A bianchiesque Dior Homme perfume?
In anticipation of vigorous rebuttal, I create this provocative thesis.

When I sprayed on the fragrance yesterday and today, I felt reminded of the good old Dior Homme DNA. For niche fans probably "the deep fall" of an artist, for me: a beautiful moment.

We all know her iris butter from her fragrances, which now evokes associations with Dior Homme perfume in my nose and on my skin at the top note for the first 1-2 hours. A sweet powdery iris note emerges. Amber, benzoin and woods complement the warmth. Nevertheless, arises in conjunction with castoreum also (for me only in the background) a slight animalism from, which we know from some other of their fragrances much more present.

Exactly this (for many known) interaction will perhaps disappoint the niche head.
"She sees herself as an artist, after all. Why such a known DNA?" But wasn't this DNA when it was launched also art? Why not play with a known DNA and give it a personal touch? (because this is still undoubtedly recognizable).

In my opinion, however, it reflects the interplay between Orient and Occident - or as she describes it "East meets West" - in an appropriate way.

In the progression to the base, the players recurring in her fragrances are recognizable, so that the longer the fragrance is worn, it is also more and more recognizable that this fragrance is also a bianchi fragrance.

Since other of their fragrances often oscillate between demanding and difficult, I think that this fragrance is suitable if you want to sniff into this niche brand for the first time. He does not overwhelm the nose in the prelude, but makes in its course some what you can also experience with their other fragrances.

For me, this fragrance is the ideal "beginner bianchi". For fans of their more strenuous works probably a work that chums up to the uniformed mainstream.

Honor the king of designers
Years ago I wrote a song of praise for the "little" brother.

Now it's time to give this fragrance the honor it deserves.

Was it possible after the Intense (no matter from which version), which was my favorite fragrance for years before, once again put a class on it?
It was possible: 2/3 Intense + leather and a pinch of wood; finished is a work of art.

King of the designers; yes, unfortunately also from the price.

One had to fear during the optical revision of the complete series for the introduction of DH2020 in the meantime that he disappears completely, but he is just like Dior Homme Original (until 2019 known as Dior Homme) at Dior directly to get.
In mainstream stores and online, the two otherwise make themselves quite scarce.
For a royal price of about 135€ for a designer, however, it is still available - now in a 100ml version.

This fragrance is the more adult and somewhat darker brother of the Dior Homme Intense.

Do you have to have both? I answer that with a clear: YES!
It is, in addition to the powdery makeup box, which you know from the DHI also stronger, it is heavier, it is a little woody and it is beautiful, but not too intrusive leather.

If you like fragrances - like me - something more expressive, so with more than just 3-4 sprays wears, then the late autumn and winter - so everything around the Christmas market season - is the perfect period to wear this fragrance.
If the lady then still wears something vanilla as a counterpoint you have together the perfect Christmas market combo and then only the mulled wine with shot is missing.

The shelf life is with me at loose 12 hours. In the first 4 notices him the environment even outside. Even in the windy, wet November you are addressed by the company at a walk through the streets, what you wear so beautiful today.
On the clothes and other objects he holds forever.

If I could keep only 3 fragrances, then he would be one of them.
Is it possible to buy it blind? If you like DHI, Valentino Uomo Intense or similar fragrances (can also imagine leather and woods well in the further course of the fragrance) then you can buy this fragrance blind.
Since he is hardly advertised and is mainly about Dior itself to get, I advise everyone: get him. It remains to fear that he disappears at some point and until then we all need at least 2 bunker flacons.

If he is too strong, you are too weak
Since I own all of the fragrances of the series that can be worn by men, I will build my comments for these fragrances similar.
Fragance One fragrances are known to be the fragrances of Youtuber Jeremy Fragrance.
In the case of public figures, of course, a devaluation of the person or the products is often given, if these people are contentious.

Presumably, to be considered in America, one had to market an expensive product. This seems to be one reason that the retail prices of his fragrances are nevertheless far above what I (presumably most) am willing to spend on such a fragrance.
I will price this fragrance as much as I actually spent on this and that was noticeably below 140 EUR, so it does not compete against niche sizes or wonderful fragrance compositions, which one would expect at its normal price of 329€.

Should you know Office or Date from him and consider (too) strong, stay away from this fragrance.
He has the "power" often mentioned by him, and especially if you wear more than 2-3 spritzes, this grows to a sick extent.

I once made me the fun to wear this fragrance in the evening in the outdoor restaurant in the Centro Oberhausen, when I was out with friends. One of my companions got sneezing fits, the one sitting opposite me also perceived him very strongly and the waitress also spoke to me on a yet very pentrant strong fragrance. This fragrance develops a strong projection and sillage.

Now to the fragrance, he meets exactly my taste and I find him great.

Craftsmanship, however, it is questionable for me that -apart from the synthetic-looking opening - it seems as if the Mr. Morillas in the first half of the fragrance has sold his composition 2x. Because after the moment of spraying on the first hours of the fragrance seems like a 3x as strong version of No Limits, then later prevail guaiac wood, a lot of leather and other things that make the fragrance for me very nice.
However, I can understand that you can be disappointed when you spend a lot of money on a fragrance and it behaves in the first half like a fragrance you could have for less money (you would just have to bathe in it to get a comparable vibe).
Out the back there are also strong Gucci Guilty Absolute vibes, this is also a fragrance that is not known to flatter a beginner's nose, which is probably why it was discontinued this year due to its sales figures (it can't be me, I still have 2 bottles).
Also a Morillasduft...how surprising.....
The fragrance lasts well over 12, rather 18 hours, on clothes or other things that come into contact with it, it lasts forever.

