Hermes H24

Mostly damp shaded forest floor, green and slightly bitter. Underneath that, cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers.

It opens on clary sage, narcissus and palisander rosewood, moves through algae, clary sage and narcissus, and settles on cedarmoss and palisander rosewood.

• clary sage: a warm, slightly boozy herb with a hay-like sweetness. Softer and less medicinal than ordinary sage
• narcissus: a heavy, hay-like flower, sweet and faintly animal. Nothing like the fresh daffodil it comes from

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
