Hermès H24 EDP Review: A Green Renaissance for Modern Men
Christine Nagel’s visionary reimagining of the masculine scent—where moss meets metal, and nature meets nuance.

In this review
In 2022, Hermès released H24 Eau de Parfum, a deeper, more textured evolution of the 2021 Eau de Toilette. Where the original was a crisp, almost metallic green—a nod to the modern man’s fast-paced urban life—the EDP slows down, breathes, and invites you to stay a while. It’s a fragrance that feels like a walk through a damp forest after a spring rain, with the faint hum of a distant city in the background.
This is not your father’s woody aromatic. H24 EDP belongs to a new wave of masculine scents that reject the loud, sweet, or aggressively fresh in favor of something quieter, more introspective. It’s a scent for the man who reads poetry on his commute, who values craftsmanship over flash, and who understands that true sophistication lies in restraint. In a world of viral TikTok fragrances, H24 EDP is a deliberate, almost rebellious choice—a statement that says, “I know what I like, and I don’t need to shout it.”
Let’s dive into the notes, the performance, and the cultural moment that makes this fragrance a must-try for anyone who believes that green is the new black.

6-10 hours
Moderate—sits close to the skin for the first hour, then blooms to a comfortable arm’s-length radius for the next three to four hours before settling into a intimate skin scent.
Moderate—leaves a soft trail that invites closer inspection rather than announcing your arrival from across the room.
