Fragrances are truly something special; they manage to evoke emotions like hardly anything else.
Each of us can still remember the scent we wore at 18,
the first time in the disco, the first car, the first girlfriend.
A fragrance was usually part of that age, and when you spray that scent again today, you are instantly transported back in time. The emotions that
the fragrance triggers!
I must say I haven't spent much time on perfumes in the last 2 years.
For a simple reason.
Whether in the niche or designer segment, much is "nice and good," but that’s about it. And I no longer have the urge to test everything,
to chase every trend.
Well, I thought to myself, it’s time to get a new perfume. But which one?
A niche fragrance? No, usually too complex for everyday use and also too expensive.
It should be a daily driver anyway. So a designer scent, but which one?
Should it be the 10th blue shower gel scent (I like blue shower gel scents, so what)? No! Something different. For the last 2 years, I’ve kept hearing about H24 from Hermes. Interesting. It’s supposed to smell like freshly washed clothes hanging on the line in summer. The first new men’s line from Hermes in 15 years.
Hermes has never disappointed me. I especially loved Terre d'Hermès
and Un Jardin sur le Nil. Oh well, I’ll just order it blind.
A few days later, it finally arrives. Hopefully, it’s good and I like it.
Enough thinking, I’ll just spray it on.
WOW! Is it good and something completely different.
Professional and cool.
Elegant yet dominant.
A fragrance that never takes up all the space for itself but
acts quietly yet distinctly in the background, wrapping you in its embrace,
only to strike like an axe in the woods at the right moment.
It feels mature and knows exactly what it wants. The signature scent of Patrick Bateman!
