Yardley London Hermina is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Nelly Hachem-Ruiz. Hermina opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Rose, and Pear, settles into a heart of Myrtle, Heliotrope, Pepper, and Fig, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, and Patchouli. Yardley London's Hermina carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A divisive scent that some find uniquely herbal and elegant, while others dismiss it as thin, metallic, and utterly nondescript. If you’re into green chypres with a peppery kick, this could be your unexpected gem- otherwise, prepare for disappointment.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its herbal and fresh spicy character makes it suitable for office and casual wear without being overpowering. While some find it elegant enough for formal settings, its lack of overt sweetness or warmth might not suit all date nights. Not really a sporty fragrance due to its sophisticated, cool profile.

About

Hermina opens with a refreshing burst of basil, grounded by the subtle sweetness of pear and a hint of sparkling bergamot. As it settles, a distinctive pepper note emerges, intertwining with the soft, powdery heliotrope and fig, creating a unique fresh spicy heart. The base eventually dries down to an earthy blend of patchouli and cedar, warmed by amber, providing a dry, cool character with an unexpected longevity.
