I'm probably one of just 15 people in the world that likes H24 EDT, the original. EDP is dank n mossy, which isn't bad at all... But EDT is where it's at. Most definitely will blind buy Herbes Vives. I'm a shameless Hermes H24 fanboy

[@garyrochussen3430]

I am one of the 14 other people! In the summer, the edt H24 is one of my go-to sprays.

[@aringrags]

@@WeezyPipes Beach Hut Man is great. Way I see it regarding H24 is EDT = summer. EDP = oakmoss barbershop. And Herbes Vives = presumably somewhere in the middle versatile multi season.

[@SUTU6000]

Does edt smell better in hot weather? I have the edp, and where I live is hot hot most of the year.

[@aringrags]

@@SUTU6000 yes, def great for summer or heat

[@playyahh7336]

I got the H24 EDT wish I didn’t but it’s a safe buy. It’s just not not worth the price for what it is.

[@slingblade37814]

So far I have loved a lot of the fragrances from Christine Nagel. She has huge shoes to fill and I think that is why she get's a lot of hate. She is making far better frags than other recent dumpster fires I have smelled from other popular perfumers like Francis Kurkdjian and Quentin Bisch.

[@davidwas-auch-immer7211]

I personally really love Christine Nagel's work. She has a really smart way of creating fragrances! The hate may come because of people unwilling to accept change. Nothing is forever, and we have to be open minded to new ways and creations at many fragrance houses. Not everything may be great, but especially with Hermès, i dont get the negativity. Hermès just wont follow trends, they do their own thing in their own way, and thats what i appreciate the most. Nobody will ever like every fragrance, and thats totally fine. If a fragrance isnt a safe blind buy, people often will instantly hate too, but thats what you get for not sampling first. Christine Nagel, in my opinion, has done an amazing job at continuing in the Hermès-way! Really looking forward to trying H24 Herbes Vives, as i love the collection :)

[@Shine603]

I just tried the H24 Herbes Vives in a store and I thought it was great, I absolutely love that refreshing pear note. I always thought the other ones had also pear notes but it has never been mentioned.

[@Hoffman_VP]

Nagel’s work has been a success for the house of Hermes, at least for the general audiences. Why she gets hate when she is still keeping up with Hermes releasing unique offerings, I will just not understand. Great video Sebastian.

[@miker4430]

Looking forward to this but love EDT most

[@boogiedaddy3434]

I've put off trying the H24 line, but I really want to try this one now. It sounds quite nice and would probably work great in the humid heat here in the south.

[@PhinClio]

I've already seen this new flanker referred to as "Pear d'Hermes."

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

HEHE love that

[@umpus]

That is SPOT ON! 😂

[@saaacredwaaater4730]

I love Hermes. H24 was a refreshing new release from a few years ago so I'm excited for this. Can't wait to try this one. Great review.

[@saaacredwaaater4730]

Thanks for explaining psyschool as well.

[@northyorkshirefieldsports]

I didn't reckon much to H24 EDT but absolutely loved the EDP. I can't wait to try this one.

[@headspaceaudio7745]

I really started liking pear when it was featured in animal mondain so now this will be an interesting discovery for me

[@bobbob8387]

Christine Nagel, in my opinion, did a fantastic job at Hermes until now. The two flankers of Terre d' Hermes as well as the H24 line are great. Lets wait and see what she will do next. I don't get the hate towards her.

[@neilsant1194]

H24 smells very expensive and unique. Sometimes we search much on many brand for uniqueness search but this one is hard to copy.

[@carak4356]

Great review! I like a lot from Hermes and am super excited to sample this ❤

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

It’s a good one. 😀

[@colinrenfrew48]

This is now on my list. Thanks!

[@ginnyginiver]

The pear granita sounds very refreshing. Great video Sebastian.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

It does!

[@KontrolledKaoz]

@@ThePerfumeGuyis this frag colder than an ice pick?

[@Rayver09]

Like the EDT but not the EDP. They went too far with the oak moss imo. This one sounds like the best because even though I like the EDT it’s a bit too simple I think.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day

[@JT-rx1eo]

Sounds promising. I have H24 EDP and Eau Givrée. And her Terre d'Hermes Eau Intense Vetiver. All great. Herbes Vives means bright herbs. Pronounced sort of like "air-ba veev".

[@carak4356]

Weird, I loved Jardin a Cythere. Didn’t Christine make that? I’m a nube so maybe I don’t know enough of the Hermes history but I think that jardin flanker was lovely

[@carlito7863]

I smell it like that In a perfume shop. I need to try it to wear it to really see if it's good. I am not a big fan of the original. But it seems not that bad. I imagine really well wear it in spring or summer with a nice white shirt

[@Scumcore]

It’s a great fragrance… I got a sample last week (It’s available here in Europe) and I absolutely love it… It’s been a while since a fragrance got me smelling myself every other minute. I will get myself a bottle and already know this is gonna be my most worn fragrance this summer. I love it!

