
They killed one of the best designer fragrances ever. I'm glad is still have almost full bottle of 2020 version.
These type of reactions are gold, Sebastian!
Oh boy here we go
Tell it Sébastien everyone is listening loud and clear 💪🏾🎯💯🙌🏾👏🏾
This should’ve been called ‘Dior The Most Unwanted Parfum’
They killed the king. Glad i have 3 back up bottles now

The bottle looks totally different from OG DHP though.
Kurkdjian ruined Sauvage with Forte, and now he's ruining DHP! When will the madness end! 😱😱😱😱😭😭😭
Is Kurkdjian serving his paymasters?
Kurkdjian doessn’t really do it for me at MFK, his Dior run is not even keeping up the standard, it’s outright ruining Dior Parfums.
Mfk is a legend for creating Le Male but he is serving LVMH for sure. Really sure he had no 100 % creative freedom.
well get ready I heard he doing his version of Fahrenheit too
The contract is 5 years too
Exactly what I think, they've broken the myth !

Thanks for your review, Sebastian! It’s really a shame that the latest one is so disappointing! WHY do brands do this? Seriously. ❤
The man has tears in his eyes
Mancera Black Prestigium has a close scent profile to the OG DHP.
Carolina Herrera Iris Empire is somewhat similar. More chocolately iris than lipsticky iris.
Wow. U might have a point.
BTV Harmonious is the absolute top, though.
Dior with FK is 0 for 2 right now.. This video just made me wonder if Maison Crivelli will do an extrait or amped-up version of Iris Malikhan..
Maybe they will rerelease an older version as Dior Homme Parfum Original.
I'm thinking this too
Yeah, I was thinking an elixir but who knows
Very likely.
Elixir
Thank you for being honest
I agree. Why call it the same if the formula is different? I understand regulations change with ingredients but if you can’t make the original formula anymore? Just discontinue it.
You can tell Sebastian's state of mind and attitude toward this new release well before he opens the box by how many times he says "this thing" LOL
because this thing smells like cheap horse crap LOL
@@jkarljI had high hopes. I always imagined a slightly sweeter DHI kind of frag would be amazing but this ain't it captain
I will forgive Dior only if they later on launch "Dior Homme Extrait" and it is 50ml of 2014 greatness.
So glad I bought a backup bottle of the OG parfum.
Yesssss cheap Is the exact meaning 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

I sure miss Francois Demachy. I was never comfortable with MFK as the master perfumer at Dior.
Sheeezzzz.
I would blame the executives, perfumers deliver what is asked of them, specially whrn working for huge companies like dior.
Hey hey my brother from another mother. I am glad I am not the only one who feels that way.
People said the same thing thing about Demachy when he discontinued the DHI and DHP and reformulated Homme and Sport. 'Member?
I want to try it, I might like it. But, I'm even more excited that I was able to score another bottle of the 2020 version! Woohoo!
DHP 2014 for me i have my bottle that i bought in 2016 thank god 🙏and its a master piece for me and so many around the world

Not sure if I ever smelled this one. It really hard to keep up on all these releases.

I suspect Kurkdjian is making a room for a completely new line by Dior. Messed up Sauvge line with Eau forte, now messed up Homme line with this joke.

Glad I got a bottle of DHP at a duty-free when I visited Europe last summer!
When you mentioned "metallic", my immediate thought was, cost cutting and they went overboard with synthetics to maximise profits.
Is there any hope that Dior will reconsider this version and return to the older version?

Of course it smells better off the strip, when people test these in department stores it's off multiple strips not their skin.
