Thanks to Hermès Paris and Emmanuelle we have a sample of Hermès H24 for a registered reader in the EU or US. It is also refillable, which is a big plus-modern and on trend.Įmmanuelle Varron, Senior Contributor with contributions from Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief You can imagine how substantial it would feel held in your hands. The opinions expressed are my own.Įditors’ Note: A few words about the flacon- beautiful, highly architectural and aerodynamic. Notes: clary sage, narcissus, rosewood, sclarene.ĭisclaimer: samples of Hermès H24 was sent to me by Hermès Paris. In my opinion, she succeeded and made it her own. Christine Nagel created a new Hermès men’s fragrance that stands on its own and not overshadowed by the giant “scent prints” of Terre d’Hermès. But H24 is what I would want to smell on a man and it would be his and his alone. I don’t like to assign gender to perfume. With overnight longevity and then some it nearly made “*24 hours” on my skin and clothing. Something you want to smell again and again. ![]() I could still smell the metallic sclarene note which surprisingly enhanced the natural elegance of the sage-narcissus-rosewood tryptic. After nearly an hour, the narcissus appeared, mysterious and deep, with a whisper of a hay note giving it a floralcy that stayed with me. The next day it smelled completely different and the clary sage emerged sharing its herbaceousness. I could barely detect the clary sage and the narcissus disappeared. This wasn’t a fougère at all, but something slightly unsettling: not a “smell good” classic. On my first day, the sclarene note was powerful and metallic. H24 can smell like a totally different fragrance from one day to another. Is Hermès H24 a men’s fragrance “democratized” for a mainstream global audience or is it a men’s luxury French perfume? It is both and that is quite exciting. Nagel the idea to create a perfume that bridges tradition and modernity and nature and technology.Ĭollage by Emmanuelle using images from Hermès Not mentioned there but key to this fragrance is sclarene, a synthetic molecule that evokes an iron’s warm metallic steam, a scent that impressed Christine Nagel when she visited Hermès menswear Véronique Nichaniant’s tailoring workshops. Hermès H24 it positioned as a “ high-tech fougère, a fusion of three vegetal raw materials: enveloping sage, electric narcissus and invigorating rosewood”. ![]() H24, The Story Behind- photo via Hermès edited by Emmanuelle. In addition, H24 is a common French expression meaning *24 hours a day. One might infer that “H” stands for “Homme” (man in French). But Hermès did NOT change its philosophy and honors the brand by showcasing both its iconic H and its historical Paris boutique located at 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré. H24 looks like a code name you could use as a hashtag. Usually Hermès fragrances refer to iconic symbols of the House, to raw materials or to their equestrian heritage. ![]() So, what about Hermès H24? Is it worth the hype? If you are an Hermès aficionado, you might be surprised by its name. It is the first Hermès men’s fragrance since Jean Claude Ellena’s Terre d’Hermes 15 years ago. Hermès H24 composed by in-house perfumer Christine Nagel has been one of the most awaited-wanted-anticipated perfume launches so far in 2021.
