Which Should You Buy?
This one's a quality, upmarket take on the classic Terre d'Hermès DNA, but don't expect a revelation. If you appreciate the original but crave a smoother, richer, less bitter and more overtly green vetiver, then Vetiver Imperiale might just be your slightly overpriced, luxurious cup of tea. It's divisive only on price and originality, not on quality.
A luxurious woody fragrance with an intriguing blend of spice and elegance, ideal for fall and professional settings.

The warm woody and spicy elements of Colonia Ebano make it especially suitable for cooler weather in fall and winter, yet its freshness keeps it relevant in the transitional spring season.
Occasions
With its moderate projection and luxurious character, it's well-suited for professional settings and romantic dates. It's too refined for casual or sports settings.
