Fragrance

Hermes H24 Eau de Parfum had to appear on the blog, if we consider the level of the classic H24 EdT offshoot. The two compositions, by the way, have many elements in common, although it absolutely cannot be said that the new version is “only” an amplification of the original. Of course, all the bright points will continue to be felt here. So we have a fruity note, a’la watermelon or melon. We have herbs rubbed with sugar. There is also sage in the role of the main character.

Defy represents the dusty and woody current, synthetic to the point of toothache. It’s some kind of imitation in the style of YSL Y, Sauvage or Invictus, but worse….

In any case, Hermes Eau de Basilic Pourpre is among the fragrances that will score positively. It is truly basilic, juicy, crisp, and its level of naturalness brings it close to sophisticated niche compositions. It is worth mentioning that basil plays almost solo here. Other notes barely highlight it and add character. This apparent simplicity does not take anything away from the quality. There is strength in it.
