by Hermès
H24 Eau de Parfum by Hermès presents a modern, streamlined interpretation of its original fragrance, amplified in depth and intensity. The opening carries a crisp, green herbal note with a moody, almost metallic facet—reminiscent of a freshly pressed linen or a cool lab surface—along with a subtle, pungent fruity undertone that some describe as banana-like, while others note it as green apple or tart herbal sweetness. This shifts into a sleek, mossy, woody base with clary sage and oakmoss lending quiet sophistication, evolving into a clean, refined drydown with a slight musky warmth. Performance is strong—longevity extends beyond a full day, and projection remains moderate to strong for the first several hours, even when diluted on clothing. The composition remains bold, with a pronounced green-fougere structure that leans toward intellectual masculinity rather than overt sensuality. It’s suited for day wear and thrives in spring and summer, offering a fresh, unapologetically distinct presence without overwhelming others.
