PowderyWhat does Jour d'Hermès Absolu smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office lead the occasions. Most voters read it as feminine.
A citrusy, green freshness lightens the floral heart. The fruity, sweet side softens through the apricot blossom, while spicy and powdery touches keep it from turning too sugary. Its profile is close to Jour d'Hermès (Eau de Parfum) and Dior Miss Dior Eau Fraîche.
