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

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.
