Amazone is really classy stuff! It smells like Givenchy III, Chanel No 19, Chanel Pour Monsieur, Lancome's Climat, Guerlain's Chamade and PdN's Temps d'Une Fete all got together, decided to combine the best of all their parts, and this is the fantastic result: Green, smooth, utterly impeccable, classy floral/green-chypre. Amazone is absolutely unisex and one of those anytime, anyplace go-to "white shirt" fragrances. I especially like the earthy, almost smokey oakmoss and vetiver that grounds it more than its more ethereal & floral cousins. It has a late summer "meadow & dried leaves" accord that is fantastic. A must-try for green chypre lovers.

When i tried it on paper and on my wrist i have enjoyed many sparkling flower and citrus notes. I was planning to buy one when my sample runs out. But then i wore it on a hot day and i got too much pepper note which would make you think i ate too much chilis and sweating paper aroma. I could not believe to my nose at first try and retried. Result same. have to forget about it.

A really great outdoor or run about town scent. Casual, but not too citrusy, still feminine. Thats the thing with the Hermès scents. Always feminine, but not like a "poule" or blowsy.

Actually on my skin Amazone reminds me of a deeper and less synthetic version of Coty's Emeraude. This dries down really very nicely. Iris, narcissus and oakmoss among other notes. Like other Hermes EDP's this lasts very well on the skin. Personally, I find this a very ladylike and demure scent. Quite appropriate for church or a wedding. Enjoyable, but not bottleworthy for me. It just doesn't have that naughtiness I crave!

Transparent and green, yet firmly anchored with warmer oriental notes. Like layers of forest greens illuminated by the tropical sun, glowing and dew-covered. Works very well on a man's skin.
