The optimism of the narcissus, the gently floral inflection of the rosewood, the green, outdoorsy energy of the sage - Nagel’s skill has balanced them all so beautifully, I defy anyone not to be won over by their charm. ![]() H24‘s opening is blissfully easy to enjoy. That said, I wonder if its drydown will turn out to be its most divisive feature, despite its lack of those dreaded ingredients. This, in itself, makes it worthy of our attention. Let me repeat what I said during the broadcast: thank the Greek gods that H24 does NOT contain a massive dose of woody ambers, aka the materials that seem to blight pretty much every single ‘masculine’ release from mainstream brands at the moment. To watch the video, please click on this link – Hermes H24 review – and for more thoughts on the scent, please keep reading. Now it’s Christine Nagel‘s turn to give us her olfactory take on the Hermes man, and she has done so in commendable fashion with H24, which I reviewed in a recent episode of Love At First Scent. Indeed, it’s been 15 years since that last happened, when the world was presented with none other than Terre D’Hermes (well done, Hermes, for taking your time and not rushing the next one). At the time of writing these words, my intention is to continue mentioning and reviewing all Amouage scents released up to the end of 2020, except in posts/articles where perfumes from several brands are included and presented as part of a selection/collection (eg ‘best of’ posts and lists).It’s not every day that we get a new ‘pillar’ from Hermes, and it certainly isn’t every day that the pillar is aimed at men. The project may or may not have a bearing on the scents released by the brand from 2021 onwards. ![]() * In November 2020, I was commissioned to complete a writing project by the brand Amouage.

Of the others on the list, I’d recommend checking out the Byredo (an iris that conjures Julie Christie standing by a fire in Doctor Zhivago) and the Parfum D’Empire, for the admirable manner in which it restrains the less palatable aspects of vetiver and gives us one of the most quietly authoritative (think: Atticus Finch) takes on the material we’ve had for years. ![]() My views on H24 remain unchanged: I consider it to be one of the most commendable mainstream masculine releases of recent years, and I’m glad that Hermes have given us this edgier, more tooth-tingling eau de parfum.
