Which Should You Buy?
Voyage d'Hermes Parfum is a divisive one. While many adore its sophisticated, natural cardamom and fresh citrus, a vocal minority find it too subtle or, bizarrely, reminiscent of flea treatment. Not everyone gets the hype, but those who do are utterly devoted.
Divisive yet undeniably iconic, 212 Men is a fresh, green time capsule. Some declare it a timeless masterpiece, others a dated relic. If you're after that unmistakable pre-social media NYC swagger, this could be your juice.
