Hermès Galop d'Hermes is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Christine Nagel. Galop d'Hermes opens with Quince and Saffron, settles into a heart of Rose and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Musk and Leather. Hermès's Galop d'Hermes carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

Galop is a divisive one: a luxurious, well-crafted rose-leather scent for some, a synthetic, screechy scrubber for others. Its hefty price tag and sometimes fleeting performance adds to the controversy, but devotees find it an inimitable high-end statement. You'll either adore its equestrian fantasy or be left looking for the artistry.

About

Galop opens with a bright, tart burst of quince spiced gently with saffron, quickly ushering in a rich floral heart where plush Turkish rose meets the apricot-like nuance of osmanthus. This fruity-floral elegance slowly settles into a buttery, animalic leather base, softened by a clean musky dry down. It evokes images of fine saddlery and delicate blooms.
