Christine Nagel’s new Terre d’Hermes Eau GIVRÉE flanker replaces Jean Claude Ellena’s masterful Eau Très Fraîche, both great perfumes, however was there a need for this? Follow me on Instagram: / u_smells__good lesabstraits.com/

As someone else said, Nigel had to remove banned substances (Lilial) from fraiche and she couldn’t recreate. Lilial is said to be harmful to fertility. So Hermes decided to discontinue and replace with Eau Givree. “European legislation has declared allergen a component widely used in perfumery. Terre d'Hermès Eau Très Fraîche contained this component and it was not possible to substitute it without distorting the fragrance. Terre d'Hermes Eau Très Fraîche is thus removed from our collections. A new Terre d'Hermès Eau Givrée fragrance will be released soon before this summer. It will be different but will offer another interpretation of freshness. We thank you for your trust and understanding."

From what I’ve heard, Eau Tres Fraiche was discontinued because of some component that was declared allergen. So the new Eau Givree is supposed to replace Tres Fraiche. As for the new cap, the new bottle was designed to be more sustainable thats why the previous plastic cap was replaced with new metal one. Tho I am very disappointed that the cap doesn’t twist, it was something really unique…

I never did like the T d’ H twist top - I much prefer the proper cap; and I think the refillable bottle is brilliant: all perfume bottles should be refillable. Haven’t sampled Eau Givrée yet, but I get the sense that I will like it a lot. I do enjoy lemon/cédrat forward scents and citrus in general. Great presentation - thanks for the review.

Is nice to know you like it Eugen, I will need to take a look soon and fortunately I have my Eau Tres Fraiche to enjoy, I was listening Varanis Ridari (The Scented Devil) talking about this change, he said Hermes send a letter explaining Eau Tres Fraiche was basically imposible to reformulate after lthe atest IFRA updates, which means they tried but no good luck, so they just decided to introduce this new one to fill that room.

@schecterdiamond1772 жыл бұрын
I look forward to testing it. Eau fraiche is a lovely fragrance but for me it’s a touch too dirty for what it is. I believe it’s the cumin that throws a wrench in it for me so this new one sounds a bit more appealing. Your take is always appreciated Eugen.
@usmellsgood2 жыл бұрын
I found the dirtyness separated it from the sea of other freshies which gave it its own character. You might enjoy this cleaner version.

Eau Trés Fraiche to me is one of the best warm weather fragrances ever, very Roudnitska maybe, like a twist on Eau Sauvage EDT?...a real booster. I think the era post Jean Claude it's not an easy job to handle for Hermes. They will need time. Same as for Barcelona after Messi, how to replace a figure of that caliber? I think they need to the long crossing of the desert. Thank you Eugene for this interesting video.

Ellena took inspiration from so many of Roudnitska’s perfumes so I’m not surprised you get that association with Eau Tres Fraiche as well.

Eau Tres Fraiche was my go-to spring freshie for so many years. Still love the opening, but after working in the garage one summer day and fully experiencing the synthetic gumminess in the drydown, I was turned off. Kind of ruined it for me. Realized that D&G used the same vetiver in Light Blue Forever too. Anyway, Ben from Talking Scents mentioned that Eau Givree was quite similar to LJd Monsieur Li. Thoughts?
