Eau D'Hermes

by Edmond Roudnitska

Hermès Eau D'Hermes is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1951, created by Edmond Roudnitska. Eau D'Hermes opens with Lavender, Petitgrain, Sage, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Geranium, Cumin, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Leather, Birch, and Sandalwood. Hermès's Eau D'Hermes carries a Statement verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This isn't just a perfume; it's a statement. Eau D'Hermès is a polarising, animalic citrus that some call a masterpiece, others a 'sweaty curry'. If you like your scents with an edge, and perhaps a touch of naughtiness, this Roudnitska classic is an absolute must-try. Just don't say we didn't warn you about the cumin.

Also Works:
Casual

Its bold and animalic character, while deeply sensual, makes it a bit much for most office environments. It shines on a date or for a formal evening out, where its unique and warm spicy leather accords can be truly appreciated. Too intense for casual sport wear.

About

A complex dance of bright bergamot and lemon cuts through a rich aromatic heart of lavender and sage. The real intrigue kicks in as warm spices - cumin, clove, cardamom, and cinnamon - intertwine with a sensual leather and a subtle, yet unmistakable, animalic undertone. It dries down to a sophisticated woody base of cedar, sandalwood, and oakmoss, softened by vanilla and tonka bean. It's a scent that hints at forbidden pleasures beneath a refined exterior, making it both fresh and deeply carnal.