[@jessicaal415]

I know made for men and I don’t mind masculine leaning fragrances as long I don’t smell like a man, if that makes sense. I do like woody smells and herbal/aromatic. Do you think women can and would wear this as well? Great video as always. I love how you describe fragrances and you’ve been on point. Thank you!

[@koflan]

Anyone saying that Nagel is a bad perfumer has absolutely no real knowledge of perfumery, much less how the perfume industry works and what her job actually is.

[@guillermofuenteshernandez6969]

I was surprised with the first release some years ago, because, it was very diferent from the others arround. I would love to put my nose on these one,specially for the pears notes that i líder do much.

[@steliosc.4686]

Nagel's creations even though different from the rest designer releases, they still smell very very designerish. Nothing groundbreaking and nothing that im dying to buy. Maybe Elena set the bar pretty high.

[@ArthurPhillip7]

H24 is great and unique for certain scenarios. The EDT is super linear, so I don't like to wear it when I am just sitting somewhere stationary as it can be headache inducing and get annoying. But I haven't found a better scent at this price point to wear when you are active and outside. I use it to play golf. It doesn't smell like "fragrance or cologne" so much, so it's just an interesting smell to those around you, so you aren't the asshole who is wearing fragrance to work out/go outdoors. Excited to try this one and see if it's even better.

[@scottbrown7071]

Thank you for your review, Sebastian. I think this is the only new men’s designer fragrance I’m excited to try so far this year in 2024.

[@VivaVilla.]

Hi Sebastian! OMG. I think Christine Nagel Is doing a better job at Hermès compared to the mediocre stuff Francis Kurkdjian is doing at Dior. I truly believe she's more capable of coming up for a greater creation at Hermès than what Kurkdjian will at Dior.

[@justaddlight]

Great review! No doubt that one of the motives for using captives is to avoid cloning, but I wonder what this sudden onslaught of new synthetics will mean for the long term health of materials producers and natural ecosystems? Yet to sample this one myself, but I certainly do prefer the edp over the edt. Unfortunately not a fan of the bottle design.

[@extsaojose]

Tried this today, so far my favorite from this line! I feel the edt a bit bland, and the edp too heavy for warm weather.

[@garrisonel]

You should do a video featuring the top Christine Nagel fragrances in your collection 🎥

[@richardkolnsberg4418]

Really looking forward to this one!

[@kensears5099]

"F-" not "S-". It would be "S-" if it were spelled "Psy-" 🙂 But I don't know, really, whether they pronounce it to start like "Fiss", "Fizz" or "Fie" (like "eye") . No idea. At least I'm sure it starts with an "f" not an "s." (Actually, if it started with "Psy-" the French would probably pronounce the "p", too, like "Psee-". )

[@All_True_Especially_The_Lies]

Christine Nagel created what many many other established perfumers have failed to do. She created an amazing new line, new scent DNA. This is masterful craftsmanship and beautiful art IMHO. I love the H24 line and have all of them.

[@jeffrosenblum5053]

Can't wait for this flanker. Awesome review.

[@FayeCNL]

I often associate Hermes, Prada and Cartier in the same group, better than designer, well constructed scents. This looks like a stunning fragrance with a cooling sophisticated edge

[@tengjoolee]

I find Christine Nagel's works unique. At least she stands out from the mass of over rated Sauvage and its ilk out there. Can't stand those stuffs. I find them blandly sweet and nauseating.

[@ineedtochangemyname5803]

I like the edt and Edp. I like the edp a little better because it’s a deeper fragrance. I’m looking forward to getting my nose on this.

[@عطرغامضكلاسك]

ايهم افضل من ناحية الأداء والفوحان؟

[@stephand.4437]

H24 sets a new trend of green fragrances imo.

[@lynnleglaire4819]

[@dexter9444]

Im fragrance ambassador working with Hermes Middle East, since Christine Nagel become perfumer in house she’s doing amazing job, she has unique touch in collection of Hermes perfume, especially in the hermessence , agare ebene , volynka , and the latest one Oud Alezan this is the boom of this year the way she works is very innovative in the industry, she is yh the right successor

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

PERFECT. Thank you for commenting.

[@dexter9444]

@@ThePerfumeGuy Oud Alezan , trust me ! Will surprise you its unexpected because many houses before used the duo oud and rose ! But the oud here very rare and unusual from bangladesh ( resin of the Aquilaria tree) with due of roses ( rose oxide , rose hydrolate ) ,I’ll be excited to see your review

[@jalphabet5]

I really liked Hermes Eau Tres Fraiche which is sadly discontinued. Are there any other frags out there that are similar to it?

