Which Should You Buy?
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.
No.190 goes after Dior Homme's signature lavender-iris-cocoa structure, opening sharp and aromatic before settling into that powdery, almost cosmetic iris heart the original is famous for. It's softer and shorter-lived than the Dior formula but the lavender-to-iris transition, the part people actually dupe this fragrance for, comes through clearly.
