Hermès 2000 EDP
Rouge Hermès
by Akiko Kamei
Hermès Rouge Hermès is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000, created by Akiko Kamei. Rouge Hermès opens with Rose, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Myrtle and Spicy Notes. Hermès's Rouge Hermès carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing opinions with its bold, powdery, and unapologetically classic character. It's a powerhouse for those who appreciate a rich, vintage statement, but it certainly isn't for everyone.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.
