No.196 Homme Intense EDP

Which Should You Buy?
Still the reference iris for men, Dior Homme Intense is plush, elegant, and sensual. Its creamy iris and woody musks create a refined aura that is both comforting and strikingly modern.
Eden's No.196 keeps Dior Homme Intense's signature lavender-iris-vanilla skeleton intact, delivering that powdery, almost suede-like warmth for a fraction of the cost - it just doesn't hold the original's silky, long-haul depth.
