what's happening everyon, Max Forti here with another video. 15 years ago
Hermes gave us a fragrance called Terre D'Hermes and since then we have not had a standalone or
new masculine release except for flankers over the past 15 years and today i'm going to share
with you their latest in H24 which is the latest masculine release from Hermes if
you guys want to know all about this fragrance release stick around it's coming up right now
Welcome back to the fragrance review i'm Max Forti today we're talking about the new H24
by Hermes. This particular fragrance release as you can see i got the 50ml it's available in
two sizes it is an EDT and it is the new standalone fragrance release for man
since 2006 when they had Terre D'Hermes two main sizes 50ml which is the one i got here
recyclable case sustainability refillable bottles all that good stuff which you can read at hermes.com
i'll have it linked below and the 50ml will run for $80 or if you go with 100ml which is the
size up it will run $105, the box itself is going to be this cement gray kind of a vibe nothing to it with
this little lime green kind of a lining going around the box the bottle itself has
this really cool contour the batch code is going to be etched in a glass right here my batch code
is going to be just for those crazy batch code people out there: 02712 the
cap is going to be metal with the plastic lining not very heavy, the sprayers are actually pretty good
i'm actually wearing this today it is my scent of the day i have the dry down on my hands as well
on this test strip here we're going to get into the fragrance itself what it smells like longevity
performance and all that good stuff. So the opening here right off the bat is going to be very bright
very sparkly very fizzy very green a little bit herbal when you look at the note breakdown
it's very simple but there's a lot more note to this fragrance of course as we all know
fragrance brands will not list every single note they're going to give you like the main structure
the main spinal cord of the scent if you will with the pyramid top mids and
heart and base notes but all in all there is going o be citruses up top lemon limes or perhaps
grapefruit it is very uplifting and bright in the beginning which doesn't stay on for too long
it is after all an aromatic green scent the nose behind this one here is going to be Christine Nagel
which is following the footsteps of one incredible master perfumer Jean-claude
Ellena so you can definitely attest in this fragrance right off the bat if you follow
Jean-Claude Ellena's work she definitely took notes and she's definitely trying to pay homage
or stay within those terrains, the Jean-Claude Ellena years is definitely present
here it's going to be herbal it's going to be green it's going to be a little fruity there are
some abstract components here like the metallic notes that we'll talk about in the beginning
but all in all definitely something that i've smelled before it's not groundbreaking it's not
trendsetter and it's not anything brand new the good news is it's not going to be umbroxan-based
it's not going to be another blue scent it's not following footsteps to the trends the Eau Savages
Bleu de Chanels, vanilla, tonka, umbroxan, none of that stuff is present here which
is quite good news perhaps what i'm getting here up top that green fruity nuance that i'm talking
about it's probably borrowed elements from this fragrance here from 2009 which is Concentre D'orange Verte
from their signature collection i definitely get that green
orangey fruity kind of a vibe in this particular fragrance especially in the beginning
within the first 40 minutes or so that will kind of go into the background it's going
to be there but it's not going to be as present anymore as it was in the first 30 to 40 minutes
now once you get into the heart of the fragrance narcissus note plays a very key role in the fragrance
given this floral sweet kind of a nuance a little bit yellowish think jasmine think
hyacinth those kind of floral notes are what i'm getting here in the heart which is quite good
but also gives this androgynous kind of feel to the fragrance even though this was geared toward
masculine public i definitely can see a lady pulling this off quite nice in fact i think
a lot more ladies will like this fragrance more than guys will and you'll understand that
as we talk more about this fragrance so this the floral aspect that i'm talking about here
this yellow tinge sweet floral aspect kind of like a hyacinth kind of like a jasmine feel
a little bit sweet with the hyacinth narcissus kind of a feel is very predominant here in the
middle of the fragrance and the heart of the scent as we get into the base you know the
dry down of the fragrance i couldn't help but notice tons of familiarities and similarities to
this fragrance to a lot of other frequencies that i've tried before especially from the house of
hermes and by that i'm talking about the Jardin collection in particular Un Jardin Sur Le Nil or
Un Jardin Sur Le Toit i think the vegetal vibe that the vegetable kind of a feel the tomato that you
have i think tomato leaf in one of these so the herbal components the green the vegetable kind of
you know garden kind of a feel that you get with those fragrances very
