How Does Dior Describe it?
Here is the product description, “Dior Homme Eau de Toilette is intriguingly powerful and appealingly fresh.
Dior Homme redefines a new, masculine sensuality with its composition of smooth and raw wood. In the heart notes of tender wood lies the virility of Atlas Cedar embracing the enveloping warmth of Haitian Vetiver tinged with spices. The wood is chiseled in-house at Dior.
Dior Homme conveys all the facets of modern masculinity. A man, yes, but a man of many nuances: confident in both his strength and his tenderness. Dior Homme Eau de Toilette’s bold scented trail leaves a sensual imprint.”
What Does Dior Homme Smell Like?
This is a sweet, woody fragrance. The first spray is the brightest of the entire wear, but it’s not invigorating. Dior Homme becomes warmer and warmer.
In the end, it is all about masculine and comforting vibes.
When I think of this fragrance, I think of a young, handsome, and confident doctor. That’s the idea that Dior Homme has going for it.
Simply put, it smells like it knows what it wants.

Dior Homme EDT Performance
How Long Does Dior Homme 2020 Last?
Eight to ten hours, this is one of the most consistent performers in my collection. If I spray this on before I go out for the day, I’m guaranteed to catch wafts of it when I return home.
Most of the wear has a three-foot scent bubble that is attention-grabbing but doesn’t shout for attention. The same can be said about the length of a scent trail this leaves.
Is Dior Homme Versatile?
Dior Homme is the most versatile fragrance for men, and I will stand on that hill. If you’re looking for a fragrance you can grab and go, this is the best choice for you.
No matter the season or occasion, it works. It is classiest enough to stand out when you need it to but casual enough to blend in when you need it to.
This is so versatile that you don’t have to change your spray routine depending on the time of the year.
Is Dior Homme EDT Unique?
Yes, but it’s also extremely simple. Few other fragrances on the market have the same scent profile.
However, this gets the most heat from being so simple. Yet, in my mind, a cologne is either good or bad; why does it matter if it’s simple?
Does Dior Homme Get Compliments?
Yes. It is complimented and likable. On my most complimented fragrance list, Dior Homme 2020 ranks fifth out of all fragrances.
Is Dior Homme EDT Worth It?
Yes, Dior Homme 2020 is worth it. The smell and performance are excellent, with a similar price point to other designer fragrances like Dior Sauvage and Bleu de Chanel. Dior Homme 2020 is a must-have for any fragrance collection.
How do The People Rate Dior Homme 2020?
Don’t just trust me; what do the masses think? This information is pulled from fragrantica.com. Providing a general estimate of what others think.
At the time of writing (January 2024), Homme EDT has 5,499 votes with a rating of 4.08 stars out of 5. Based on the cost-for-value metric, it is rated as neutral.
Here are the top three pros and cons:
PROS
- Pleasant woody and peppery scent
- Unique all-purpose fragrance
- Fantastic scent
CONS
- Change in formulation from original scent
- Not as complex or warm as other Dior Homme fragrances
- Lack of personality or authenticity
The last con was not highly rated. It had more downvotes than upvotes.
Dior Homme History
Before Dior Homme 2020 launched, two other Dior Homme’s were on the market. The 2005 and 2011 versions, the 2011 version was a reformulation of 2005. Both grew to mass popularity because of their prominent iris notes.
As I said before, Dior Homme 2020 changed everything. Dior decided to exclude the prominent iris note and create a more simplistic smell.
Not only was Dior Homme 2020 reformulated, but Dior took it in a different direction. Most of the fragrance community was shocked. It wasn’t because it was a horrible fragrance but it didn’t meet expectations.
Soon after, Dior discontinued Dior Homme original.
In 2020, Dior released an Intense and Parfum version. In 2021, Dior launched a sport version. And in 2022, released Dior Homme Cologne. It is the newest from the Dior Homme line. None of the three will be reviewed in this article – another post.
*Note: Dior Homme Intense and Parfum versions are not for sale in the United States but are in most of Europe. Through discounter websites, the Intense version is able to be purchased, but not the Parfum version.
My Experience With Dior Homme EDT
At first, I didn’t think I would like Dior Homme, and that’s not because it’s a reformulation of the old one. It’s so wearable and simple that I thought it was boring at first.
As I wore it more, I came to enjoy wearing it as it is the perfect fragrance for a sweatshirt and jeans when you’re in a rush, so you spray and go.
In short, I love having Dior Homme in my collection and will replace my bottle with a new one when the current one runs out.
