Hermès Hermes is a Cologne launched in 1953, created by Edmond Roudnitska. Hermes opens with Papaya, Bergamot, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Petitgrain, Neroli, Lavender, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Hermès's Hermes carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This isn't just an Eau de Cologne; it's a refreshing blast from the past, perfect for warmer days. It's got that undeniable Roudnitska sophistication, even if it's a fleeting pleasure.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Its fresh, light, and somewhat fleeting nature makes it ideal for casual wear, office environments, and sports, as it won't overpower. The limited longevity and sillage mean it's less suited for formal events or dates where you might want more projection.

About

A vibrant burst of bitter citrus, led by lemon and bergamot, immediately invigorates. This quickly intertwines with an aromatic heart of basil and mint, edged with a subtle herbal blend of lavender and rosemary. The drydown settles into a classic, albeit soft, chypre base of oakmoss and cedar, lending an elegant, mossy depth to the initial zest.
