Hermès Eau d'Orange Verte Eau de Cologne (100ml)
The Founding Cologne of the Hermès Universe
Created in 1979 by Françoise Caron, Eau d'Orange Verte is a masterpiece of timeless freshness. It was inspired by the scent of undergrowth moist with morning dew and has since become an emblem of the Hermès house. This iconic Eau de Cologne is the perfect harmony of vibrant citrus and deep, woody undertones, designed for those who appreciate a classic, sophisticated vitality.
Why You Should Choose Eau d’Orange Verte
-
The Original Signature: This is the fragrance that established the "Colognes Hermès" collection. To wear Eau d'Orange Verte is to wear a piece of perfumery history, offering a scent that is universally recognized as the gold standard for citrus-green compositions.
-
A "Phyto" Freshness: Unlike sharp, synthetic scents, this EDC feels "botanical" and organic. It captures the realism of a crushed orange leaf and the bitterness of citrus zest, providing an immediate sense of well-being and invigoration.
-
The Ultimate Shared Fragrance: Effortlessly unisex, its clean and crisp profile makes it a versatile staple for any wardrobe. It is particularly sublime after a morning shower or as a refreshing "splash" during a warm afternoon.
Olfactory Profile
This fragrance is a sustained explosion of citrus notes, where the orange plays the central role supported by a lush, green background.

The Green Heart: Infused with Mint leaves and Blackcurrant buds, which add a cool, aromatic, and slightly sharp green layer.
