Our take
What does Jour d'Hermes smell like?
Composed by Jean-Claude Ellena and released in 2013, Jour d’Hermès perfectly captures the perfumer’s style: suggesting rather than describing, sketching rather than filling in. Grapefruit and lemon open with a zesty, luminous freshness. The heart is a lightly handled white bouquet: creamy gardenia, slightly fruity and green sweet pea, and a white-flower accord that hints more than it declares. Musk and woody notes stay discreet in the base, leaving an impression of cleanliness and clarity. It is a sheer, elegant floral that evokes morning light rather than an opulent evening bouquet.
When to wear it
A daytime scent for spring and summer, at the office or a lunch. It suits lovers of light, refined florals.
It belongs to the Floral family. Jour d'Hermes is one of 6 creations by Hermès in our encyclopedia.
