Parfum d'Hermes

by Akiko Kamei , Raymond Chaillan

Hermès Parfum d'Hermes is a Parfum launched in 1984, created by Akiko Kamei and Raymond Chaillan. Parfum d'Hermes opens with Galbanum, Aldehydes, Hyacinth, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Iris, Jasmine, Rose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Cedar, and Amber. Hermès's Parfum d'Hermes carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a classic, but not for everyone. If you're after timeless sophistication with a bit of a green, powdery kick and a warm, embracing drydown, it's a winner. If you're not a fan of aldehydes or strong green openings, you might be out of luck.

Best Seasons

Best For:

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its sophisticated and rich profile, coupled with strong performance, makes it unsuitable for casual or sport wear. It shines in formal settings and dates, though some might find the initial aldehyde burst a bit much for the office.

About

Opens with a sharp, green brightness from galbanum and aldehydes, joined by the fresh, almost sparkling scent of hyacinth and bergamot. The heart unfolds into a rich floral bouquet of elegant rose and iris, softened by jasmine and ylang-ylang. It settles into a warm, balsamic base of amber, incense, vanilla, and spice, deepened by earthy vetiver and creamy sandalwood.
