My Love/Hate Relationship with Hermes H24

A discussion of the fragrance I had to have after one smell...and then never really reach for.

I kept meaning to congratulate you then forgetting. The mighty algorithm suggested one of your videos to me back along and I've been a subscriber ever since. I'm a fragrance newb so your way of explaining things without assuming the viewer has vast knowledge of the perfume business is perfect. Plus you're funny as Hell.

[@theeddld]

Thank you so much! Glad what I’m doing is landing well with you! Hopefully I’ll be done the new vid tomorrow.

[@rickytomatoes]

All praise the algorithm.

[@theeddld]

Thanks! And welcome aboard!

[@theeddld]

Thanks, man! I remember you as one of the first that said to do more! So I'll keep going until people stop responding!

Man, keep doing these videos! It is 'pure dam good'!! kkkkkkkk Congrats dude!

[@theeddld]

Thanks you, sir!

I love this one! I only wish it had more projection, oomph. I do not see it as universal as Sauvage, Dylan Blue, etc. because it owes more to earthy, vegetal Hermes DNA than it does to having that universal Ambroxan appeal. Last, H24 does remind me of one other frag I love, Varvatos Artisan Blu, similar green herby openings. Enjoyed the vid and have subscribed, good luck!

[@tonyc580]

Congratulations!!

[@theeddld]

Thanks!

i don't get urinal cake or mothball at all. If you want urinal cake/puck, try Amouage Beach Hut Man, smells identical, but nice. love H24

[@erikEsthundred]

I like the reviewer and I like the cake note.too.

You know what, i really tried to like this perfume, start from the bottle design, the eco friendly concept, the scent profile i thought i was going to love it right away, but then as i tried the decant as any broke college student, i tried it and expected to highly of it, it was strange too sweet and too sour at the same time almost like sweet and sour melon candy, didn’t like it infact i was deeply dissapointed by it, so i left it and decided to look again for the next “signature” fragrance ( at this point i don’t even know what is a signature fragrance smh), i then bought the iconic blue fragrance in decant dior sauvage edt, bleu de chanel edt, and ysl y edt and i smelled all of em and i hated all of em, very basic men’s scent as i put all of the decant back dissapointed i saw the H24 decant lying in my wardrobe and i decided to give it another try And that was the moment i was completely conflicted with a fragrance, H24 changed into a green aromatic smooth cologne very subtle and very elegant, i don’t know what about this but i’ve heard about the rumour that this fragrance needs to maturate, left to mature a bit longer and it’ll get smoother and less of a mess … But still even with that kind of an experience and even though to this day im still hesitant on buying this fragrance, i gotta say jeremy fragrance’s review on H24 seems a bit over reactive i mean it is a nice scent not a bad one and yet not a very groundbreaking, mass crowd pleaser kind of a scent Im still confused on wether or not to but this, i mainly wanted to buy this because im tired of the constant blue fragrances out there, there’s like 4/5 guy at my campus that wears something blue ish, and it all smelled similar. Great video btw even though im still left unsure on wether or not should i buy it or not i really do like this fragrance and planning on using it as a signature fragrance but still quite unsure about it

[@theeddld]

Brother, first, I want to thank you for the most well thought out response I'm sure I've ever received. Work has been crazy, so I've not really been around, but I too am not a blue fragrance guy...yet still, I don't know that H24 is the answer to anything. If you have $100 in your pocket, I honestly believe that there are better ways to utilize it. And all that said, thanks for you considerate response, and I'm truly glad you're here.

[@antrumkfpsalatschleuder8768]

Mothball … haha I tested the fragrance recently in the local perfumery I frequently shop. I thought it was awful and said to my girlfriend that she should test it it’s spectacular bad … she said it smells like mothballs. I then bought another fragrance JPG Scandal pour homme much better.

[@theeddld]

I've been waiting to buy Scandal, and was just recently told that JPG isn't sure they're going to sell in the States. So I guess I'm gonna have to grab it online.

[@antrumkfpsalatschleuder8768]

@@theeddld yeah it isn’t a blue fragrance so I would guess it won’t sell that good in the states 😜

[@theeddld]

@@antrumkfpsalatschleuder8768 HA! Sadly that's probably true.

[@bloodrivercanyon]

I need to smell this...one day

[@theeddld]

It's definitely a strange one.

[@mardukmd919]

h24 is truly headache inducing. like a cheap car freshener. so unpleasant. serious question- did hermes not test this before approving it for human use?

[@BooseJuice]

napthalene 🔥

[@BeautyofScent]

the dry down smells like burnt fabric.

[@ronnie5329]

Did you get your nose on the edp

[@theeddld]

Not yet. I haven’t gone anywhere lately.