If the name Black Tie makes you think of a serious evening among businessmen, then the name of the fragrance is also misleading.
Presumably, the name should express something else, that this suit is rather the one who does not care what the others do or think about him, but he does what he wants, perhaps more in the direction of "American Psycho".
If I understood Jeremy correctly in his videos, he has mentioned more than 1x that the fragrance is too strong for him, so he does not wear the at all himself, however, his brother likes this fragrance.

I like this strong fragrance and I like to wear it (well so often not, but I also have over 100 fragrances). But if I wear it, then with the conscious feeling that it is perceived and not only positive, because I like that. I do not want to please everyone and I do not care how my environment feels about it.
I love fragrances with very very much power.

For me, the bottles are also in total contrast to what you want to spend with this product in such a price range.
The bottles and the packaging are well seen minimalist and have nothing to do with a luxury product.

Whether (D)a date will really be happy if you wear this fragrance?
Since I own all 4 of the fragrances portable for men, I will build my comments for these fragrances similar.
Fragance One fragrances are known to be the fragrances of Youtuber Jeremy Fragrance.
In the case of public figures, of course, there is often a devaluation of the person or the products, if these people are contentious.
I try to leave this out, sometimes I like him, sometimes his presentations are difficult to endure.

Presumably, to be considered in America, you had to market an expensive product. This seems to be one reason that the retail prices of his fragrances yet far above what I (probably most) am willing to spend for such a fragrance.

I will price this fragrance as much as I actually spent on this and that was noticeably below 100 EUR, so he does not compete against niche sizes or wonderful fragrance compositions, but is located at the designers and priced in Ultra Male price range.

From my point of view, this is also the fragrance with which he should compete most likely, which he in power and Perfomace (at least compared to the current version) effortlessly in the bag.

Unfortunately, therefore, from my point of view, the name "Date" is also completely out of place.

Yes, Jeremy is mainly aimed at teenagers as his audience and who takes his date out to McDonalds (or similar) needs a scent that outshines fry grease.

For me, this fragrance is more of a "club".

Under a date I understand with my advanced life experience that you can come closer than the 1.5m Corona distance and then the danger is given especially with careless dosage that the date can feel very quickly, very uncomfortable because of the strong sillage and charisma of this fragrance.
Ubrigens also the unisex has strong references to the Ultramale, he approaches the subject matter but differently and tells for my nose but a deeper and more varied story than the Date.

Therefore, I must say, who likes Ultramale and misses the "power" of the early years of this fragrance, which can and should confide in the Date times.
Who does not like Ultramale, which will also find nothing good in the Date.

And regarding the naming, the name "Date" is unfortunately inappropriate in my opinion.
For disco, party, festival and events that take place in the first 4 hours of wearing outside this fragrance is very good wearable, on a date you should but rather refrain from this fragrance, if you have outgrown the age at which this date takes place in the evening exclusively outside on a playground dependent.

For me, the bottles are also in total contrast to what you can expect with this product in such a price range. The bottles and the packaging are well seen, minimalist.
But this is in contrast to the price and the luxury product, what this should / will represent.

Jeremy's draft horse, an all-rounder and signature scent for beginners
Since I own all of the men's wearable scents in the series, I'll build my comments for those scents similarly.

Fragance One fragrances are known to be the fragrances of Youtuber Jeremy Fragrance.
In the case of public figures, of course, there is often a devaluation of the person or the products when these people are contentious.

I will price this fragrance as much as I actually spent on this and that was noticeably under 100 EUR, so he does not compete against niche sizes or wonderful fragrance compositions, but is with the designers and priced in the Sauvage and Acqua di Gio price range

The fragrance Office is exactly what it says on the bottle.

It is a fresh office fragrance (optionally with its target audience also for school, vocational school or university), from my point of view, it is the fragrance for its target audience and not just coincidentally the draught horse of its fragrance series.
Jeremy is often looked at by teenagers and fragrance beginners because of its range and for exactly these the fragrance seems designed.

The fragrance is fresh and ambroxane-heavy and it doesn't even try to cover up that it wants to flatter Aventus, Sauvage, AdG profumo wearers, because it joins them in that direction

Due to its light sweetness for beginners easier to wear than Aventus and at least as loud as the Sauvage EdT.
All these fragrances are so successful because they are fresh and can be used anywhere, whether office/school, leisure or evening and thus can be something like a signature scent for fragrance beginners and that's what I trust this fragrance to be. He could be a signature fragrance for a beginner.
Like the other fragrances I just compared it to, it is perfect for people whose fragrance collection does not exceed 3 or 5.

He has "strength" and "power", his perfomace is right. For fragrance beginners or younger people in a phase in search of security and reassurance, it is important to have a positive effect on others. This fragrance is designed so that it does not stand out negatively to the masses.
Most noses will find it pleasant and so it will create a positive external effect.
However, since it is an ambroxan bomb, there is a risk of overdose.
I myself like to wear very strong fragrances and therefore I must advise everyone who is out for compliments that "Much does not always help much".
It can then be that one then only "stands out" instead of "positively stands out".

For me, the bottles are also in total contrast to what you want to spend with this product in such a price range. The bottles and the packaging are well seen, minimalist.
But this is in contrast to the price and the luxury product, what this should / will represent.
