Hydrogen [1H]

Hydrogen [1H] is a light, ethereal fragrance with a strong focus on aldehydic, citrus, and fresh green accords. Its opening features a crisp effervescent burst of mandarin orange, melon, and aldehydes, giving a sensation akin to chilled lemon-lime soda or fresh laundry in summer. Basil and green notes add a subtle herbal presence, while jasmine and vanilla contribute a soft, rounded sweetness. The scent develops into a skin-hugging, barely perceptible aura with moderate longevity and sillage, making it best suited for daytime wear in spring and summer. It is not a bold or projecting scent—rather, it’s a discreet, airy presence that feels like a hazy breath of freshness, often evoking comparisons to simpler, cooler fragrances like Impulse Deo or Eau de Lacoste. The composition is clean and synthetic, leaning toward a conceptual, modern aesthetic without strong individuality. While some find it refreshingly pure and wearable, others report it as flat, underdeveloped, or lacking in depth. Its aldehydic character can feel sharp or sour on some skin, and its minimal projection prevents it from standing out in a crowd. Despite the lack of a strong profile, it earns praise for balance and adjunct forms within the brand’s lineup.
