Fresh class!
Another winner in my Hermes’ “concentrés” book, together with Pamplemousse Rose. Orange Verte does again nothing less and nothing more (no, actually a bit more) than you would expect from its name; more “green” than “orange”, showing also a fantastic discreet ambery-floral-woody vibe which provides a subtle yet delightful warm and silky feel underneath the sparkling bitter freshness of the top notes. All revolves around a realistic, albeit ephemeral zesty lime-orange note and a more persistent and realistically bitter herbaceous-green accord, which is fresh, grassy and crisp like freshly-cut branches, well enhanced by woods. Wildly “botanical”, but with the irresistible Hermès’ touch of clean and distinguished understatement, and this “Hermès treatment” is what makes this special and quite unique if compared to the dozens of other “fresh green” scents. Most of these Hermès “concentrés” manage to be simple to the bone, terribly realistic, and terribly sophisticated too. Legitimately short-lived given the notes, but totally great until it lasts.

Concentré d'Orange Verte
Concentré d'Orange Verte (CdOV) from Hermes is the ultimate joy maker. Its exceptional quality becomes obvious from the moment its first drops land on your skin. The zesty orange note combined with the mint have an invigorating effect on me. This explosion of tart freshness is, however, relatively short-lived as the scent calms down and proceeds to its less pronounced herbal-woody heart and base (including the notes of basil, patchouli and cedar).

From the longevity point of view, do not expect any wonders from CdOV. In fact, I find the adjective "concentré" a little misleading. It has to be understood in the context of traditional colognes. On my skin, CdOV turns into a skin scent rather swiftly. I do catch gentle whiffs every now and then, but this fragrance, just like any other eau de cologne, is meant to evaporate quickly in order to be reapplied (in generous quantities) a number of times during the day, which I'm delighted to do.

On balance, if you want to avoid smelling ozonic-aquatic-sporty in the heat of the summer but are rather looking for a refreshing, citrus-based summer scent, I wholeheartedly recommend this exquisite cologne from one of the finest present-day fragrance houses. Have fun!

Brief, But Brilliant!...
This is a beautiful composition of bitter orange and green herbs, with a very nice menthol undertone. Very minimalistic, but very effective and refreshing. It is the kind of simple concoction that you can spray and spray, and it will not come off as offensive or overpowering to others. It is a perfect scent for hot weather. If you are looking for a longevity beast or a big projector I suggest you keep looking, as Concentre d"Orange Verte is a skin scent primarily with only a couple hours of longevity per wear. I confess I love it and feel it is well worth a purchase. 4 to 4.5 stars out of 5.

Straight to my favorites list
I love Hermes colognes. Eau d'Orange Vert was my first, and it became the standard by which I judged all fragrances of this type. It took me some time to purchase Concentre d'Orange Vert , I'd read many reviews which said it was almost identical to EOV, if you had one, you didn't need the other, etc. I also have Eau d'Orange Douce, and THAT was said to be very similar too. I find these three fragrances differ enough to justify purchasing all of them, and I'm on a strict perfume budget (well, I try to be anyway). Concentre opens much greener on me, the orange is there, but it's more subdued. It's a sharper citrus, bitter in the very best way, but then it mellows just a little, allowing sparks of something sweeter ( the amber maybe?) to pop up under the citrus, but it stays green all the way to the end of the woody/patchouli base. The longevity is surprisingly good, I got a solid six hours from it , the sillage is moderate. An excellent addition to my collection!

Fantastic green orange perfumue with sub-par performance
Even as a young child, I always liked the scent of oranges in the summertime. This is why I have been super excited to snatch Hermes Concentre D’Orange Verte at an affordable price.

Even before I had purchased this perfume, I knew that its weakest points were poor projection and longevity, but I couldn’t care less. Finding out just how natural was the aroma of green oranges couldn’t get out of my mind.

Here are my 5 quick takes:

- The best orange-based perfume of all time
- A citrus aromatic fragrance with average longevity
- Created by Jean Guichard in 2004
- Best used during warmer seasons on any occasion
- Poor performance keeps it from getting bigger appreciation

Hermes Concentre D’Orange Verte is a great citrus-based fragrance for an affordable price, but with poor performance.

I believe that those who enjoy the art of perfumery will enjoy this perfume the most, as it tells a beautiful story, and refreshes your mind.

Oranges with peels and rubbed leaves have a tart, bitter-grassy scent. This spicy freshness gives a tonic effect.
