What Does Hermes H24 Smell Like?
The opening is immediately fresh with an herbal sage blast.
There aren’t any citruses; exclusively, the sage keeps this fresh. Playing second fiddle in the background is Sclarene. It brings warmth and a hefty dose of metallic accents.
Within a few minutes, nuances of light florals and fresh accents linger in the background. I can’t pinpoint the additional freshness, but it differs from the dominant sage.
The florals are significant from the first few minutes to the dry down. Instead of clean white florals, it is a denser yellow floral. They bring more of a sweet and spicy aroma.
The florals fade in the dry down. Prominent rosewood and dry oak moss jump to the forefront. The oak moss is slightly sharp but doesn’t detract from the more prominent woods.
This is what you’ll smell for the rest of the wear.

H24 Performance
How Long Does Hermes H24 Last?
H24 lasts six to seven hours on the skin with above-average projection. It pushes out an arm’s length or more for the first three to four hours.
After this period, it recedes to a two-foot ambiance for the rest of wear, never becoming a skin scent.
The sillage is as good. The more you move around, the better this smells and projects. This performance is with five sprays.
When Should I Wear Hermes H24?
This is spring, summer, and early fall wear. I have tried wearing it in the cooler weather, but it didn’t develop correctly, and I had to apply heavier the colder it got.
As for occasions, it is all. This may seem too loud for the office, but it’s blended and quality enough that it’s never too overwhelming.
Does Hermes H24 Get Compliments?
The mass appeal and likability are excellent. This is a safe choice that won’t offend anyone. It’s not the best fragrance for compliments, but everyone will love your fresh and invigorating scent.
Is Hermes H24 Unique?
Lastly, the uniqueness is excellent. All of the notes except Clary Sage are uncommon.
This is the first fragrance I’ve reviewed with Narcissus and Sclarene. And rosewood is a lesser-used wood note. On top of this is the blend of notes. Rarely is Clary Sage the dominant note.
Is Hermes H24 Worth Buying?
This fragrance has one flanker, the EDP version. The only difference is its heavier emphasis on woody and earthy oakmoss in the base, which is more prominent than rosewood. All other aspects of the fragrance are the same.
The final burning question is, is Hermes H24 worth it?
Yes, I enjoy this fragrance mostly for its unique aroma. There’s something so enjoyable about the metallic accent. It is masculine but never makes H24 too dark like many other ultra-masculine fragrances.
Hermes H24 is a great fragrance. however, don’t limit yourself to H24. Discover the best Hermes colognes for men here.
