Dior Homme Parfum 2025 Parfum vs No.426 Bois d'Argent Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This one's caused a right old kerfuffle. Half the punters reckon it's a modern masterpiece, a mass-appealing update that leaves the original in the dust. The other half? Well, let's just say they're not shy about calling it a disgrace, a generic 'iris-bomb' that's lost its soul. You'll either love it or hate it, there's no sitting on the fence here.
No.426 pursues Dior's Bois d'Argent, keeping the cool iris-cypress-juniper opening and suede-tinged woody base recognisable, but rendering the myrrh-patchouli heart and the luxurious suede accord notably thinner and less textured than the Maison Christian Dior original.
