Fattan vs. Terre d'Hermès! And the winner is ..
Because Fattan has great similarities with the Terre d'Hermes fragrances EDT and EDP, a comparison test literally forces itself. Because this Arab has a lot to offer. But first my little back story and then the facts:)
Terre d'Hermès EDT is known to be a very popular fragrance, but I could never really warm up to him. in 2016 I had him once, but already after about four weeks followed the extract: I lacked the freshness and found it too musty, greasy, dirty. All the more I noticed two years later the perfume, which seemed to me something fresher and less "musty". But it could convince me just as little. So I also forgot the EDP first ...
Then I came across Fattan by chance at the end of last year and dealt again with this fragrance direction, including the two Hermès candidates. And because Fattan is supposed to be more citrusy I finally dared the blind purchase, because its price is more like a larger bottling;)
No sooner said than done ... and what can I say? The can what! Really good. Drum you may be interested in a comparison with the Hermès fragrances.
Here first the official reviews:
--------------Duft--Sillage-Haltb-Preis-------
TdH-EDT---8.2----7.6----8.2----50€/50ml
TdH-EDP---8.5----8.0----8.6----48€/50ml (from75)
Fattan-------8.3----7.8----8.3----15€/50ml
The following are my personal impressions and ratings, without going too much into the individual fragrance details:
TdH EDT :
It starts with a somewhat artificial citric, which unfortunately quickly becomes a bit annoying for me. And in the next hour, a note increasingly asserts itself, which reminds me in the mix with the top note of the frequently used dull black currant (e.g. in Aventus Dupes), which hardly appeals to me anymore, but is obviously appreciated by many users. Later, it is joined by an earthy woody tone that seems a bit musty and musty, on which the slightly fermented overripe orange dances, but it subsides considerably after about four hours. In short, the whole thing reminds me too much of light peat. Neither is the top note really fresh and present, nor could the depth of the fragrance reach me. Nevertheless, this Hermès at least convinces with a durability of 9-10 hours and a good sillage (applied with two saturated sprays on the neck for all three fragrances). The success of the TDH I could never really understand, but he has in addition to the large fan base yes also a no less large abutment;)
TdH EDP :
The perfume brings from the beginning a fresher Zitrik, which is also more sustainable, more transparent and less "fermented" than the EDT (EDP more grapefruit, EDT more orange). The fragrance seems overall a bit more differentiated, deeper and not quite as "dirty" and peaty as the EDT. Still, peat is peat, even if it's darker in the EDP and seems a bit "cleaner". Its progression: After about an hour, the grapefruit-orange combo takes a bit of a step back and a balanced melange of citrus, light spice, wood and a bit of earth emerges that slowly becomes increasingly a bit rougher. After about 3 hours the sillage decreases noticeably, and after 5 hours it decreases again (to >60% of the start), but with a longevity of 12+ hours the perfume is clearly better than the EDT. And also the sillage is still well perceptible. These are top values and also overall I like the EDP much better than the EDT.
FATTAN :
... is an outrageously good copy of the TdH EDP. However, Fattan starts for about 5 minutes with a violent mix, as if all the notes would pour explosively at once and must first find each other, which is soon thereafter. Then you smell a deep citrus, which fortunately is less reminiscent of a synthetic orange and much more powerful bergamot. As it were, this is underpinned with a soft, dark, slightly acidic wood. Fattan has a lot of power and comes across as masculine, very present and definitely worthy, although the slightly grungy peat sets in as well. From the second hour on, the Arabian has slowly grooved in and it gets better and better, with the citrus gaining a bit more again. After about 4 hours, it's very similar to the TdH EDP and is just a bit more tart on the go. Its masculine citrus dominates, backed by light spice and a full woody earthy darkness. Fattan remains transparent and clear over the hours, and its peat plays down to a harmonious level. Like the EDP, its citrus is also able to hold up well over the course of the scent, unlike the EDT, and after 6-7 hours the scent becomes a bit more acidic and earthy, so I suspect vetiver in it as well, complemented by some oakmoss. However, I wouldn't give Fattan as much green content as the chart currently shows at 15%. It resembles the EDP too much for that. With a shelf life of 10-12 hours, Fattan is also in the top range, although its sillage is at times about 10% stronger than that of the EDP.
Conclusion:
First, my personal reviews:
--------------Duft--Sillage-Haltb-Preis-------
TdH-EDT---6.5----6.5----8.0----50€/50ml
TdH-EDP---7.5----7.2----9.0----48€/50ml (from75)
Fattan-------7,4----7.9----8.5----15€/50ml
Even if I myself grade all three fragrances somewhat weaker, I feel the average rating of the community as quite coherent (see above). Fattan is rated by 55 users with 8.3, which is quite statistically relevant. It seems a bit darker and deeper than the TdH EDP, but is very similar to it - more so than the EDT. This is also currently seen by the community so:
Fattan similarity to the fragrance twins:
TdH EDP [39]
TdH EDT [28]
Although the first five minutes of Fattan may seem a little pungent and give the impression of something synthetic, this is rightly not found in the chart. Fattan is a valuable fragrance, very potent and expressive, with high mark and masculine character, which does not need to hide behind the Hermès representatives. That is shamelessly copied here is quite brazen, but my case is this direction (of all three fragrances) anyway not quite. Who still wants such a fragrance for his collection and is not exactly a Hermès hardcore fan, Fattan is recommended. Because at a third of the price, high similarity to the originals and an excellent H/S, the Arab is unbeatable. Therefore, it is at least for me:
