Parfum d'Hermès (Eau de Toilette)

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter a clear third, and it leans towards night out and evening wear while also drawing votes for daytime and the office. It reads feminine and classic. It has been discontinued.

It opens fresh and green with aldehydes, bergamot, hyacinth and galbanum. The heart turns floral and powdery with rose, iris, ylang-ylang and jasmine. The base settles into a woody, spicy, resinous warmth of vetiver, sandalwood, cedar, frankincense, myrrh and amber. Halston Halston and Hermès Rouge Hermès have a close profile.
