    What do reviewers say about Dior Homme Parfum and Obsidian?

    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
    Obsidian keeps surprising me. The iris and citrus opening feels delicate, then leather dominates and refuses to apologize. By the drydown it settles into something refined and contemplative.Obsidian
