Dior Homme Intense 2011

Beautiful, pleasant, smooth almost chocolate-like scent, a perfection of all-round musk/fruitiness. And wow, does it last long. I still got hints of lavender and pear after 6 hours when I woke up alone in an apartment in Paris. The dry down is fantastic and only leaves the scent notes you want others to smell, especially the powdery iris and amber/wood. Rather than compliments, you'll get sniffs. The more unwarranted the better. Definitely not an everyday scent for me, but I love wearing it on a night out. 8.5/10
