Hermès Concentré de Pamplemousse Rose is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2011, created by Jean-Claude Ellena. Concentré de Pamplemousse Rose opens with Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Vetiver. Hermès's Concentré de Pamplemousse Rose carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A fantastically realistic grapefruit scent that punches well above its weight, even if it vanishes quickly. It's an instant love for many, offering a summery, fresh hit despite its fleeting nature.

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:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, light citrus and woody profile makes it perfect for casual wear, office settings (where it won't offend due to its poor longevity), and sport. It lacks the depth or projection needed for formal events or a romantic date.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

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

It kicks off with a hyper-realistic, juicy blast of pink grapefruit, almost immediately joined by an earthy vetiver that grounds the zesty citrus. The rose note is delicate, subtly present as a fresh, green nuance rather than a sweet floral, keeping the primary focus on the vibrant, tangy citrus and its woody counterpart. It dries down to a clean, woody-citrus skin scent.
