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.
A faithful take on 212 Men's grapefruit-sage-musk skeleton, though extra gardenia, incense and labdanum push it warmer and heavier than the crisp NYC original.
