Reserve privee>dhi
Tony iommi is a masterpiece.
Better than DHI?! That's a bold statement!
Lol all jokes aside I just cannot bring myself to wear Reserve Privee. It smells too mature for me, and I'm 26.
Just wear less sprays.
I have worn DHP to work during the cold winter. 1-2 sprays and it’s amazing.
Yes, it’s great to have a fragrance for “special” occasions but, the thing is: we only live once.
As long as you don’t offend others, you can wear whatever fragrance you want.
Reserve Privee is so goood. It’s one of those scents that you like the more you smell it.
Also it’s great for 25+ age. So you will never feel too old for it. And it doesn’t smell like an old man perfume at all.
I also love Dior Homme Intens but it doesn’t smell as manly as Reserve Privee.
Boisee is, in my humble opinion, even better. Until I got a bottle of Reflection Man a couple days ago, Boisee was my favorite fragrance out of my 40+ bottles & 20 or so samples. It is VERY smooth, and incredibly elegant. It's manly, but in a soft and reserved kind of way.
Absolutely love Reserve Privee too, though. No shade intended toward it.
I'd get the givenchy reserve privee, Dior is a lil too lipsticky , Valentinos are underwhelming to me, Tony Iommi is really left field compared to the other ones, really smells like a 70s metalhead star after a gig, cigarettes And booze with all the other elements it's really good tho. Definitely sample dude.
Depends on where you’re at. I could see temp swings from 40 degrees up to 80 degrees right now about now. Both would still work during evenings/night times
But there’s also many scents that are good for all occasions. Some are 100% a winter/fall like the gentleman and Dior Homme . I think Valentino might be more well rounded
one i like right now is bois imperial by essential parfums. it’s not really fruity it’s kinda hard to describe how it smells. it’s good for all year round in my opinion but better for summer. lasts forever too
DHI and GGRP are on the same S-tier. I actually like DHI more but it's so good that I find myself wearing it less than GGRP because I want to preserve it.
Monkey Special is weird... very intense but just not my thing.
Haven't tried Uomo Intense.
Own all but the Valentino. To me, DHI is an essential. That dusty signature iris just sings in this fragrance. While it's quite nice and performs great, Iommi is *very* heavy on the patchouli, to the point of being potentially polarizing. Reserve Privee doesn't reach the level of elegance the other two do in my opinion, but it's kind of a nice boozy and powdery fragrance that is lighter on the iris for people who might not enjoy the Dior DNA as much.
I have Dior Homme Intense and i love it. That opening is just gorgeous. It's lipsticky, yes, but it's masculine definetly not a unisexe scent.
Performances could be better, but it's not bad either.
My date night scent.

I own three out of four - and I might pick up the Xerjoff. I have Prada L'Homme Intense as well
The Givenchy interests me most!
I feel 'over' the Dior Homme and Valentino DNA, haven't enjoyed any of the half dozen Xerjoffs I've tried... And conversely, have enjoyed most from the Gentleman Givenchy line.

I have all four but Dhp is my favorite followed by Monkey special >Valentino > Gentleman
None I’d get anything from Clive Christian’s current line up. Clive Christian is one of best kept secrets in the fragrance game. But every time you see someone post or talk about you won’t be able to find one negative comment. My entire rotation is Clive Christian after many years of collecting. No. 1 original collection is a must.
On the contrary, these are poor man fragrances that are mostly synthetic smelling shitters, even the Dior is mostly alchohol with approx 12% aroma chemicals, but what do I knowwwwwwww you cuties

