Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Voyage d'Hermes Parfum
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Sea Quest EDP
Sea Quest chases Voyage d'Hermes Parfum - that cardamom-and-lemon spice over tea, green notes and woody musk. The crisp, elegant unisex mood comes through, but it renders flatter with softer projection, sketching the original's refined spicy-woody balance rather than fully matching it.
