Toro Pour Homme Glace

This is an incredible value. I love the original Terre d'Hermes and the DNA, so I thought I'd give Eau Givrée a decant, and volià, another banger by Hermes, but I couldn't justify getting another expensive designer at this point, so I blind bought Glace, which was at sale at the time for just 13$. This is an insanely close clone to Givrée. My nose can detect some minor differences, especially in the opening, but my brain does get confused which is which and I cannot pinpoint them. After 15-20 minutes they smell almost identical on my skin. Glace might be a tad more mineralic and has the tiniest bit more sweetness, so Givrée has automatically a little more of that earthy vetiver note, but they are so so close. It's clearly meant to be worn around spring and summertime, but you can wear this whenever you want and should offend no one. If this smells like cleaning products to you or cat urine like one reviewer wrote, go to the doctor as soon as possible. If you like the DNA and would like to own an excellent Hermes clone on the cheap, you can't go wrong with this. No maturating needed, the fragrance just works right out of the box. As for which one I like better: Considering the price, Glace is the clear winner. Going by smell and quality alone: This is a little harder, leaning towards Glace, because it seems to have a tiny amount more "Oomph!" to it after the dry down. An absolute underrated sleeper of a fragrance that you will adore if you like the Terre D'Hermes DNA and are looking for a springtime / summertime banger.

Clone of Hermès Terre d'Hermès Eau Givrée. I liked the original Toro so much in nailing TDH profile that I figured it would be worth it. It opens with this cooling minerality and bright citron. The heart is a peppery gin and tonic as the juniper berries hit before the base of earthy vetiver woods comes through. If Toro is a very good in the high heat, this is closer to great in the high heat; it mimics the Givrée icy nature, subbing rinds for citron but is pretty close in heart and base. It lasts a decent amount of time for a high heat Summer fragrance too. Easy to love.

It doesn’t quite have the refined, high-end quality of Hermès Terre d'Hermès Eau Givrée, but it surprisingly does a fantastic job capturing the scent profile—and actually outperforms the original in longevity! Like many Arabian clone fragrances, the synthetic edge fades as it settles, making it smell even closer to the real deal over time. For 10 euros? Absolutely worth it, no question.

Exquisite stuff, zingy funky goodness. If you are a fan of TdH Eau Givree, which I certainly am, then you would love this little gem. I think Eau Givree is quite unique. The genius of Christine Nagel to achieve that minerality in the original is impossible to recreate but they have had a great go at it here. Again, if you are a fan of Eau Givree, give this a try.

Very similar to TdH eau givree. very summery,citrusy scent. in first 5-10 minutes it does come off like a mosquitto repelent pa after that it smothness down and becomes very pleasant. i did opened it right now so i will wait and see what happens in month or two... Asked 3 women friends about the smell and they all liked it. So,for now happy with my purchase.
