I enjoyed this perfume, I thought it was very good indeed. Comparisons to TdH are a little simplistic to me... ahhh okay.... This is genuine now. So I wore this perfume yesterday and I'm writing this review retrospectively However, I also sprayed it on a card which I popped in the top pocket of a jacket I'm wearing today and just as I was about to say how wrong and naive and ignorant comparisons to the Hermes fragrance are I kept thinking....I can smell Terre d Hermes....I thought it was my mind conjuring it!!! But seeing as I don't believe that woo, I knew it had to be something real, sure enough it was the Boadicea card. (Facepalm) Okay so bearing all that in mind I never made a particular association when first sprayed, nor did I when wearing this yesterday other than it being a peppery, citrus vetiver. I do now somewhat, however this is more luxurious than Terre D'Hermes, it really is, to the point I stick to what I was originally saying and comparisons are quite redundant, The point I was making was that they are not totally irrelevant I guess. This is speaking as someone who has recreated many different tweaks on GCMS formulas of Terre and used it as a jumping off point for my own creations and let me tell you like many corners of perfumery which are iconic and breakthrough for a reason, many others will arrive (or intentionally reproduce) a similar journey to get to almost the same destination. But the 'Almost' can be quite a broad church even if you start getting esoteric and talking about 'vibrations' and 'emotions' and such. If I'd immediately smelled Terre I wouldn't be as on board with this perfume as I am. I got more bergamot, malaise of fruit, and eau de cologne, and a sort of generic but still very nice vetiver/cedar. The drydown and card remnant is much richer and rounder even still. A minor tweak of similar materials to TdH no doubt but as I mentioned that can make all the difference.
