Take A*Men and remove the chocolate note and add a dose of orange note and you got Terre D'Hermes

While wearing my sample of Terre D'Hermes for the 2nd day in a row... I realized that Terre D'Hermes smells like A*men without the chocolate note and add the orange note... that's what I get out of Terre D'Hermes... do you get the same?

Purely my opinion... I am a fan of Terre d'Hermes but to me A*Men smells like liquid garbage.

I don't see any similarities personally. Take a men, take out the heavy tar opening, take out the patchouli and the creamy gourmand qualities in the dry down, add vetiver, dirty citrus notes, flint and a touch of pure earth. You have taken everything that is amen out of amen and now created terre d'hermes. But you can do this with any two fragrances that are opposites.

For the record ill take TdH.

Patchouli. Terre feels like A*men in cooler/colder weather, when (I've noticed) the patchouli in it becomes more prominent. In summer Terre is nothing like it. In fact it's nothing like any other thing I've smelled.

All said, I'll take TdH over A*men anyday. Smooth, natural, versatile. And fills you with confidence.

Not to me. Own and love both of them.

No way. That's an insult to Terre d'Hermes.

I don't really see the similarity, but to each their own.

I find A*Men far more unique and interesting. Both great scents though. Dont see much similarity.

Based on your analogy, all scents would be similar to other scents in a way or another .

So i don't agree with you .

I can't see this comparison at all

No........
Also, do you get a quarter for every thread or something??
post #14 of 29
No.

Maybe but you'd have to remove more notes than chocolate from A*Men.

No freakin' way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A scary thought I'm glad I dislike both of these.

While I love Terre d'Hermes, I very much dislike A*Men, so my short answer is: no way !

On a similar note, if you take the tobacco and vanilla notes out of Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille and replace them with pineapple and smokey leather, it would smell just like Creed Aventus.

Either OP has a bad nose or is just trolling?
post #21 of 29
Don't see it. I do wonder though that if you took the oud out of Pure Oud and substituted coffee what that might give you??

Please do not drink and sample fragrances.

Hehe, I agree. Not such a good combination.
post #24 of 29
Not really, maybe only if the chocolate note is taken away and, aside from orange, much more vetiver is added
post #25 of 29
Sorry, Not at all...
post #26 of 29
Not to me. The thought didn't even cross my mind until I read the thread title.

Take the chocolate note out of A*men, and you are going to have something that smells a bit like B*men.

I tried A Men Pure Shot yesterday.
After 10 minutes or so, it reminded me strongly of TdH.

I don't find much similarities between regular A Men and TdH, though.
