The Essence Vault Di Homme - 106 is an Eau de Parfum. Di Homme - 106 opens with Bergamot and Lavender, settles into a heart of Dark Chocolate and Iris, and dries down to a base of Leather and Amber. The Essence Vault's Di Homme - 106 carries a Statement verdict, a powdery-led wear.

A recognisable nod to Dior Homme's revolutionary powdery iris-and-cacao pairing, though No. 106 flattens the original's cool, lipstick-like iris into something softer and less distinctive, with a shorter-lived leather base.

About

No. 106 centres on the same iris-and-cacao heart that made Dior Homme a genre-defining launch in men's perfumery, softened here with leather and a hint of gourmand warmth. The original's iris is famously cool and almost cosmetic, sitting against dark chocolate and a grounded leather-vetiver-patchouli base that lasts deep into the evening. This dupe's iris reads powdery but less sharp, and the leather base fades earlier, leaving a simpler, sweeter impression overall. It still communicates the quiet, understated elegance that defines the original's appeal, just as a lighter, shorter-wearing interpretation suited to everyday use rather than all-day formal wear.
