Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - de Rochas

A divisive citrus classic, Eau de Rochas splits opinion with its sharp, vintage charm. Some find it a refreshing summer essential, while others are put off by its 'old-school' or 'masculine' edge. Love it or hate it, it's certainly got character.

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.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office

Its refreshing citrus-aromatic profile makes it fantastic for casual wear and sport, especially in heat. While some find it too masculine for formal settings, its clean and energising nature can work for a relaxed office environment.

Basso

Seasons

Spring Summer Autumn

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

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.
