Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Basso

This is a seriously polarising scent: some love its unique twist on a classic, claiming it elevates the Terre d'Hermes DNA to new heights, while others dismiss it as an overpriced clone with little originality. You'll either adore its refined, woody-citrus freshness or wonder why you didn't just stick with the original.

Our Verdict - Vetiver Pour Homme

Roja Dove's Vetiver Pour Homme is a masterclass in vetiver, delivering unparalleled smoothness and sophistication. While praised as a benchmark, its eye-watering price point and sometimes subtle performance make it a divisive but ultimately beloved 'if-you-can-afford-it' luxury.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Formal

Also Works:

Date Casual

Its refined, clean, and elegant profile makes Basso highly suitable for formal and office settings, especially given its strong yet not overwhelming projection. While it can be worn casually, some find its intensity a bit much, and the sophisticated woody-earthy accords aren't ideal for sport.

Best For:

Office Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its elegant nature and moderate sillage make it suitable for office and formal wear, where sophistication trumps projection. While it's noted as an 'easy reach for the day', some reviews indicate a more 'discreet' projection, making it equally fitting for intimate date settings.
