Ginepro Nero

I don't understand people who always need to compare fragrances to some very popular brand. Is it "clone" of any other - no, it isn't. I think most of commeters just don't understad how perfumes are constructed, any synergies etc and probably just copying opinions from anothers. So, my point is - is it really much cheaper than Terre d'Hermes? No, it isn't, it's like 2/3 of Terre d'Hermes. Is it really "clone" of any Terre d'Hermes? No, it isn't. If are you really looking for a clone - then go and buy really cheaper clone, there's a lot in the internet. What exactly is simmilar? Pepper and vetiver or juniper and cedar (depend of version of Terre). Was Terre d'Hermes first which mixed pepper and vetiver or juniper and cedad? I have no idea, but I don't think so... Anyway they are not "clones" for sure. What is absolutely amazing in all Erbolario scents - they all are super natural, very simple and tasteful. They are not "spectacular", "schocking" or "super modern", they are more like a modern-classic scents inspired by tradition - and this ins they power. Ginepro is very good scent especially for young men who want's to feel like a classic man but with a note of "teen spirit". For more adult men I would recommend rather Accordi di Ebano or capriccio of classic Cologne - Uomo. Junipro might be your school/office scent, but i would like to advice - apply it 1-2 hour earlier because opening is very strong. Maybe it is better to use at afternoon/evening. I have never worn Terre d'Hermes (just tested them on arm) - so I can just imagine they have simmilar base tones (vetiver and black/pink pepper) but is is kind of "traditional men mix" - so it is not because Junipro is trying to be a clone of anything. I love incense perfumes and this is the example how to mix incenses with citrus and wood tones to make "smoky-fresh" masterpiece. A bit to sweet for me (it' probably because of orange and a lof of juniper fruits) but I like to use it as like refresher for a heavier, woody scent, so they make a good ballance together. Very good quality, natural perfume.

I own this perfume and I didn't even noticed the similarity to Terre d'Hermes before reading here below, but hey..we all know that there is no future after TDH and Encre Noire..let alone a past. To be fair, in this perfectly crafted scent, there is the masculine vibe you'd look for in a masculine scent, without making it old fashioned (whatever that could ever mean). Main note is juniper berries, to those who have never smelled a juniper before : it smells like Ginepro Nero. So expect a very balsamic, woody yet fresh sensation. Clean and uplifting. Vetyver is there to support the show along with a subtle pepper but, no surprises, everything is ultra-balanced. Longevity and projection are up to the skin, but I'm sure it won't fail to create a pleasant aura around the body. In my opinion L'Erbolario keeps on displaying a superior craftmanship and a niche quality that you can find only in way more expensive houses.

A versatile citrusy woody fragrance close to Terre d'Hermes family. But a little more green and resinous.. Masculine and fresh can be used in every season. The only problem here is its longetivity. Maybe that's the reason that is not so popular.. 8/10

This is not a TDH clone, this is TDH done right. Much more pleasant to my nose, more complex and much more friendly with my wallet. A fragrance that's always gonna be in my collection, I totally love it.

Truly beautiful! In my opinion it's not similar to Terre d'Hermes; the orange note in fact is not prominent as in Ellena creation. Woody, dark, peppery.....a must try.
