Eau D`Orange Verte Hermes for women and men

A well-crafted and complex kind of scent -- the definitive cologne in terms of a fresh, clean smell. Extremely refreshing in hot weather and can be worn by both sexes. They also do travel sizes and I managed to find other products like body shampoo, body lotion, etc.

Superb! Strong scent, clean, refreshing!
Sometimes, I sprinkle it as a base and adds a refreshing touch of perfume such as Eau de Portofino!
Excellent result!
Now I finished a bottle and I'm going to buy a new or similar (I realized that Hermes did this cologne more powerful edition!).

100 points out of 100

Bright and fresh in the summer, too good for wearing in a sticky office.

Eau D'Orange Verte is an intriguing scent that's defied classification for me. Like other Hermes scents, it's very complex and rich, but not too heavy. I agree with some other posters that the 'orange' is not a traditional orange scent, but rather more of a bitter-sweet orange; more akin to the smell of a pomander orange, or dried tangerine peels (like those used in Chinese incense.) In spite of that, it still manages to remain fresh.

Unfortunately, D'Orange didn't last too well on my skin. The dry down was quite strong and I had to admit that it wasn't a good chemical match for me - it became somewhat dusty-smelling, like old powder. But I know D'Orange works very well for other guys, so I still highly recommend it. And yes, on that note, I really do think this is much more of a man's scent.

The fragrance is vivid, nice, fresh like orange juice nevertheless it's too short to become something special. 2-3 hours (3-4 max, my case - only for first two hours) and it's gone( All i have is reminiscence of tasty fresh orange. Forbidden. Hope Eau Concetree version has better longevity.
Perhaps the point is in EDC, though there are many fragrances in EDC versions that have much better longevity than this one.
Generally, love Hermes, love this smell, but disappointed with its longevity. 2 hours of Orange Happiness - to cheer yourself up)Glad it's not expensive (another advantage). Good fragrance for a hot day (or for 3-4 hours of a hot day))

Found something interesting: try it on polo shirts in warm weather.
I don't know why but the power will increase in double and you can clearly sniff it. Also try it after shower but don't wash off skin fat layer completely; let it mix with your chemistry.
I found it by chance and enjoyed a lot!
And by the way, impossible to be a Floral Green perfume; definitely a Citrus Aromatic one.

EAU D' ORANGE VERTE
DATE:1979
BY:FRANCOISE CARON

A green bottle, a citrus garden,a generous and universal Cologne...Citrus,minty,woody...
So fresh,clean,sparkling and well-being for the whole family...a fragrance to share.Peppermint,mandarin,orange,orange tree leaves,lemon.I love the soap of EDV and All over Shampoo,a stimulating freshness.

I tested this fragrance out today and I have to say it really is quite beautiful. It is not a juicy orange, but rather almost the scent of a bitter orange peel that has somehow fell on a forrest floor.

I loved it!! It is VERY refreshing, natural smelling, and very very clean. Almost like a very classy soap.

The problem is the lasting power of this is about 20 minutes. Literally, its just gone. I know there is a concentrated version of it and I will have to try that one out.

But, really if you live in a warm climate and are looking for a classy citrus fragrance you should 100% check this one out.

This is one of my top favorites,specially in summer,and i also love the soap...
The first time i smelled this beautiful fragance was in a trip to Paris, i remember in the hotel i was staying there were Hermés Soaps in the Bathroom and fell in love with the fresh scent, inmediatly i ran to Galeries Lafayette to purchase the Frangance and the Soap.......

Whole my hometown in a drop of perfume! Whole our orange farm in a bottle!
This stuff was launched in 1979, before I was born and I thought it must be for after 2005!
The main theme is citrus leaf and not citrus own. Unripe citruses are bold just after initiating and You can't smell anything extra easily because citruses obscure other notes. It's absolutely a citrus overdose.
It's the best for summer if you live in a place by the sea and tropical areas. It's young, friendly, earthy, simple and comforting.
It opens and ends with a same pattern and plays massively, great sillage and projection but poor stability. It only remains for less than an hour.
There's no hint of classic perfumes. There's no hint of time and being related to any group of perfume; it's something natural which smells like perfume!

longevity 4/10
sillage 10/10
scent more than 10/10!

I sampled some this morning (thanks kittykati!) and my husband said, "Eau Sauvage?". Now I can't get HIS suggestion out of my head!

It really DOES remind me of Eau Sauvage, which is a citrus aromatic. I get a blast of citrus (in particular orange and lemon). Only later do the florals peek through. It's lovely enough, but now I can't seem to shake
the connection between the two colognes -- especically since both my husband and father-in-law used to wear Eau Sauvage regularly.

It's a cold November day here, and I can absolutely see why this would be a warm weather scent. I'll tuck this sample away for a few months and see how I feel about it then.

Hi.

A Scent that Evokes memories of younger days.I was a Little Surprised to hear that it is a UNISEX i think Eau D'Orange is not Too Feminine,More Appropriate for a Modern Man With Classic Taste. Subtle,Delicate,Clean, Refind,Freshness,Pleasant,Soft,Green and Citrusy.

It is a Naturally classic scent with a Refreshing mix of The Citrusy notes (Definitely Orange) as Opening is So Lovely Without Loud.It reminds me a Gentle Spring Breeze.In Fact an Elevating fragrance that Energizes the body and revives the Spirit.

This is a great fragrance to wear Everyday.Ideal for SPRING and SUMMER seasons Especially on days when the Sun and the Sky blends in absolutely perfect together with weather and a Light Breeze.I Recommend it for a Cheerful Character.

