Eau D`Hermes (for women and men)

Auguszta

The classiest, smoothest Eau ever. I'm a huge fan of Hermés scents but I've only just discovered this one. And I'm so glad I did! It would easily become my staple summer scent if it wasn't so hard to get.
There's a classic feel to it, but it isn't old-fashioned at all. The citruses mingle with cardamom, the light scent of geranium, the woods, mainly cedar, and just a hint of leather. The lavender is present at all stages, but it's very soft, very muted. I was suprised to see there's supposed to be vanilla in there somewhere, thankfully I don't get any of that. I don't get any sweaty note, either, probably because I'm compatible with (and like) leather.
The blend is perfection. It's the definition of understated, casual elegance. I find it to be very cosy and relaxing. It's a scent you can't go wrong with. It won't shout, but for an Eau it has pretty decent staying-power. Do try it if you ever get the chance!

It does have a sweaty hint to it. But not too much. I wouldn't use it to cover up a bad smell. It's more of something you'd put on if you really didn't have much of your "own" scent.

I recently bought a bottle of Eau d'Hermes (EdH) after reading as much about it as I could online, but having never smelled it. EdH was described as 'animalic' 'citrus', and 'spicy.' Several reviews described it as the smell of sweaty sex. Despite having read as much as possible about it, including everything Jean Claude Ellena had ever said, I was unprepared for EdH's dynamism and most mesmerizing qualities. The first thing I thought after smelling it was that it was the weirdest fragrance I had ever smelled: laced through-and-through with cumin, dandied up with dried flowers, and sparkling with hints of citrus, it was quite a surprise. The top notes of clover, cardamom, lavender, and cinnamon quickly subside to a delightfully warm skin scent predominated by cumin, but wearable in all seasons; A true Roudnitska masterpiece. I look forward to wearing it frequently. One cautionary note, though: Cumin is not listed on this site under the fragrance notes, and it is most definitely very present.
