The sturdy, sparsely architectural and truly gorgeous bottle contradicts the gentle nature that hides within its heavy glass confines. Dior Homme is the most elegant masculine cologne to come out of the Christian Dior studio in a while and it has us wrapped round its little finger!

The powdery, creamy, yet also clean ambience of precious rhizomes of iris are laced around deliciously spicy notes of cardamom and traditionally masculine notes of lavender for a composition which oscillates between the coziness of an eiderdown duvet and the posh tan leather insides of a Buick. Beautiful, serene and enveloping.