Sillage?Decent.

Longevity?I wish it had a better Longevity on my skin.

this is pure class, old school chic smell, i am young and i use this masterpiece... chic, chic and sofistication at its best... you can wear this almost everywere.. a high class, masterpiece interpretation of an eau de cologne.....

this is a wonderfull scent . such pure refinment and quality . it truly represents "HERMES" at its best.

the wonderfull zesty opening clamly cooling down to a tangy orange. this perfume is amazing in the summer , the only downside is that its off a little bit too fast !

otherwise this is one of the perfumes i like to call "eternal luxury" and "refined class" !

This is the only men's cologne that I can wear (and think I can pull off). I am a real fan of Hermes perfume house and I love UJSLN and Eau des Merveilles. If you are in to fragrances without sweet notes and if you like green-refreshing colognes this is one of the best. Great in very hot weather.

A wonderful old school, high-quality cologne. There is only one fault; it is quite faint, dissapears quickly.

I had a small sample bottle of this cologne. Was very reluctant to wear it, as it was uni-sex.

When I tried it on, out of curiosity, I was hit with a fan of orange, citrusy strips and a warm green flavour. An interesting cologne, though, as a girl, I tend to wonder... do girls wear cologne??

Upon opening the bottle, I was caught by surprise. Rich woody notes and a heated mint mixed with fresh orange and citrus fruits.

This cologne is both orange and green in a scent/sense and warms the wearer as if they are walking through a sunlit forest not far from an orange orchard. An excellent scent for any time of the day during those hot summer months.

Great on both men and women.


This cologne is light and tasteful during the summer season, being refreshing and smart, but needs a couple of re-applications here and there. A great scent. ^_^

i found myself turn to this cologne more often than any other perfume i have. because i live in a very hot climate country and everytime i wear this i'm wraped with freshness.

i'd like to call it a glass of Mojito!

Hermes Eau D'Orange Verte opens with an opulent and astringent BlAST of green (slightly bitter and somewhat sour) orange. At first I did not like the sour tang because I expected a sweeter more sedate orange. But now I cannot wait to finish shaving (with Cremo Cream, a traditional orange fragrance shaving cream) and get that arresting and delicious blast of tangy orange.

Perhaps my bottle of the cologne needed to breathe before it delivered the full ratin of all fragrances in its composition. Perhaps I just had to become accustomed to the blend. In any case, I now find that delcious slap to the senses a delightful mood elevator that makes me come to focus and alert.

A Warning: This is a short lasting fragrance with little lasting power, as is typical of all true citrus colognes. Following the tangy orange experience the cologne quickly settles close to the skin with light florals.

A pleasant citrus and floral air shadows the skin for a longer time than it appears to the wearer of the scent. In intimate moments with another person, they will either smell the echo of the fragrance, or it will sneak in just at conscious level.

I find that Mugler Cologne, another apparently short lasting "eau" blends well with Hermes Eau D'Orange Verte, especially after the Verte has dried down close to the skin. Both these evanescent concoctions last longer on me than most others report, but I believe that is because the wearer cannot smell these fragrances as well as an intimate companion. I find that they reinforce each other.

Many people will find Hermes Eau D'Orange Verte the most delightful citrus cologne they have experienced. It is a unique,invigorating, and fleeting experience. But it is also great fun, and a superior scent.

green green and green!if I could describe this fragrance in a color I would say it's all green.
this is absolutely a perfume from Herme.it has the familiar unique and unisex scent that you can't find in any other perfume of other company and like all of herme perfumes,it smells very natural,not necessarily nice,but something you don't feel uncomfortable while wearing it and it doesn't have any floral ingredients.
it has strong bitter and sour lemon scent mixed with green notes.it's not sweet at all and I don't feel any flower there,still it's unique and nice.but it's not for everybody.only those who like this kinds of unisex,natural smelling can wear it.

Today I could not decide between this fragranc and that of CDG's Incense Series: Kyoto, so I mixed them together. Eau D'Orange Verte is the dominant scent.

What a beautiful and relaxing combination. I feel like I have walked through a jasmine field (notes from Eau D'Orange Verte) as I head toward a Buddhist Temple. Once I am walking up the stair to the entrance of the temple I pass baskets of citrus fruit offerings(notes from Eau D'Orange Verte). Once in the Temple the incense (from CdG:Kyoto)welcomes you.

Agree to agree with chocolateguy, this is so refreshing! If your into orange this is a good one This unisex fragrance is very similar to Bond No 9's Little Italy minus the heavier misty musk. Lasting power is perfect. I bought this for my husband and he likes it. He wears this and I wear Little Italy, a great couple combo fragrance which makes us feel ready for a trip to Florida, the sunshine state to catch a few rays and indulge in their famous OJ! (orange twist martini for me a screwdriver for him)!

Full of orange! A wonderful combination of citrus notes -> a really refreshing feeling for one who wears it. Very attractive, just like a wind in the summer. I love it!

Today I was in the mood to wear this fragrance but wanted to add a little talc note to it. I started off with Bvlgari Petits et Mamans body lotion.

The combination of these two scent reminded me of walking into a clean, newly born baby'd room with jamsime floral arrangement and a fresh fruit basket to the side of it.

I was stopped twice today to be asked "What are you wearing?"

Beautiful. Wear the Extreme for a significantly longer lasting scent.

I enjoying wearing this fragrace in the Spring and Summer. It is a refreshing scent and light. Eau D'Orange Verte is not long wearing or over powering in hot climates(if desire longer wearing get the concentrate version).
