Something that you can wear when it is hot and humid outside
So, right off the bat this one smells different from the other two in the series, yet familiar to them. Hermes only lists three ingredients, but it’s pretty clear that the main accords from H24 are here, mainly in the background.
The ‘herbs’ here? I don’t know. I’d say mint, sage, and it seems like basil to me. Sage was in H24 already, so, I doubt that they lost it for this edition.
Between those two, this smells closer to H24 EDP than the original.
The biggest change is going to be from the pear note. Juicy and adds some sweetness to the mix. This paired with the very green and lush aroma from the herbs gives this one a rainy forest sort of undertone.
Not completely woody mind you, this is vegetal with how it comes across, more stem and leaf or grassy than any tree bark.
Also, there’s this synthetic ingredient called Physcool. Basically, it’s a cooling freshener as an ingredient and it’s doing it’s job. Less of a distinct smell and more of an impression that you get while wearing.
As it dries down, it becomes more like the original two H24 fragrances. Still much fresher and greener than either one of those, but you can definitely tell that this is an H24 release.
Herbes Vives isn’t too complicated of a cologne. Sort of sweet still in the dry down, not as sharp or spicy, but it still has that greenish cool finish to it.
