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.
Perfume Parlour's affordable swing at Dior Homme 2020, the clean woody crowd-pleaser. It hits the bergamot-pink pepper opening and that creamy cashmere-cedar-Iso E heart, but trades the original's polished projection and all-day reach for a softer, shorter wear.

Occasions
Its sophisticated iris and warm, rich accords make it perfect for formal events and dates, lending an elegant air. While some find it versatile enough for daily wear, its depth and 'statement' quality might be a bit much for a casual office setting.
Seasons
The clean, fresh-woody profile is a transitional all-rounder, shining in spring and autumn and holding up through milder winter days.
Occasions
Polished but inoffensive, it slips easily into office and daily wear while having enough refinement for dates and smarter occasions.
