hackR Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 @Maxman, @Lobster --> regarding Terre d'Hermes: how best to decide between the parfum and EDT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilFree Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 @Maxman, @Lobster --> regarding Terre d'Hermes: how best to decide between the parfum and EDT? Eau de parfum contains about 7-15% perfume concentrates. This is the most popular and common form of perfume. It provides a long-lasting fragrance and is less expensive than the extract. The life of a parfum is easily 8+ hours. I can spray a couple squirts of Opium parfum in the morning and at midnight it can still be smelled.Eau de toilette has around 1-6% perfume concentrates. This makes for a light scent that doesn't linger as long as the more intense versions. I would say EDT has a life of about 4 - 6 hours.

I mean.... WOW!!!!! Sounds like a awesome fragance Red..It being a Creed...Im sure It's outstanding. + 1 on what Phil said. My personal experence with the Hermes Is this. The EDT Is fine but the EDP is the better choice If longivity and projection are a top priorities.. I posted a pretty good video about the differences on page 8 # 141...top of the page. I prefer the EDP..I think It's a better overall fragance than the EDT. But dont get me wrong.the EDT is very good also. Hope this helps.

Lobster Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 @Maxman, @Lobster --> regarding Terre d'Hermes: how best to decide between the parfum and EDT? Hi, PhilFree explained the concentrations very well. I would say the EDP version is a tad rounder and more ripe than the EDT. I have the EDT and still have no regrets. It lasts longer than other EDTs of other frag houses and easily gives me 8 hours but that is because I am fortunate that my personal chemistry allows for it. It may last less on others. Let's put it this way, after my EDT is done, I will get the EDP. But as a starter, EDT will do just fine unless you are truly in love with this scent and want a stand out frag in your fragrance armoury. "Karenin"s review here puts it best. http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Hermes/Terre-d-Hermes-Parfum-8282.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragrances are like watches, expensive hobby. As for GIT. When I first smelt it I thought meh nothing special. But it then does dry down to something so special and beautiful. Having said that, check out "Surrati Kreed" on Ebay. Also their "Tom Oud", "Tuscan Leather" and "Black Oud". They are oil based reps of the the bigger brand names hinted in the names. Are they good? Effin brilliant good. Easily 95% of their real father smell. As for their price, their samples cost me like £5 all together and they last a long long long time!!

"La Nuit de L'Homme". by Yves Saint Laurent. Just one to two sprays last pretty much all day. A very well made sent. Happy New Year everyone. Mike La Nuit is also a well made fragrance. Their whole range is pretty damn good. I forgot the name of it but it's the same bottle shape only with some light blue writing. It's a fresher summer scent that blew me away. Happy New Year to you Mike and all the fragrance heads here too. And PhilFree, you seem to have one fine fragrance collection there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
