Hermès 1986 Edp
Bel Ami
Hermès Bel Ami is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1986, created by Jean-Louis Sieuzac. The fragrance opens with Sage, Cardamom, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Orris, Basil, Jasmine, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Coconut, Leather, Vetiver, and Oakmoss.
Our verdict on Bel Ami: Acquired
Hermès Bel Ami is a beast of a fragrance, a true classic leather chypre that commands respect. While recent reformulations don't quite match the beast-mode vintage, the current version is still highly-regarded, projecting an aura of elegant, mature masculinity that's hard to dispute.

Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
Its sophisticated leather and woody accords make it a perfect fit for formal events and dates, signalling class and gravitas. While too heavy for sport, it can be dialled down for office wear, though its strong sillage initially means casual wear might be too much.
