24 Faubourg is a fragrance that transcends time and season, yet captures the moments we want to keep forever. Effortlessly chic and magically sensual, this floral perfume unites precious flower oil with creamy sandalwood, warmed by amber and vanilla for an elegant aroma. Spicy ylang-ylang blooms against peach flesh, warm orange blossoms against bergamot sherbet wrapped in peppermint leaves—smells like every moment is yours to own.

Equally perfect as an energizing morning scent as it is as a nighttime refresher before date night.

Hermes Eau Des Merveilles

Eau des Merveilles is a fragrance for women who want to feel powerful and glamorous.

Hermès Eau Des Merveilles smells a bit exotic from the minute you spray it on. It’s fresh, clean, and light but also has a sophisticated edge. The first thing that hits me is citrus notes followed by pepper, amber, and other spices that linger for hours after application. 

I’ve been wearing this perfume as my signature scent for years now because I love how feminine it makes me feel – so powerful. It’s subtle enough to wear at work or leisure activities but big enough to notice when I walk into a room.

4. Hermès Un Jardin Sur La Lagune

Hermes Un Jardin Sur La Lagune

Hermès Un Jardin Sur La Lagune is a perfume for women and men. I always liked the idea of unisex fragrances, even before Un Jardin Sur La Lagune was released. This scent is like my little oasis in a fragrance world overrun with stereotyping. I don’t know how many times people told me you can only wear women’s perfume if you’re female and men’s if you’re male. But guess what? No one has to tell us what we should smell like because our nose knows when something feels right.

Infused with magnolia, Madonna lily, and sea notes, the fragrance radiates a salty breeze that brightens up the morning. This lightness carries on to the heart where it’s softened by samphire and woody notes. Designed for early summer wear, you’ll be happy to have worn it year-round.

This sweet, refreshing amber scent takes you on an exotic olfactory journey. Beautifully composed by perfumer Christine Nagel, who packs a punch with her sense of balance, each layer is expertly woven together for a harmoniously intoxicating scent. Un Jardin Sur La Lagune will leave you feeling refreshed and relaxed.


5. Twilly D’Hermès

Twilly DHermes

Twilly d’Hermès is a contemporary fragrance for women that has the expensive quality of an Hermès fragrance. Yet, it makes you feel like yourself.

L’Ambre des Merveilles is like a gentle, warm embrace of honey and vanilla cream. This scent will linger long after it leaves its mysterious and intriguing decanter. Wear it in winter though because this perfume has warm and comforting notes that might be too mild for summer days.

Tips for Choosing the Right Hermès Perfume

With 119 different fragrances to choose from, I am sure it can get a little overwhelming.

Here is what to pay close attention to when choosing your Hermès fragrance.

Notes

If you prefer citrus notes, a safe bet for any man or woman is the Hermès Eau De Citron Noir while Hermès Caleche is the ideal feminine floral aldehyde fragrance. For men who love their scents spicy and earthy with a hint of citrus, the timeless Terre d’Hermès (also the most popular for men), will fit in just well. The equivalent of Terre d’Hermès for women is Eau de Merveilles, a scent that could easily become your signature perfume and keep you company day and night.

Oil concentration

The fragrances fall into the following categories: Eau de Toilette, Pure Parfum, Eau de Parfum, and Eau de Cologne. While the notes are still the same, what makes the difference is the concentration of essential oils the juice has. With Hermès fragrances, you will find EDT, EDP and Eau de Cologne. 

Eau de Toilette

Most Hermès fragrances fall into this category. If you don’t want the scent to follow you around all day, then this EDT is the right choice. EDT has up to 18% of essential oils making the fragrance light and ideal for everyday wear. Try H24 the newest EDT for men or Eau d’Hermès EDT, the first fragrance by Hermès.

Eau de Parfum

If you want to stand out from the crowd and make a lasting impression, then Eau de Parfum is your perfect choice. Give Terre d’Hermès EDP for men a try or Eau de Merveilles for women. Or wear Voyage EDP for women and men for a day and keep a close eye on people’s reactions.

Eau de Cologne

Hermès made Eau de Colognes for all who love their scents subtle. Due to the small amount of oil in them, Eau de Colognes are ideal for everyday wear, any season, any occasion. If this is the type of fragrance you are looking for, any of the Eau de Cologne collection by Hermès is worth a try.
