Concentré D'Orange Verte (2004)
by Hermès

Such a shame for the longevity of this scent. Orange and orange leaves, dry but not dry to an extent that they've turned brown, scent I'd buy instantly if it'd last for more than 2 hours. I do know where I'll get my dryness and ornages, it's well known Terre d'Hermes.

I'm rating this neutral not on part of projection, but on part of longevity.

Back in 2003, in Le Parker Meridian in London, their entire bathing products was L'Orange Verte by Hermes. I've never smelled this fragrance until then. The soap, the shampo, the foaming gel and even small colognes were in the hotel bathroom.

Since then I fell in love with this Hermes fragrance. maybe it's the nostalgia of walking through the streets of London in this fantastic smell. But I had to buy a bottle of this juice.

Unfortunately the normal LOV didn't last more than an hour on me, that is until I bought the Concentrè version. It lasts 6 hours on me, which is not usual on my skin, and the extra mint on this formula is very refreshing, although it might sting a little in your neck.

It's my favorite citrus fragrance. Viva Hermes

it is very elegant, classy and a perfect unisex aroma. it is old fashion and modern. I belive you can find this fragance amog the atendees of a polo match or a horse competition. let me be clear, it dosen't smells like horse! ok? one of my top 5.

This is one of the few unisex scents that I wear. A soothing bitter orange, cooled with mint, nicely done. Wonderful for a hot July night in New York City, or anywhere, for that matter.

This is a great scent; you may not love it, but I can't imagine anyone hating it. When I first tried Concentre d'Orange Verte, I thought, "Okay, it's bitter orange. big deal." After a few wearings, I started smelling more to it -- maybe an undercurrent of bitter lemon or some other related citrus fruits. Mind you, I'm not a fan of most citrus scents (I don't like Eau d'Hadrien and its ilk), but this is much, much more complex. Bottom line, it smells refreshing and pleasant, and is perfect for daily use. The only drawback is that it disappears relatively quickly (on me, in about three hours).

Makes me think of a hazy still life painting in an old country manor - Oranges sat on a bed of moss. Almost gothic....Sounds strange i know. This is how i interpret this great fragrance by Hermès.
