A greenhorn for all days
So here it is: Christine Nagel's first (non-flanker) fragrance for men as in-house perfumer at Hermès. The expectations were - are and remain - high. Terre d'Hermès sends its regards. There are easier tasks than to follow in Jean-Claude Ellenas footsteps.
In view of the forecast that in the next few days certainly still numerous comments on the H24 on Parfumo will rain down, I will be brief in the following and would like to go only to selected aspects.
Yes, it is, as announced, a quite transparent Grünling, which creates an impression of freshness without citricity. A light, increasingly gentle fragrance, fleeting, quiet, not intrusive. For those afraid of clary sage, let me tell you: nothing smells harsh here. Yes, this particular sage is distinct and makes the scent soft and "not completely unsweet" in my opinion, although the scent has absolutely nothing to do with sweetness or even sugary sweetness. Salbeidüfte create this "not completely unsweet" impression with me (Kamilledüfte by the way idiosyncratically also).
My fragrance impression is clearly different between "getetest on paper" and "tested on the skin", although this rarely happens with me. On paper, the individual components are more clearly outlined, but also clings to the first seconds a strange Haribo Colorado-white-pineapple impression, which quickly dissipates (a happiness) and gives way to a "modern green" without any attachment to traditionalism. Green, but not brittle. Tart, but not very tart. Vegetation, but not a forest. It reminds me a bit of the smell of the green of cut flowers after they've been in the vase for a while - but without any rot! In fact, I soon have the promised ironing steam association as well, but would find the attribute "metallic" exaggerated in this regard. Rather "unmoschusartig fluffy", and that in masculine.
The further course is quite linear, the fragrance thereby as addressed always quiet, discreet, serious. H24: one for 24/7.
H24 enters a heavy legacy and probably does not represent another milestone. Nevertheless, it seems to me even more portable than the "Terre", since its high Iso-E-Super proportion already with few splashes sometimes annoys me a little.
So: no work of art, but a wearable fragrance for every day, kept a little "younger" than "Terre", but far from synthetic ingratiation to the middle of the mainstream with quickly circulating interchangeable goods. Worth a test!

Do you like tea?
Summer flows through the country, the colors of the map become less intense, Nordic summer drought, white-light yellow hope, fused with heat. In the offices, the gentlemen with sweat stains under their armpits. Maybe it's air-conditioned....

To comfort the rainy souls
About two years ago I smelled MFK's "Oud" for the first time: on a fragrance strip, in downtown Hamburg, as one test among many. I saved it under "nice and re-test value" and our ways parted. Then, some time ago, a Parfumo who is no longer...