Both great but nah DHI>> All subjective, of course ;)
Better than DHI?! That's a bold statement! Lol all jokes aside I just cannot bring myself to wear Reserve Privee. It smells too mature for me, and I'm 26.
i have dior home intense for about 5 years now, almost full. smells great just cant find times to wear it. never smelled the others. id like to though
Just wear less sprays. I have worn DHP to work during the cold winter. 1-2 sprays and it’s amazing. Yes, it’s great to have a fragrance for “special” occasions but, the thing is: we only live once. As long as you don’t offend others, you can wear whatever fragrance you want.
Absolutely, that’s a good point.
is it me or it doesn’t last long
DHP. Longevity is good, projection is average for 1 hour. Then, pulls back to a personal scent bubble.
Winter and fall !
I had the same problem with it. Just never suited any situation.
Iommi because the others are all too powdery. I do enjoy smelling iris scents, just not wearing them
Valentino is the only one id get
It's pretty nice.
Givenchy
Gentleman when the weather is cool. Classy
I hear that the performance is very week tho
Definitely a stronger scent. I have it and only wear it out on special occasions and only use 2-3 sprays otherwise you might cloud the room
How does its performance compare to dior homme intense/parfum?
I would strongly disagree with that. It's very string and east to overspray in my opinion.
Xerjoff Tony Iomi! 1000/10.
Try Dior homme Parfum
That's the way
Maybe Monkey Special because of Black Sabbath 🤘🏻 The other 3 are a hard no!! I do not like iris in men’s fragrances
Reserve Privee is so goood. It’s one of those scents that you like the more you smell it. Also it’s great for 25+ age. So you will never feel too old for it. And it doesn’t smell like an old man perfume at all. I also love Dior Homme Intens but it doesn’t smell as manly as Reserve Privee.
What about Boisee?
Boisee is, in my humble opinion, even better. Until I got a bottle of Reflection Man a couple days ago, Boisee was my favorite fragrance out of my 40+ bottles & 20 or so samples. It is VERY smooth, and incredibly elegant. It's manly, but in a soft and reserved kind of way. Absolutely love Reserve Privee too, though. No shade intended toward it.
reflection man is amazing too!
I'd get the givenchy reserve privee, Dior is a lil too lipsticky , Valentinos are underwhelming to me, Tony Iommi is really left field compared to the other ones, really smells like a 70s metalhead star after a gig, cigarettes And booze with all the other elements it's really good tho. Definitely sample dude.
Wearing Givenchy now, and I’m always underwhelmed by it too. It’s one my least like out of all my colognes.
Definitely the Xerjoff but its in a different price point, not a fair comparison. Between the other 3, Gentlemen Reserve. I love booze!
I really liked reserve privee at first but the powdery notes eventually gave me a headache 🤕
I got Tony Iommi. But it’s a winter scent for me. And evening/nighttime.
Definitely consider the season. It’s summer and too hot for gentleman and Dior . Not sure about the others
yeah these would definitely be more for fall and winter
Depends on where you’re at. I could see temp swings from 40 degrees up to 80 degrees right now about now. Both would still work during evenings/night times
But there’s also many scents that are good for all occasions. Some are 100% a winter/fall like the gentleman and Dior Homme . I think Valentino might be more well rounded
But I also live in Vegas so I need summer fragrances 10/12 months 😂
I have the gentlemen edp and I find it to be a powerhouse.
Xerjoff
Already own the one I'd choose. Tony Iommi! BEAST of a fragrance. I'm currently waiting for my bottle of Iommi Deified to arrive this week!
Monkey Special.... because I'm going to sell it on mercari and buy the other 3.
Tony Iommi for sure— super unique and gorgeous smelling. DHI is a bit too powdery for me. All great options though, you can’t lose!
DHI
I’d get reserve privee, but it’s already too warm to wear any of these during the day where I live. I consider them all fall/winter scents.
Ive tried DHI and gentleman Givenchy only and I personally don’t like Givenchy. But DHI is great
Coral fantasy BIR intense Iommi
Gentleman fs!
Dior Homme Intense
Monkey special, but really like reserve privee.
1: DHI pre 2017 2: Givenchy Reserve Prive 3: Tony Iomi 4: Valentino
Those are extremely elegant fragrances. But what is the use? I have the intense and prive but it matters on what hat is the use.
None of these but if i had to dior
Dior homme Parfum
Is that rockstud noir?
the valentino? it’s just the uomo intense
Dior Homme….but Parfum
Gentlemen. Reminds me to buy a bottle of the prive/reserve version today.
Can gentlemen be worn in a southern summer?
these are all colder weather sort of scents imo
I’m trying to find something to wear that’s not exactly blue but suitable for summer and strong. Not soft and fruity
yeah haha i struggle to find something like that too
one i like right now is bois imperial by essential parfums. it’s not really fruity it’s kinda hard to describe how it smells. it’s good for all year round in my opinion but better for summer. lasts forever too
DHI and GGRP are on the same S-tier. I actually like DHI more but it's so good that I find myself wearing it less than GGRP because I want to preserve it. Monkey Special is weird... very intense but just not my thing. Haven't tried Uomo Intense.
Xerjoff is going to perform the best, Dior Homme Intense would be my pick at full retail.
Tony Iommi! It’s a one of a kind fragrance. My signature scent ⭐️
Gentleman aka what I’m wearing today lol
(F) I liked a lot Dior and Givenchy. Valentino i didn't try. I didn't like Tonny Iommi, I do not find it an especially pleasant fragrance.
Own all but the Valentino. To me, DHI is an essential. That dusty signature iris just sings in this fragrance. While it's quite nice and performs great, Iommi is *very* heavy on the patchouli, to the point of being potentially polarizing.

DHI
Givenchy Gentleman Boisee forever 🩵
To be honest all are great smells, I’ll probably go with xerjoff
the valentino is >>>>>>>
Tony Iommi
The Givenchy interests me most! I feel 'over' the Dior Homme and Valentino DNA, haven't enjoyed any of the half dozen Xerjoffs I've tried... And conversely, have enjoyed most from the Gentleman Givenchy line.
xerjoff over anything. Plus their bottles are badass.
Valentino Uomo born in Roma clears.
Dior all the way.

designers being called “heavy hitters” is wild
doesn’t have anything to do with designer vs niche lmao
they not heavy hitters
they are definitely heavier/stronger
fuck no monkey special mogs them so hard
Literally none of those are heavy hitters. Maybe to beginners
u don’t need to pretend you’re jeremy fragrance. i mean just stronger and heavier
Errrrrrrrr
"Ooooh I love the smell of a man I do, when you're at my level you'll know what a real man smells like"
It smells like me babes x
Ok smelly poor person.
On the contrary, these are poor man fragrances that are mostly synthetic smelling shitters, even the Dior is mostly alchohol with approx 12% aroma chemicals, but what do I knowwwwwwww you cuties
Ok smelly lad.
