The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021 and crafted by François Demachy, Dior Homme Original offers a contemporary interpretation of classic masculinity. The fragrance opens with the distinctive freshness of Tuscan iris, which immediately sets a crisp and refined tone. This is complemented by the rich warmth of Guatemalan cardamom, adding a spicy depth to the composition. The base note of vetiver grounds the scent with its earthy, woody character, creating a harmonious blend that feels both modern and lasting.
Apply this fragrance lightly to allow its nuanced layers to unfold naturally. The iris opening is bright but fleeting, so it's best applied in the morning for optimal longevity. As the cardamom and vetiver base notes emerge over time, they provide a warm and earthy presence that lasts throughout the day.

François Demachy
Dior's guardian of dreamsFrançois Demachy is the in-house perfumer-creator at Christian Dior, a title that places him among the most influential noses in the world. Born in Cannes and raised in Grasse — the historic capital of perfumery — he carries the craft in his blood.
“Early on, I memorised a whole host of notes without even realising it. I could recognise moss and flowers. My nose educated itself.”
