Chocolatey powdery iris
Being in the US, I couldn’t easily smell Dior Homme Intense; the places I typically order samples from don’t have DHI in stock. When I first tried Musc Des Sables, I thought “Oh! This must be what DHI smells like, but with better ingredients!” It fit the description of chocolatey makeup-bag iris, minus the lipstick. The patchouli note feels perfectly chosen for this composition—not too earthy, not too aromatic. The iris lends a dry yet creamy texture to the chocolatey patchouli.
Many months later, I walked by a FragNet store (didn’t know they have brick and mortar stores!) and found DHI on the shelf. Of course, I had to try this much-hyped classic. I was sorely disappointed; DHI smelled thin, nowhere as good as Musc Des Sables. I knew then that I have to get a bottle of Musc Des Sables.
While Les Indomedables has many other high-quality and interesting creations, this one feels like the best possible in its genre.
