Originally Posted by zztopp Iris has various scent patterns, and the "make-up" bag aroma is one of them.

There was an interview with Mauric Roucel, the perfumer, which stated this fact.

Another one to try is Hermes Hiris, which is sweeter, but not in the Dior Homme way. And ofcourse MPG Iris Bleu Gris, a raw rooty iris. All are superior to Dior Homme (Iris Silver Mist especially so - it smells like the sum of all aforementioned iris fragrances. Its a serious Iris scent). Well now, Silver Mist is an superb fragrance (I dig the smell - earthy, extremely chic) but it wears a little flat compared to Dior Homme, which evolves from the time you put it on until it goes way. For what it's worth, Dior Homme uses the same quality iris found in Chanel's Cuir de Russie, Iris Silver Mist, and Iris Poudre. I'm sure it was made available to Oliver Polge largely in part because of his father's influence. The fragrance is as serious and monomaniacally focused as it gets. There are few to match its quality and construction. I love the shit.

Answer:
If the new Dior is supposed to hit the streets here in North America around
1 June, then might it be released sooner in Europe?
Do any of our EU basenoters know if this is the case?
Grazie mille!

Was this just for the US? It hasn't happened here in Canada. What about Europe?

Answer:
Any idea if Hedi Slimane had anything to do with the new up-and-coming Dior Homme(s), considering he's no longer at Dior?

Answer:
I've heard that the new version may hit the shelves before June 1st.
Do any of our European basenoters know if this has been released yet?
There may not be a big ad campaign for this as my source said the Dior rep gave out he info on the new version only as the SAs were leaving the info session.
