Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Hermès Eau de Rhubarbe Ecarlate is a harmonious blend of chords, where three key elements dominate: pink pepper (red berries), rhubarb, and musk.

Unlike the traditional pyramid with a clear separation into top, middle, and base notes, here these components intertwine, creating a unified and dynamic composition that unfolds smoothly from the first seconds to the final trail.

The fragrance begins its journey with the spicy and fruity note of pink pepper, which adds a light spiciness and energy, then moves to the juicy and green accent of rhubarb, bringing freshness and naturalness, and finally envelops with warm and sensual musk, providing a soft and long-lasting base.

This mixed structure allows the perfume to maintain its brightness and liveliness throughout wear, making it an ideal choice for those seeking an unusual and memorable fragrance from the aromatic family with elements of green, musk, and spicy notes.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin.

At first, it seems appealing, but after just a few minutes, it turns into ordinary soap. Sorry, fans, but it didn't develop on me at all. After a bright citrus opening, a scent emerges that resembles warmed mandarins with some strange spice and hints of cleaning products. The fragrance isn't bad, but I don't consider it a perfume for myself. Maybe 15 ml in a travel size would be suitable for fun

The scent is quite simple, but there's a charm to that. Rhubarb is clearly in the foreground, and the musk sounds very gentle, not getting lost in the overall palette. Pepper feels like it's somewhere far away, but still adds an interesting touch. Overall, it's a refreshing cologne with a light tartness, perfect for summer days 🌞
4/5

The rhubarb here is indeed tart and juicy, and the musk doesn't have a soapy undertone - that's great. The bottle also pleases the eye with its color. For summer, it's simply a find. Longevity, though, could be better 😌

It's all a bit strange. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. And now I want it in my collection again. I haven't found anything yet that could replace these round, plump cranberry berries. In winter, it smells especially good, then there's none of that neutral unfolding

Finally I got them! 😌 I feel simply incredible. This fragrance is a real find, but it's impossible to describe it with words, they just don't convey its full depth. Someone will be thrilled, and someone will turn away, but no one will be indifferent for sure. I'm just thrilled with you!!! That's it, I'm going on a "binge" 😔

Well, what can I say. Interesting, yes, but not something to be absolutely thrilled about. The longevity, as already mentioned, leaves much to be desired. Why wear it then? As an acquaintance used to say, for that kind of money, you could fly around the world three times. They should really work on making the fragrance last longer. If they succeed, I might just join the fans

How strange all this is. I bought a bottle, and looking at its gorgeous color, I couldn't resist getting 100 ml. But something went wrong. I only used 15 ml, and now, when I open the bottle, I smell a completely different fragrance. The berries that used to be prominent are gone. Now instead, I smell soapy musk, and something in between grapefruit and peach. And this alarms me, because it has started to remind me of Masakï Matsushïma Flow, which I already own. Honestly, I'm bewildered. What happened to my perception? )

How interesting it is! The bright rhubarb with tart berries is simply striking. I'm not sure how it will be in summer, but until mid-spring, it smells very fresh and pleasant. The longevity, of course, isn't top-notch, but for this concentration, it's quite normal

Oh, how I adore this fragrance! 💖 I used up just 15 milliliters in a couple of weeks in April. It's so bright and tart, like you're actually chewing on a rhubarb stalk and washing it down with sweet berries, like lingonberries or cranberries. The scent is simply wonderful! 🌸 In summer, it felt a bit heavy to me, and the musk didn't quite unfold, but in cool weather, it played out in a new way and became a real hit! 🎉

This summer scent is simply super! The rhubarb just oozes freshness. And the base is so delicate and appealing, which is really unusual for colognes 😍
5/5

The scent is simply incredible, it fills you with energy and lifts your mood. The rhubarb here stands out with its bright sharpness, and the pepper adds vigor. The musk smells very clean and pleasant. This cologne is perfect for warm spring and summer days

This perfume smells of fizzy rhubarb with a tartness, a little ticklish on the nose. There's some fruity-berry note, but I can't quite pinpoint what it is. On a blotter, the scent lasts all day, and a bit less on the skin, but on the skin, it becomes sweeter, which pleasantly surprised me 🍓
5/5

This Hermès cologne, Eau de Rhubarbe Ecarlate, stands out not only with its vibrant red bottle. Inside, an interesting blend of berries and rhubarb is hidden, framed by citrus notes and light floral accents of rosehip. Vetiver adds a touch of green, creating an unexpected contrast. It's refreshing, like an icy drink on a hot day - a feeling of ripeness and silkiness, but I can't quite tell if I like it or not 🤔
5/5

The fragrance unfolds from two sides, as if showing us different facets of the plant. Rhubarb plays the main role here, its bright green leaves and ruby-red stalks create an impression of freshness. This is not just a smell, but a true POWER, juicy and spicy, smoothly transitioning from one shade to another. A fougère type perfume, it suits both men and women, giving a feeling of lightness and vigor
5/5

This fragrance is like a breath of fresh air, but with a sour note that makes you think. I first smelled it on my aunt, and it was something incredible - my head spun with pleasure. When I put it on myself, my husband was absolutely delighted! The same day I was already rushing to the nearest mall for my bottle ))
