Hermès de Rhubarbe Ecarlate is a Cologne launched in 2016, created by Christine Nagel. de Rhubarbe Ecarlate opens with Rhubarb, settles into a heart of Red Berries and Lantana, and dries down to a base of Musk. Hermès's de Rhubarbe Ecarlate carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This Hermes cologne is a controversial one, loved for its unique, tart rhubarb blast but universally maligned for its fleeting presence. It's a gorgeous scent, a fleeting romance that leaves you wanting more. If only it stuck around for longer.

Its fresh, clean, and understated nature, coupled with poor longevity, makes it ideal for casual wear, quick errands, or refreshing top-ups throughout the day. It's too light for formal events and its intimite projection works well for office settings where strong scents are a no-go.

About

Imagine a burst of vibrant, tangy rhubarb, perfectly balanced by a sweet-sour medley of red berries. A green, almost leafy undertone grounds the fruitiness, preventing it from veering into cloying territory. As it settles, a clean, subtle musk emerges, creating an elegant, crisp finish that feels both modern and effortlessly chic.
