What do reviewers say about Iris Empire and Dior Homme Parfum?
This is the iris fragrance for someone who wants powder and dark. Not the powder of soap, but of pressed starch and velvet. The leather-chocolate drydown shifts it from floral into something with.Iris Empire
Dior Homme Parfum takes the original and amps the intensity. The iris feels richer, the leather deeper, and the oud gives it serious weight. This is Dior Homme for men who have arrived.Dior Homme Parfum
