Hermes Orange Vert vs. Concentree
10 years ago 0
Hi Fhaldara. Although I haven't smelled either of them recently, I recall the original to be super orangy (which according to spellcheck isn't a real word

) - but I think you already figured that out from the name- it's also slightly soapy, as well as floral with a large dose of neroli/orange blossom. The Concentree is not really that concentrated to me. (though its noticeably stronger) However, it is also very nice & unique. VERY green. I didn't find the amber to be dominant, it's mainly about the citrus, herbs and cedar as far as I can recall. It's probably in there to make the fragrance less bitter and somewhat more "rounded". Although they are both marketed to men and women, I find the Concentree to be more traditionally masculine because it lacks the floral notes and is less fruity. Either one would be excellent for summer IMO.
I hope that helps a little.
