Concentré de Pamplemousse Rose by Hermes

I'm starting this thread because there seems to be basically zero information out there on this fragrance. I believe it is fairly new release, and I wanted to know if anyone has tried it. I am curious as to if the smell is different in this concentrated version, as well as what kind of projection/longevity to expect.

I have this and don't notice any detectable difference. The longevity is much better than the original for me.

GF and I were testing scents at Saks, and I didn't double take at the bottle when she was testing it, just immediately said "you gotta try Nicolai's Balle De match if you like that one", I just assumed it was the Eau until I saw the threads on here about it being "Concentre", I gotta go back and test it, to see if the moss or vetiver or base strength/opaqueness have been increased. If it's good, I hope they release 200ml bottles, cause just like Concentre D'Orange Verte, I assume I'll still need a very heavy application.

Me too! Love the cologne, but it basically doesn't make it out the door to work. This sounds like something that can at least make it to lunchtime.

I meant to post to this and forgot! Anyway, the concentree has pretty good longevity, quite amazing for a citrus really. Probably an hour or more. What a juicy, appetizing pink grapefruit note. Not much more, but it does that very well.

can you please clarify this. because your post currently reads that the longevity is 1 hour. which would not be "quite amazing".

I think they smell a bit different. I was just at the Hermes boutique a sniffin last week and tried this. Nothing I ever try at Sephora makes an impact on me, but when I go to the source, its a different story. I really loved the original, and then the SA pulled out the concentree and his advice was the non concentree was better "in his opinion" and I tended to agree as well. I just liked it better for some reason. Now does Anybody at all get a Christian Dior Eau Sauvage vibe to this fragrance? There is something I find intoxicating, especially after about an hour that just makes me think of Eau Sauvage, and I thought this could be its replacement until the duration lasted as long as the ES.
