Thank you for the wonderful review, Hermes is my favorite designer perfume house. It's always a pleasure listening of your tailored descriptions of new releases.
Uh, as much as I like the direction Hermes is going for here, it's a no for me. I like the modern approach Hermes is leaning into. This does remind me of the modernity of H24 in structure, but once I could smell the Akigalawood, that's all I could think of (and smell). It seems that it is even dosed very lightly, but it a big aroma chemical. Of course, every time I smell Akigalawood, I think of Bisch and that makes me think of Ganymede and Guidance. I know it's a me thing, but I just can't do it. BUT, for those that enjoy that style, I think it's very well constructed.
Yes, it's ultra modern, shiny, glossy take on a chypre. I also have my tolerance level with Akigalawood. Here it doesn't bother me. Ganymede is the max I can go. Bisch's work at Amouage and Crivelli just have too much of it... that it feels suffocating.
Thanks SJ 🫂 i almost spit my drink when I sat at a Café and looked at the A word in the sample 😅. Thankfully its rightly dosed. Please let us know what you think. Have a great Sunday!
Oooh nice one. I am interested to try it soon. Oakwood is listed in the notes. It's an interesting material that often goes missing in a lot of wasted compositions. I love it as a material. Smells like a sherry cask used for whiskey maturation.
Interesting info about the oakwood. I was getting a Champagne cork like smell for sometime lol. This comes across soft and not too sweet, so the delicate woodiness shows
I am looking forward to smelling it!
Yes, please dew!

Thank you very much, you are very kind.
Same... Overall Currently my favorite designer too!
Been waiting for this 😍
Me too mate😍
Awesome-this was super informative. Looking forward to trying it!
Glad it was useful! Looking forward to hear your thoughts
What frags where he saying that this can’t compare too cuir d”ange quierllo? New here lol
Galop, Violette Volynka, Cuir d'Ange, Kelly Caleche and Paddock are the others I mentioned. Cheers!
Nearly fainted when you said the "A" word 😮
I was surprised to see it in the sample too😅 Quite a Cliffhanger now
Hmm...doesn't sound particularly exciting...but it sounds solid I guess. I was hoping for a budget friendly Cuir d'Ange.
Yea, It's better to have expectations in check with this one I guess. It's a designer release under a leather's name but really not much leather

@@ScentZatura champagne cork would make sense in the realms of oakwood!
Well, LT just just dumped on Barenia.
Haha... Another normal review
Something to look forward to… I guess A’wood is the “designer Oud” in this decade.
Yes! for some reason designer brands are even hesitant to do convincing woody notes these days
appreciate the review, i will avoid it after i watched this
No problem! Glad it was useful. I am assuming you were expecting a leather dominant fragrance
Bro the fragrance isn't even announced yet slow down.
Lol😁 They have to go through me before the announcement😂