[@stuntmanjohnny]

I really like the EDP. I am curious about this new flanker. It is certainly on my radar.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

It's quite pulpy!

[@romteb]

As a rule of thumb in french "S" at the end of a word is silent, both are silent here, ignore them totally.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Is it HERM also?

[@ich123binsimmernoch]

No the s is not silent, because there’s is the accent grave on the e. It would be silent if it were spelled hermes and not hermès

[@romteb]

Also the rule is to never pronouce a "S" if it's there to indicate plural like is the case here, there are a lot of rules to silent letters in french, and a lot of exceptions to the rule, that is quite the rabbit hole

[@edwinp.]

I like and got the edt, looking forward to smell the new one once it’s gets to stores.

[@jasonmfalconer]

Sounds interesting. Always quality from Hermes. Still probably gonna rock in summer dosent seem any point in making icy otherwise. Verdict -will check and maybe buy for summer still be better than the sugar smell of most other designers

[@willoraha1969]

Great review

[@Dawnetcetera]

Thank you Sebastian . I need to get my nose on collection from my Husband.✨

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

You should!

[@MercioGoenha]

Have both, EDP is better.

[@jyrenk]

Christine Nagel had big shoes to fill and she did okay. Just okay. I don’t think anyone cares now, since she has been there for at least a decade at this point. Her body of work seen as just a tad bit too commercial not artistic enough. Conversely, till now, there has been no real breakout hit from her and Hermes. On a side note, the perfumer arms-race has also gotten crazy. Dior splurged to sign Francis Kurkdjian. What Hermes needs on the fragrance side is someone a little bit more inspired.

[@marcovelasquez4848]

Edp is a mix of Vetiver Tonka with Lacoste Match Point 🙄

[@GabrielGarcia-ip2hs]

Hermes stands apart in terms of a chemistry legacy. The new stuff appears light and easy. But it can project like crazy. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ianokay]

I absolutely loved the H24 releases until someone commented that they're secretly Banana fragrances, and they were right, and I could never love them again 🍌

[@funeka691]

I'm not sure about this one. Aromatic fragrances are not usually my vibe.

[@oliverriezebos]

I just got acqua di Parma oud & spice and I think it’s beautiful, I’d love to know what you think bout that one

[@jso-pw1vy]

It is listed as available on the Hermes US website. I'll wait until it's in the local Sephora so I can smell it first. It sounds like it would be a great fragrance for the summer.

[@Fragman-Scoop]

Great review Sebastian. The Physcool note sounds very interesting. I enjoy easy to wear fragrances. I have the EDT which is refreshing without smelling like anything else fresh. Sound like Herbes Vives is a solid flanker.

[@faraiz1]

where are buy this?

[@tontonkarim2260]

We pronouce it "Airb veev", but the american accent is cool though.

[@leftyrighty5777]

I've been waiting for this flanker when you first mentioned it last month. Glad to see it in your hands and enjoying it.

[@Harrytmik]

I got into fragrances the last year, and H24 EDT caught my attention because of the "metallic" smell reviewers mentioned. It was love at first sniff 😂 because i wanted something that smells unique and sure it did surpass my expectations the first time i tried it. Also I've gotten a tiny decant of the EDP as a gift for another fragrance and i liked it for colder weather, I'm thinking about getting that one too to have both as my signature fragrance. Herbes vives is really overpriced in my country, so i will wait ans see if i can try it first before the price drops. Also, people tend to dislike changes and expect everything to be same over the years... I don't see why so much hate over the new line of Hermes. To me is just a waste of time being a hater.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I think they are not typically conventional fragrances or smell like every other designer fragrance everyone is used to also some Hermes purists do not like Nagel's creations so there are two sides of hate. I think this H24 line is refreshing and better than what's out there on the market for men! Now on the other hand it could be a bit more intense but that's just what we have to deal with. :)

[@kitz230]

[@davidwestwood2457]

I haven't tried them all, but the Nagel fragrances I've tried have disappointing bases. There isn't enough complexity in the EDT base to make it interesting for a whole day. Same with Eau Givree and Eau Intense Vetiver. I think Demachy at Dior did much better creating frags with good, robust bases. Her fragrances don't have that X factor that makes them exciting for men.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Sounds like you are talking about Jean-Claude Ellena! LOL! ;)

[@bobbob8387]

This is just the type of the particular fragrance. Not everything needs to be complex. It is a formal, clean, professional scent in a unique way. It definetly has its place. Eau Givree and Eau Intense Vetiver are fantastic new takes on the masterpiece of Elena.
