D. Homme Parfum
(2014)

While store shelves have long been filled with the new 2025 reformulation, which has almost nothing left in common with the original Homme DNA, prices on marketplaces for a vintage 75 ml bottle of the 2014 version start at €300 and will only continue to rise over time. In my surge of interest in iris materials, I decided to study them in more detail by recreating this vintage.

I once heard a saying: “What’s the difference between a dude and a man? A dude smells like a dude, but a man smells like a woman…”. This perfume is exactly about that — the scent of a woman on a man. But unlike the subtle, lipstick-like femininity of Homme Intense, this one still remains a man thanks to its leather and woody notes.

Olfactory profile: floral, woody, leathery, sweet.
Concentration: parfum.
