Hydra

by Ilias Ermenidis

Contes de Parfums Hydra is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Ilias Ermenidis. Hydra opens with Watermelon and Mint, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Hyacinth, and dries down to a base of Sea Water and Musk. Contes de Parfums's Hydra carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This marine-floral fragrance excels as a fresh summer staple for those who adore aquatic scents. It’s well-loved for its unique take on watermelon and mint, though some find it a bit too common, like a thousand other designer aquatics.

Its fresh, aquatic profile makes it ideal for casual wear, sport, and warmer weather. While potentially suitable for an office, its distinctiveness might be a bit much for some professional settings; it's a bit too 'beachy' for formal events.

About

Dive into Hydra, a floral fruity aquatic that conjures images of sun-drenched Greek islands. It opens with an invigorating splash of juicy watermelon and crisp mint, quickly followed by the elegant bloom of hyacinth and jasmine, lending a delicate floral heart. As it settles, a distinctive marine accord emerges, blending with clean musk for a lasting impression of salty air and seaside freshness. It’s a clean, green, and uniquely aquatic aroma.
