When Hermès Was Not Yet a Synonym for J.C. Ellena

I would have never expected this beautiful fragrance from Hermès, as it has a completely different aura than the other perfumes from this brand.

The first impression for me is radiant, floral-light green, and immediately very feminine but in an elegant way. Here, Parfum d'Hermès reminds me of all the fine women's fragrances that glance at Chanel No. 5, yet manage to take a turn in their own distinct direction. This fragrance is just like that. The floral heart - powdery and light - is draped with a delicate veil of iris and transitions into a cozy and less formal part. Because the base is indeed a whole lot more private. Now the lady has kicked off her pumps and propped her silk-clad leg up.
In the classifications, I see that "oriental" has also been checked. I cannot relate to that, as the spices, and even the myrrh, do not remind me of the Orient in any way. I would rather suspect juniper than clove and cardamom. The myrrh has a slightly rough and velvety quality, which dims the dazzling floral splendor. As a partner, incense stands by her side, which, in my opinion, does not play a significant role here, but rather casts that elegant, silvery-gray veil over everything, making Parfum d'Hermès very desirable for me.

Since the perfume truly belongs to the past, I will gladly turn back time every now and then and enjoy a drop.
