I have a lot of perfumes in my collection and I've smelled 100's of samples. This EDP-strength version of Voyage d'Hermes is my absolute favorite. It's a very cedar and cardamom scent.
Voyage d'Hermes Parfum comes across as a restrained aromatic spicy woods scent.
It starts with a dominance of cardamom and a bare whiff of green juniper. Next to the subtle warm wood note, there is a slightly sweet presence - perhaps the amber - that starts to crawl out, and overall Voyage d'Hermes Parfum feels like a mystical experience that is heady and classy.
I do see this Parfum being appropriate for both men and women: It has enough of a masculine edge with the woods, and it has a muted pseudo-floral angle that can work on ladies, if they don't mind that controversial cardamom that remains front and center here.
A fresh, thought-provoking scent overall.
Cool warm musk mint pine
Shouldn't be so damned tasty
And yet here we are.
very nice and unique. Office wearable. Sophisticated. Great performance.
Fantastic!
I have been testing this one for 3-4 years but was for some reason hesitant towards it. It grew on me slowly. I would say this is a scent for a man or woman but 35+ Wearing it to the office or dinner out with good friends. It is for sure not something you would wear when going out clubbing.
You have been around the block and you know that you now appreciate quality over quantity.
Some weeks ago i was in a meeting with a male colleague from a subsidiary office but could hardly focus. I just felt this warm and sensual scent. During a break I had to ask him which scent he was wearing.
Although I consider myself straight I felt attracted to this guy because of the aura it created around him. Funny the effects scents can have. I finally got a bottle 2 weeks ago and I love it.
I can for sure feel the vetiver and citrus. But it's not in your face zesty. There is a clear amber and musk in the base which makes this one very warm and balanced.
I would describe it as wearing a cashmere sweater. It keeps you warm and makes you slow feel comfortable.
Think this will become the signature scent i have been looking for a while.
Fantastic for autumn and winter. During spring and summer I think I will go down to EdT which is more crispy.
Masterpiece very well composed.
