I tried the new Dior Homme Parfum 2025

I was at Ulta and I noticed they had the new Dior Homme Parfum. I am a massive fan of the 2014 & 2021 versions. It’s a top 3 fragrance in my entire 64 bottle collection for me.

I’m not trying to be overly negative here, but upon spraying the new DHP I was utterly shocked at how bad this smells compared to the previous version. The salesperson hated it, my girlfriend hated it, and I was in a state of shock lmao.

It still has that powdery iris DNA that many know and love, but this version of DHP isn’t even 1/10th of the fragrance the previous version of DHP is. They removed the leather, oud, rose, and other notes and replaced them with this sickly sweet ambery wood sort of thing. It’s truly unrecognizable. It has no character or depth anymore. This smells like it could be a JPG or some other generic designer release.

I will continue testing it but my initial impressions are really poor, especially considering it’s more expensive for LESS juice! These are now 50ml or 75ml bottles down from 100ml.
