Jour d'Hermès

Jour d'Hermès by Hermès is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2013 in the premium price tier. It opens with lemon and grapefruit, moves into gardenia, jasmine and rose and dries down to musk and clean musk. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
• Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.

Heart

• Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
• Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
• Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.

Dry-down

• Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
• Clean Musk Fresh laundry and soap. Safe and universally liked.
