Eau de Cologne Hermès, launched in 1979, is classified as a unisex fragrance, drawing from the fern, citrus, and aromatic families. Part of the Colognes collection, available as eau de cologne.
It carries a moderate sillage, leaving a trail that lingers pleasantly in the air. It stays on the skin for a good while — longevity is firmly in the moderate range. Brand country — France: a place that truly knows its way around a great scent. Eau de Cologne Hermès — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A fresh and light fragrance with a concentration of fragrant substances up to 5% according to French standards, giving a feeling of purity and coolness
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Eau de Cologne is built as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Hermès comes through in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de Cologne keeps the right density and pace of development.
The accord architecture is driven by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Fruit with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Musc, Wood and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The gender direction is unisex, which clarifies the composition character. For persistence Middle indicates a stable lasting impression.
At the opening of the pyramid you detect sparkling citrus first notes: Basil, Bergamot, Coriander and Lemon.
In the middle phase you meet Lavender, Lily of the Valley, Neroli, Orange leaf, Rosemary and honeysuckle carrying a aromatic green direction.
From the group perspective the profile is anchored in Aromatic, Citrus, Spicy and Fruit. It also reaches into Green, Whiteflower, Floral and Wood.
Taken together Eau de Cologne holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint.
