Product of the Week: Collection Colognes Hermès
Tried and tested: Collection Colognes Hermès
Three absolute summer favorites: Eau d'Orange Verte, Eau de Pampelmousse Rose and Eau de Gentiane Blanche from Hermès. Because of the low concentration of alcohol, the colognes are ideal in hot temperatures and can not leave pigmentation marks on the skin even in the sun.
In 1979, Hermès developed Eau d'Orange Verte, a slightly tart lemony scent of orange, tangerine, lemon and mint. Eau de Pampelmousse Rose and Eau de Gentiane Blanche has redeveloped perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena. How do the newcomers smell? Eau de Gentiane Blanche may not be for everyone. A little incense-like, definitely tart. But somehow very special, elegant and fresh. Gentian and white musk are in the game. Not for lovers of feminine, sweet or dramatic fragrances. A spell that ignites only on the second and third nose - but then it works!
Eau de Pampelmousse Rose is pleasantly light and refreshing. In addition to the Hermès-typical vetiver note, a sparkling citrus freshness is at the forefront of the unisex fragrance. The composition with fruity grapefruit adds a touch of sweetness. Suitable for athletic sprayers who love lightness and almost never use heavy perfume. But also for gentlemen who like it a little lovely.
The only drawback: We would wish that the Colognes accompany us even longer. Unfortunately the scent disappears quite quickly.
