Had really high hopes for this. Not saying this is nothing like the original. I never got a chance to try the original. Tried Dior Homme Intense though, and I loved it. I was hoping a stronger leathery version of that. But this is different.
You do get a slight leathery smell in the opening, which is what I wanted predominantly. But, about 5 minutes later, it moves away into a Rose scent. And it stays that way.
I didn’t go heavy on it, with just 2 sprays on my dress, I could get the rose note after 3-4 hours or so.
My untrained noses couldn’t distinguish iris notes or the other notes as well. It was mainly rose. Which is why I am reluctant to give 5 stars.
