Which Should You Buy?
A dark, supremely refined statement of masculine elegance. Dior Homme Eau de Parfum is for those who appreciate iris at its most velvety and leather at its most supple. Not for the timid-this is signature-worthy, complex, and unforgettable.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Its opulent, powdery iris, dense leather, and rich woody base make it ideal for cold and transitional seasons, where the warmth and depth bloom best. Too heavy for hot summer days, but perfect for fall and especially winter.
Occasions
Its bold, elegant presence and luxurious sillage make it outstanding for formal events and special evenings. It is less suited for office or daytime casual wear, and far too rich for sport or gym situations.
