It would appear that Eau d’Hermes has been discontinued, as it has disappeared from the company’s website. It is a real tragedy when an interesting fragrance bites the dust Even those who hate this fragrance would probably agree that the perfume world is a more barren place without it; it’s better to hate a fragrance than to find it merely unremarkable -not a term usually associated with Eau d’Hermes.

Some time ago, I remember reading about this fragrance in the Sunday Times(UK) Style supplement.
The description of it as “the divine stink of shameless and corrupt wealth” has stayed with me. This is how I want to smell -I don’t care what my nose thinks!

oh boy, first off, i’m having a cold, my nose is running a bit an my smell receptors are a bit off, nevertheless, i couldn’t wait to spray it on and sniff it. the opening was nice, fresh, brisk, green, hm, i thought to myself, well well, very hermes, i like it. then, after a few minutes, it started to turn warmer, though the green notes were still there, and the warm, sweaty cumin entered the scene, and the only thing i could think of was, robert mitchum’s jock strap, robert mitchum’s jock strap, robert mitchum’s jock strap, and i couldn’t get the picture of it off my mind and it felt nauseating! then after another couple of minutes, the robert mitchum note slowly started to vanish, but of course not completely and it settled into something that reminded me so much of fur coats of old ladies (at least as i remembered it from my childhood), that stale smell…i simply couldn’t help myself. to wrap it up, i had to wash it off. it wasn’t so much the sweaty smell that killed me, it was the stale fur coat smell. i know many will find it blasphemous, but that’s the way my nose goes. of course, it may be i’ll change my mind after i get rid of the cold!

You know what? I really want a bottle of this. Really, really. I feel like it could turn into another one of those “me” fragrances. I am so glad you are enjoying it!
