10/10 rightly and on principle
Wanted to write the review for a long time, but didn't in the end.
Given the current hype around LNDH Bleu Electrique but it must be.
There are so many weird takes around DH 2020.The opening smells like toilet stone, the scent smells like citrus floor cleaner, comparisons to Bleu de Chanel.
And of course noses and olfactory perceptions are different but for my nose the best thing about DH 2020 is the clear distinction from old familiar Blue Fragrances and Aquatics.
Also, I don't perceive it sharp, overly citric, clinical or anything like that. In the opening resins and woods are completely obvious, after ner half hour until the end, the thing is neatly musky.
The opening is divine, amazingly natural/unchemical for me by designer standards, the bergamot note is a dream. If the DH 2020 is supposed to smell synthetic I have no idea how to describe the mainstream designer blue openings of the lethten decade, Sauvage included.
Performance is difficult for me to judge by my fast Noseblindness bzgl. iso-E-Super for me, however, it is quite a fragrance with which I go as 2-3 spray people quite times on 7-8.
And the whole thing here comes not from someone who so far Beckham For Man and Guido Maria Kretschmer's fragrances. I find Dior Homme 2020 completely satisfying even alongside scents like Coromandel, Tonka Imperiale, Musk Therapy and Ambre Nuit and far from guilty pleasure.
If anything, I would go further and say that the fragrance is enough for the Maison Christian Dior range and would probably be somewhere well above 8.0 if it had a different name and cost just under four times as much.
Dior Homme 2020 is by the deviation of Dior Homme Original for many simply not neutrally assessable and the rest are many perfumos who join the hate-circlejerk. If you dig through the statements and look for perfumos who can classify the fragrance halfway capable, then a considerably more positive picture emerges than possibly suspected. The same goes for Fragrantica. Bleu Electrique, on the other hand, is the same thing, only the other way around. An old, nostalgic water basically unchanged (except for wording owed to the market and right) but with stronger performance thrown on the market and the community dances in the streets.
A similar fate is mMn befalling H24 right now, albeit for a slightly different reason. I suspect H24 and DH 2020 as the first outgrowths of a move towards green notes, away from Ambrox->Tonka and the like. The new Burberry, JPG, CK and Abercrombie Pillar seem to confirm that.
In conclusion, I'm curious how DH 2020, H24 and consorts will be received in five years, I suspect a good bit better than this year

Of lost youth, long nights and the question of whether memories are accurate or distorted
This is my first comment.
With Dior Homme, my love for perfume began at the age of 16 (13 years ago ... fuck) as Hedi Jünger in the West of Paris.
With Dior Homme Intense, I bought my first fragrance a good year later, with which I still associate an entire period of life, unforgettable experiences and too many, too long nights and subsequent days.
Since a few weeks, after many years of DHI abstinence, I am again the owner of a bottle. Far too many years have passed, I myself am now more between zoologists, Indults and Frederick Malles and a few grey hairs have gotten lost on my head.
The love for DNA is still there. Enough has been written about the fragrance profile.
Dior Homme Intense is like a childhood memory for me today. When I think of frictions in the schoolyard that you had as a child with friends you still know today, people appear to me in my mind's eye as they look today. Vivid pictures of how friends, of whom I know what they look like at 30, looked like at 12, don't want to come to me. It's a bit like that with DHI. I know it was stronger, I think it was vanilla too. But maybe that's just because I'm into vanilla in the niche.
But maybe the scent was always like that and it was just an untrained, little spoiled, youthful nose, to which something really, really good happened, maybe the time was one with greater intensity, maybe it was 12 sprayers instead of the two that are today.
What remains is that the feeling of standing in the queue of a club at 18 with a cloud of vintage DHI will never exist again. Not the formulation, and not the years in which the special formulation of a perfume makes every special moment a little bit more beautiful.
In this sense - cherish moments, love perfume for the fact that it can help to keep them longer AND if you have a fragrance that you really love, where it is absolutely clear that it will be worn to all moments that can be special, should be - BUY YOUR BOTTLETS.
Your future-you will thank you for it.
