Dior Homme (2005)

Notes

Top notes

• Lavender Clean, herbal and slightly camphorous, with a soft floral sweetness.
• Sage Dry, herbal and camphorous, with a clean silvery bite.
• Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.

Heart notes

• Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.
• Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
• Cacao Dark, bittersweet and creamy cocoa.
• Pear Watery, sweet-green fruit with soft, rounded edges.

Base notes

• Vetiver Earthy, smoky, green root with a dry, grassy depth.
• Leather Dry, supple and slightly smoky, like worn hide.
• Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
