Eau d'Hermes

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on bergamot, lavender and lemon, moves through cardamom, cinnamon and cumin, and settles on leather, birch and sandalwood.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• lavender: clean herbal flower, cooling and slightly soapy

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
