Warm powdery aura
I remember meeting Rouge Hermès in the early years of my journey as a perfume lover. The advertisement caught my attention with a model in a dance position on fire, as if the perfume did get metaphorically like that. To my surprise, the perfume itself was just nothing sexy or carnal, with a worthy composition of a lady of their 60-70 years with elegance, something powdery, floral and contained.
The Eau Delicate version, however, was a surprise and became what I personally call protective perfume, those who seem to form a serious, sober and compelling aura that help you face very cold days. It is interesting that a gentler version could do this, but the original was powerful enough to allow a change a little more delicate without losing its strength.
Rouge Eau Delicate still has a very prominent talc aura of a powder passing a warm, sweet impression. The rose seems more evident in this composition, a rose with a drier side, rough, slightly metallic, blended with ylang that helps give a more sweet floral side and strengthens the resinous powdery feel of the base. At the opening you can see, paying attention, a touch of berries that helps bring more lightness in the opening compared with the original version. The basis of Eau Delicate is similar to the traditional, an aroma of hot resins, a slight hint of iris that only becomes apparent at this moment and a hint of soft musks finish this hot powdery composition.
When the Eau delicate version was discontinued Hermès relaunched the first incarnation of Rouge Hermès, known as Parfum d'Hermès, and transformed the Eau Delicate version in the Rouge one. The Délicate one despite not being more modern is fashioned from a more affordable and yet elegant way. It is likely that the most current version is still close to Eau Delicate, which I still need to check as soon as possible.
