I haven’t tried Dior Homme Intense, but this one doesn’t have lavender nor is it sweet, powdery, “lipsticky,” or syrupy. As someone else said, you get a bit of an orange element at first, then wait a few minutes and you get a dry iris/woody scent with a hint of spice. It’s definitely niche-like but not strong, though you can spray more and increase projection. If you want this type of niche idea but don’t want to spend much (mine was less than $10 for 75 ml, new), I don’t think you’ll be missing much here, other than a heavy dose of iso e super or cashmeran, which this one, thankfully, does not have! I could even imagine some saying this is a really light version of L’Air du Desert Marocain (the drydown in particular).

At first spray, smells like alcohol. Nothing special.
Then wait for about 5mins — and this will turn into a beautiful, fine iris woody scent.
I just love this one. Great release from Avon indeed.
Rating: 8.5/10

Avon Homme
The notes on the Avon site and on fragrantica are so different but here is what I get.
Up top after the alcohol dissipates I smell a strong citrus hit of mandarin and Bergamot with a bitter almost citrus peel undertone and something sweet as well, 5 minutes in and the iris comes to the front whilst the citrus takes back stage as a slight support system to the powdery iris, along with this iris there is Coriander and cardamom undertone which lends this scent a spicy freshness this lasts for a hour max before the base kicks in which is now a Smokey woody scent with a muted spicy kick.
This is what I think is the vetiver and cedarwood along with the coriander which gives Avon Homme its smoked woods drydown.
All in all a well composed and highly refined scent from Avon which is more of a scent for work environments that is if you work in an office and dress formal else this is just a good formal event scent it is not obtrusive nor attention screaming but it I is what it is and that is calm cool and collected.
A gentleman’s cologne with the price tag of a yard sale item.
One of avons best releases for men in recent years.
8 out of 10
Longevity- 5 to 6 hours.
Projection- arms length for the first hour thereafter a skin scent which can be smelt only at close encounters.

Sounds like we got a Dior homme clone here.
