Bois d'Argent vs Dior Homme Intense 2011

Bois d'Argent is appreciated for its refined, unique woody-smoky scent character and decent longevity, but the community consensus is that it lacks the projection and sillage expected for its price point. Many express disappointment with the modern reformulation compared to the original 2004 version, and debate whether the expensive bottle size justifies the subtle performance.

The r/fragrance community holds the 2011 original formulation of Dior Homme Intense in high regard as a genuine masterpiece and benchmark fragrance. The consensus strongly favors the original over current reformulations, which are perceived as inferior. Vintage bottles command significant collector premiums, reflecting their desirability and rarity in the secondary market.
