Also if you do go that route make sure its the sport version they have another called Dark Door Intense and that's a Dior Homme Intense clone.

Dark Door Intense should be compared to DHI.

I have the MA Dark Door Intense which is the DHI clone, smells incredible imo, I love the powdery feeling of it, it has a 1 hour or so projection and 3-4 hours of longitivity, tho I can smell it on my jacket even after a day or two cuz I keep spraying on it over and over cuz I don't wash the jacket

Dark Door Intense so amazing in the opening - truly close to DHI, but yes, after 4 hours it's gone..
