Hermès Hermessence Myrrhe Eglantine is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018, created by Christine Nagel. Hermès's Hermessence Myrrhe Eglantine carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A subtle, elegant rose that's undeniably beautiful but lacks the punch many expect from its price tag. It's a personal scent, more for you than for broadcasting to the world, and some find its demure nature a drawback.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it suitable for office and casual wear, as it won't overpower. While lovely for dates, its quiet nature means it won't project across a bustling room, and it's too delicate for formal events or sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Myrrhe Eglantine opens with a delicate, dewy wild rose, fresh and almost tangy, like petals unfurling after a light rain. This natural, slightly jammy floral heart is soon embraced by a warm, contemplative myrrh. It's not a heavy or balsamic myrrh, but rather an ethereal, golden presence that adds depth and a touch of ancient mystery, culminating in a refined, soft woody embrace.
