Hermetica Paris Source1 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Hermetica Paris's Source1 carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its intimate sillage and clean, subtle profile make it perfect for the office or casual wear where you don't want to overwhelm. While some might find it suitable for a relaxed daytime date, its lack of projection and intensity make it less ideal for formal events or sports where you might want something more robust.

About

Opens with a brisk, bright hit of bergamot - sometimes tart and sharp, sometimes a softer, cleaner citrus. This zesty freshness quickly melds into a subtle woody core, hinting at cedar or a more abstract 'fresh woods' accord. The base is an understated amber, lending a touch of warmth and sweetness, though many find it stays stubbornly close to a light, airy skin-scent throughout its moderate lifespan. It’s minimalist and transparent, focusing on a few key elements.
