    Real talk

    Powdery florals with an animalic kick. The rum opening surprises, but it's the civet that stays with you, threaded through the heart, refusing to let the iris go pretty.Optus V
    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
