Metallic Modern Greenery
I came here to learn about green perfumes and that’s exactly what I got and learnt from the H24 series. It unapologetically bursts with strong, fresh greenness, mixed with the sclarene note that contributes to a metallic scent, making it smell like something from a modern botanical garden.
Even with a rookie nose like mine, this is the most unique scent I’ve sniffed recently. However, I’ve discovered that a scratchy, deep woody base isn’t really up my alley. Although, to be fair, the rosewood here isn’t that woody and is at least passable for my personal scent profile.
There’s nothing remotely banana-like in the scent, at least nothing resembling the natural form. If you’re referring to that artificial banana flavouring found in candies or drinks, I might understand the association.
Overall, another great scent from Hermès but I’m shocked by how underrated this lineup is.
