From juicy lemons to tart, dark green juniper
How chance sometimes brings us to fragrances that we would probably never have tested on our own is sometimes a matter of luck. That's what happened to me with THD Eau Givree. My father had ordered the fragrance as a blind buy and couldn't really do anything with it. He then gave it to me so that I could sell it on. It sat around for a few weeks until I actually had it in my hand and wanted to take the pictures for the souk. Only then did I test it out. I could never do anything with either of the other two THD versions; for me, both fragrances have an earthy note that I don't like at all. After spraying on the Eau Givree, I was more than surprised. The earthy notes are not part of this fragrance, and in general there is hardly any similarity to the other two versions. After seeing the pyramid, I quickly realized that I would keep the fragrance myself.
This flanker is an insane fragrance from spring to fall, much more invigorating and fresher than the original.
They stayed true to themselves with the pepper, which I would consider very similar to the EDT version, only here they used significantly more.
The Eau Givree starts with a very intense lemon citrus, juicy, slightly tart and reminiscent of fruit pulp. Somewhat cool and almost so intensely citrusy that it could also be reminiscent of a grapefruit, for me it also has a certain similarity to lemonade. After the first few minutes, however, you can clearly recognize the lemon, which also has a somewhat tingling effect. I can also detect juniper, but at the beginning it is clearly in the background of the lemon and pepper. I already like this combination of notes in other fragrances, and smelling it on its own is also very much to my taste. As the fragrance progresses, it becomes more bitter and slightly dark green and spicy due to the juniper. The lemon remains recognizable until the base.
In my opinion, it is only slightly similar to Isola Blu Parfum in terms of the pepper and juniper. The citrus in the Roja fragrance cannot be compared with this one, not that one of the two is better, it's just not similar for me. Since I recognize other notes such as thyme, some lavender, champaca and oakmoss in the Isola blue, the two are slightly similar for me, but still different enough to have both in the collection.
A fragrance in the simple and good category. While other fragrances only depict their top notes, Hermes manages to dedicate an entire fragrance to them, which is why the progression is very linear. Sometimes that's just enough. I don't need to say any more, it's relatively easy to assess whether you should try it. If you like the notes, then go ahead and test it.

Known as a fragrance itself, especially as a perfume
The Nero70 is probably the first fragrance with a velvet bottle that I have ever liked from Xerjoff. After a really long search for a bottling, I eventually found an offer for this exclusive and was able to get hold...
