Dior Homme 2020

Dior Homme is a good, expensive-smelling fragrance, but with caveats. The basic problem with this scent is poor performance. It fades quickly, and it doesn't project much. It's like a sketch, while Homme Intense is an oil painting.

I also take issue with the composition. What I can smell is mainly peppery cedar (which I find irritating, unfortunately, not only in this perfume, but also in others), the rest is a background. This makes the scent rather one-dimensional, like a head without a body, and dry, probably best worn when sweating. Behind this, there is gentle, musky sweetness to it. I would prefer more of it at the forefront.

Overall, the vibe is very minimalistic and understated, and at the same time focused, aggressive, angry even. I imagine Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter, dressed either all in black or not all, would enjoy the fragrance.
