Hermes Eau De Pamplemousse Rose

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on bergamot, guaiac wood and rose, moves through amber, cedar and lime, and settles on cedar, georgywood and hyacinth.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• guaiac wood: smoky, tarry wood with a soft sweetness, like the smell left after a campfire

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.
