Human metal monolith
Many perfumos know it - grow after quite a few years of perfume collection and knowledge, the urge of spontaneous blind purchases drops drastically. Even with olfactory blockbusters. Even the urge to test often. You just don't have to follow or even start every hype anymore, you have patience and more than enough for three lifetimes in the pipeline. But a brand new Hermes lord fragrance is a house number that is hard to resist even in the most extreme olfactory fatigue and saturation....
"H24" is the first real new men's fragrance from Hermes since the milestone "Terre d'Hermes", since then, the in-house fragrance DNA has been positively "watered down" and consolidated at the same time, has never been rushed or distracted or pandered to the mainstream too much. Great. A house with amazing scents and the clearest language. No matter who is at the helm. Minimal, natural, often gauzy - but always damn stylish and luxurious and with idea, character, soul. Often enough there is truly art behind it. So what can now this "new" for the Herr'n, for which we fans have been waiting for years?
Even if I see him perhaps not quite on "Terre" level, "H24" has nevertheless become a fabulous fragrance, for which Ms. Nagel must not be ashamed in any case. On the contrary: we have to thank her and she can be proud! There, the future of this collabo looks bright. "H24" is a metallic-sweet greenie that can hardly be compared to anything in the perfume game. And I'm talking mass market to deepest niche here. And that's something you have to manage and dare to do! Ms. Nagel succeeds here with a new understated approach to sweetness as well as the "nose color" green that I can hardly hang my hat on. You can't get more signature-worthy than that. Hermes really gives us a gift here once again and solidifies the brand's high reputation. "H24" always goes, looks high-quality blended and uses with the clary sage a core substance, which in this (slightly floral-feminine) form simply knows how to inspire.
Noble and simple. Super linear and the flacon is featureless - but these were also almost the only mild criticisms. The rest is pure Everyday elegance. Green aluminum, barbershop on cloud 7, sweet enough for youth but mature enough for everything after. I have a big grin on my face. Whoever whisks this off to the office now, if that's possible for one or the other before the hype really starts rolling (though I'm not at all sure this understated fine is really made for hype) - is probably impressive king right now, and more than well-advised.
Flacon: me a little too minimal and early-00s
Sillage: discreet despite special sweetness
Durability: 6 hours, prevents lapping
Verdict: simple, clear, synthetic and yet natural, special - quite Hermes! "H24" goes 24/7/365! A class more elegant and better than what similarly large competitors for years one another uncreative and mass-market lame abpausen... "H24" comes very close to a modern classic. Worth buying.
