Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - A Midsummer Dream EDP
This one's a proper grower, isn't it? A divisive Roja that polarises opinions like Brexit, but ultimately, it's a classy, sophisticated wear for those who appreciate traditional perfumery. Don't expect a crowd-pleaser; this is for the connoisseur, not the newbie.

Our Verdict - Terre d'Hermes Flacon H 2020 EDT
A modern classic that’s a grower, not a shower. It's a bit 'marmite', with some loving its distinctive earthiness and others finding it too challenging. Don't judge it on the first sniff - give it time to work its magic.

Season and Occasion Fit

A Midsummer Dream

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its sophisticated aromatic and woody accords naturally lean towards formal and date settings, conveying an air of elegance. While refined, some find its projection too intimate for certain occasions; however, its refined nature makes it suitable for an understated office presence if not oversprayed.

Terre d'Hermes Flacon H 2020

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date Formal

Its distinctive woody-citrus character makes it suitable for casual wear and can certainly elevate an office look, provided it's applied lightly. While not overtly romantic, its sophistication works for dates. The earthy tones might be a bit too rugged for very formal events. It's not a sport scent due to its depth and lack of pure freshness.
