I'll start off by saying I like flankers. I have my share of them, but if you've already got the EDT version of Terre D'Hermes and it's not even close to being finished then you don't need this. The differences are almost impossible to notice and I can understand why, as this is just a "pure parfum" version of TDH in the line. The biggest issue I have with this one is due to the fragrances "weight" it almost refuses to project. The longevity is similar to the original EDT of this as well. This is for collectors who want to complete a series at best. Due to the lack of projection maybe this is more office safe but that's about it.
