Dior Homme Sport 2017
by Dior
Dior Homme Sport 2017 presents a refined, clean citrus fragrance with a bright blood orange and grapefruit opening, smoothly transitioning into a spicy, aromatic heart with pink pepper and nutmeg. The base is soft and creamy, dominated by sandalwood and vetiver, giving a masculine yet elegant drydown. The scent is universally flattering and highly wearable throughout spring and summer, with a moderate sillage and no overwhelming headroom. It behaves especially well in warm weather and is well-suited for office, casual outings, or gym use. Despite some nostalgia for the previous iris and ginger-laden versions, this formulation stands as a subtle, polished upgrade—infusing modern freshness while maintaining Dior's signature sophistication. The performance is moderately strong, lasting up to 8 hours on skin and even longer on clothing, though some find its projection more intimate than bold.