abstracted watercolor feel that we get with those fragrances from Jean-Claude Ellena i think
i really feel that Christina Nagel took notes and inspiration in those Jardin fragrances in
fact i think H24 could have easily been one of the creations from Un Jardin Collection
i think they could have easily made this fragrance into those Jardin Collections i think it
could have been another iteration of that collection the only difference that i see
here from the green nuances the herbal nuances the vegetable nuances is the green
herbal feel is going to be that metallic vibe that you get with this fragrance especially now
as you get into the base of the scent the note of sclarine which was created synthetically
to be a part of this composition adds this mineral/metallic vibe to the fragrance which is nice
i don't particularly love it but it's quite nice and it's quite different it is a different thing
that's done in this fragrance which actually made it quite unique i would also like to
talk about the rosewood that's infused in this fragrance which adds this nice woody floral nuance
again the woodiness here is not going to be the earthy kind of woodiness it's not going to be dark
it's not going to be dense or too deep it's going to be more of a faint woodiness that you get
with this rosewood that's infused in here it's ever so faint it's more in the background i think
the green the vegetable nuances the herbal feel is definitely up front and center along with the
narcissus floral note that i talked about last but not least what i do also get in this fragrance is
a very nice clean and crisp soapy feel especially from the mid into the dry down so if you like
soapy clean crisp fragrances this is definitely going to be one of thos. Three words that i would
use to summarize the new H24 by Hermes: it's going to be green, it's going to be modern and it's
going to be a casual type of a scent. Talking about performance this is an eau de toilette normally
edt fragrances are very good for projection it does project quite nice for two to three hours
if you spray your garment it's gonna push quite nice longevity is about six to seven hours a
day's work which is kind of like what i need with my fragrances this is great for office
wear, a great place to wear this particular fragrance, casual, office is perfect
seasons due to the profile the greenness of the floral aspect i think this is
a perfect spring scent which is coming up ahead i don't think this is dark enough or deep enough to
wear when it gets cold especially here where i live but if you're somewhere where the tropical
weather is what you get throughout the year this will be a great signature scent if you're looking
for one but all in all for me it's going to be great for spring and good for the summer season
ages is something to think about this is not going to be for everyone it's not mass appealing
it's not something that i can see younger guys gravitating towards and having this as a regular
"reach for" fragrance in their fragrance wardrobe i think this is definitely more mature i'd say 25
and up even 30 and up at times but it is nice that i think ladies would appreciate this due to that
floral aspect in the fragrance so i think it's definitely androgynous so more people will like
this fragrance but it's also more mature which for that i think it's not going to be playful youthful
which means i think people 25 and under are not going to really gravitate towards this fragrance
there's no vanilla there's no tonka there's nothing of those sweet and playful elements
that we're used to when we're looking at more playful and youthful fragrances so 25 and up for
sure it's going to be great for casual wear great for office wear running errands day wear for sure
is what this fragrance is about you can dress it up a little bit although i don't think perhaps you
know a suit and a tie or t-shirt and a tie will do good but i think if you're all backed out for
like evening wear i don't think this is dark or or mysterious enough to um accommodate those you
know more central seasons if you will or occasion so i think it's great for day wear casual office
perfect for this particular fragrance. So my final thoughts on H24 by the house of Hermes this is
actually a very nice release i think it's really good it's not great like i said i love the fact
that they released something that's not following the trends with your blue scents or sweet vanilla
tonka ambroxan type of a fragrance that is a good thing however it's not a trendsetter
groundbreaking type of a fragrance by any stretch of the imagination in fact it's not
one of my favorites Hermes fragrances of all time if you have to compare this to
Terre D'Hermes i like Terre D'Hermes and that particular collection more than i like this new scent
good thing is this is androgynous i think ladies will also enjoy this it is however more mature but
definitely worth checking out if you don't own anything from the Jardin collection
this is a good one to check out if you own fragrances or the whole collection of the jardin
perhaps this would be a little bit redundant to have in your wardrobe but definitely worth
try this is a must try fragrance really great release really good release i should say for
2021. But that's my thoughts let me know your thoughts and opinions in the comments of this
