The first fragrance by Hermès. A powerful and sensual eau, rich in citrus fruit and enhanced with spices. Created in 1951 by Edmond Roudnitska, Eau d'Hermès explores a citrussy, spicy, floral theme and is the house's original fragrance. It draws inspiration from the idea of a magical, deeply sensory, aroma: The inside of a Hermès bag where the scent of a perfume lingered...A note of fine leather wrapped in fresh trails of citrus fruit, seasoned with spices, - was how the perfumer-composer described it at the time. A historical novel, inspired by the tradition and culture of Hermès, a powerful, sensual writing style. A fragrance for both men and women.
