Trismegistus t. (Declaration Grooming) Terre d’Hermès
Terre d’Hermès smells to me like grapefruit and cedar. I don’t get that mineral flinty note that puts the “terre” into the fragrance’s name. All the same, it smells great, especially in small doses when the weather is warm. DG’s Trismegistus is virtually identical: clean crisp citrus followed by dry cedar wood with a dash of incense at the bottom. If you like the cologne, you will also like the soap. The name ‘Trismegistus’ apparently refers to the philosopher Hermes Trismegistus, whose esoteric writings inspired Hermeticism (worth a visit to Wikipedia to learn more). DG’s soap has nothing to do with philosophical arcana, of course. They’re just playing with the words ‘Hermès/Hermes.’ It’s fun to see how creative soap cookers are when it comes to naming their wares.

TFS Ginestra
Bouki, love TdH. I get vetiver and dirty orange. My most complimented fragrance. Seems to work with my skin chemistry. Fine makes good clone soaps and afs of tdh. I prefer it in the fall though. Mmmm vetiver. Haven't tried the tdh version with amped vetiver. I need to.
Ginestra is good in the summer. The old Broom flower works for me. Must be my Scottish dna.
