Tried out just based on pretty vague but well written “description.” I know Hermes is a really solid brand, so I wasn’t too worried. I’m 38, male. At first spray, wasn’t too sure yet. After letting it warm up on my skin, the word that comes up first is “interesting.” It smells masculine but not punchy. Smells very “sophisticated.” To me it smells like: wet clay stirred with a cedar spoon in clean ocean water. Like a really fresh, clean, sauna with clean ocean water steamed over the rocks. Really happy with this purchase. I keep smelling it on me and it’s just really *interesting* A captivating scent.
