Celebrating the Niners winning today with some Xerjoff Monkey Special. This stuff is addictive. I need to get a hold of Defied and see how that is.

One of the worst weeks in my life ends with this amazing scent.

After having tried the EDT and Eau Givree, I went into the Parfum expecting a deeper version of the same thing. What I got was similar DNA, but the emphasis is clearly shifted. Here’s what i think. The opening is smoother and less aggressive straight away. The citruses are almost the same, but that peppery spice from the EDT is missing. Because of that, the Parfum doesn’t have the same rugged/dirty bite, but instead, it feels darker and more grounded from the start. As it settles, the moss comes through in a big way. This is the main difference for me. The Parfum leans heavily into a mossy, green that instantly reminded me of H24 EDP. The vetiver is still there, but it doesn’t feel as mineralic or gritty. In the EDT, vetiver leads with dryness and texture. Here, it’s blended into the moss and woods, making everything feel smoother and more cohesive. After the drydown, The base stays green, woody and slightly warm, without turning sweet or heavy. Overall, it feels more polished and less expressive than the EDT. Performance is stronger but quieter. I will get around 8-10 hours at this rate, but projection is more controlled (roughly 1.5-2 ft) as expected from a parfum. It doesn’t push out as much as the EDT, instead staying closer to the skin and feeling more refined. Comparing the two, the EDT is brighter, spicier and rougher around the edges. The Parfum removes the pepper, adds moss, and shifts the focus to depth and smoothness. The EDT feels more raw and textured. The Parfum feels calmer and more composed. Overall, I would give Terre d’Hermès Parfum an 8.85/10. It doesn’t replace the EDT, but it offers a different take on the same DNA. If you enjoy Terre d’Hermès but want something smoother, greener and less spicy, this is an easy recommendation. I plan on getting the EDT, Eau Givrée and H24 EDP. Out of the 3, the EDT is the only one that could potentially be replaced by something I haven’t tried yet, but the Parfum isn’t taking that spot. Here’s my ranking of the line so far:

Recently bought some decants from decantx and the projection and longevity is not as strong, is this normal and any tips? Is some decant sites better with performance? PDM Layton 10 ml PDM Sedley 10 ml PDM Greenley 10 ml m micallef GNTONIC 10 ml azzaro forever wanted 3 ml

Fresh, fruity (grapefruit), citrusy (bergamot, lemon), spicy, bit floral opening Not a typical citrus blast but an elegant one, not the fleeting type Masculine, modern, mass-appealing Great projection and sillage Great for office and large outdoor gatherings Best for Spring, Summer and Fall Vetiver (gives the sharpness), woody (cedarwood, sandalwood), musky, bit ambery, bit powdery dry down Heavy, transparent glass bottle, golden magnetic cap, pressurized atomizer Great longevity Very prominent for 3-4 hours and stays as a skin scent for 3-4 more hours Great overall performance I would highly recommend Kumkat Wood ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very high quality fresh scent Vibrant-Exhilarating-Energizing Frequently compared to TDH eau Givree but in imo it is more approachable, less harsh.. (more playful) they definitely go in different directions and not redundant to have both
