CREATION

Eau d’Hermès is the first perfume from the house of Hermès. Designed in 1951 by perfumer Edmond Roudnitska, it evokes “the inside of an Hermès bag where the aroma of a perfume floats”.

OLFACTORY NOTES

A citrus and spicy fragrance, Eau d’Hermès is an eau de toilette where the radiance of lemon petitgrain and the dazzling energy of cardamom combine with the warmth of cinnamon.

THE OBJECT

Inspired by the lanterns of yesteryear's cars, the bottle is topped with a black cap echoing the riders' bomb. A sign of belonging to the Parfums-Fondateurs collection, the label on the back is illustrated with a drawing by Philippe Dumas.

THE COLLECTION OF FOUNDING PERFUMES

The Parfums-Fondateurs collection draws its inspiration from the house’s heritage. Each creation concentrates the imagination of Hermès in a name, a fragrance, a color. Over the years, Hermès has written the pages of daring perfumery, born from encounters with exceptional perfumers. Designed in 1951 by Edmond Roudnitska around a citrus-spicy-floral theme, Eau d’Hermès is the house’s first perfume. He draws his inspiration from the evocation of a wonderful and sensitive smell: “The inside of an Hermès bag where the aroma of a perfume floated…

A note of fine leather coated with fresh citrus scents and spiced with spices,” commented the composer. A historical novel inspired by the tradition and culture of the house which is aimed at both men and women. Powerful, sensual writing.
