Hermès Amazone is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1974, created by Maurice Maurin. Amazone opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Neroli, and Rosewood, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Hermès's Amazone carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This isn't just a classic; it's a confident, complex green floral that smells far more modern than its age suggests. Forget "mumsy" - Amazone brings a unique bitter fruitiness that sets it apart from the crowd, pleasing some while intimidating others.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its green, clean, and classic character makes it office-appropriate, though its bold opening might be too much for some. The unique profile suits elegant casual wear and could add a touch of sophisticated intrigue to a date night, but it's not a go-to for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a sharp, verdant burst of galbanum and violet leaf, underscored by tart blackcurrant and redcurrant leaf, evolving into a sophisticated bouquet of orris, iris, and hyacinth. The journey culminates in a rich, earthy drydown of vetiver, oakmoss, and sandalwood, with a surprising subtle warmth from amber and cinnamon.
