Our Verdict - Dior Homme 2005 EDT

A legendary, if divisive, classic. Dior Homme 2005 is a rich, iris-led stunner that dared to challenge masculine norms. Expect a sophisticated, somewhat powdery embrace that captivated many, but definitely isn't for everyone. Its discontinuation and subsequent reformulations only cemented its mythical status.
