Hermès Eau d’Orange Verte is a Cologne launched in 2009, created by Jean-Claude Ellena and Françoise Caron. Eau d’Orange Verte opens with Lemon, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Blackcurrant, Petitgrain, and Mint, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Moss. Hermès's Eau d’Orange Verte carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

The benchmark for green citrus colognes: effervescent, brisk, and impossibly refreshing, but fleeting. A timeless summer staple for those who want to feel revitalised and effortlessly clean.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

Brilliantly fresh citrus and green notes make this ideal for spring and summer, providing cooling clarity in heat. It lacks the heft or warmth needed for colder temperatures.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its airy, non-intrusive citrus-green profile is perfect for daytime, office, and casual wear, and excels as a post-shower or sport scent. It is too fleeting and light for formal evening occasions.

About

Eau d’Orange Verte opens with a vivid, juicy splash of orange and lemon, immediately invigorated by mint and leafy greens. Crisp petitgrain and a whisper of blackcurrant bud add subtle complexity. The drydown is airy and mossy, with fleeting woods for a touch of structure. The overall effect is sparkling, zesty, and impossibly fresh, like a cool morning garden after rain. Immaculately balanced yet ephemeral, it’s the very definition of 'clean' in a bottle.
