Frozen Gem
Very nice, masculine, fresh fragrance suitable for spring and summer days. The fresh, citrusy opening quickly makes way for the TdH trademark woody base. Unlike TdH, however, it comes across as very fresh. Something different but still true to TdH as a flanker.
Note that the opening citron gives way to the timur note resulting in more of a grapefruit scent. Interesting is that burying my nose under my t-shirt, I got the grapefruit, but in the air (and to others) it comes across more as a fresh (or frozen - givree after all) woody scent. Quite amazing how that balancing act is done.
That said, a bit of caution is required. If you like TdH, this could have been a good blind buy, except for the grapefruit scent. I'd recommend sampling before buying because a grapefruit scent can be tricky. Some guys' skin chemistry transforms grapefruit into a sweaty BO smell. I didn't have that problem here, but better safe than sorry.
Performance is not bad for a freshie. The citrusy grapefruit is the first to go, after about maybe 4 to 5 hours. The woody scent hangs around for maybe an hour or so longer, become less fresh as the citrus disappears.
The bottle is very heavy, thick glass with an excellent atomizer. Hermes quality all the way.
Overall, very happy with TdH G and I bought a FB for myself to use this summer.
