7 Best Hermes Colognes for Men

Terre D'Hermes Eau de Toilette Review

Hermes Terre D’Hermes Eau de Toilette takes the trophy as the best Hermes cologne overall. The award-winning cologne (FiFi’s 2007 Fragrance Of The Year, Men’s Luxe) also doubles as the most popular Hermes scent built for men. 

The legendary Jean-Claude Ellena composed the fragrance in 2006 as a matrix featuring various elements: minerals, earth, and roots. 

It weaves a story around man’s age-old relationship with nature, the earth, and the elements found within.

An initial spritz introduces citrusy orange and zingy grapefruit, followed by spicy pepper and flint, a mineral substance. 

Meanwhile, the base consists of masculine cedar, earthy vetiver, and sweet resins, bringing things to an end in a warm, citrusy, woodsy trail.

Terre D’Hermes smells unbelievably good. It’s delicious! It’s also easy to wear, feels luxurious, and goes well with all seasons, meaning it can become a mainstay in your morning routine. 

Furthermore, the fragrance community rates this fragrance as highly as Bleu de Chanel, unanimously agreeing that it is one of the best contemporary scents ever formulated.

Hermes Equipage EDT Review

This was Hermès’ first men’s fragrance. Perfumer Guy Robert was inspired by “the equestrian universe.” 

He developed Equipage Eau de Toilette in 1970, and the scent is as comfortable and stylish as the travel equipment its name relates to.

Equipage is a combination of marjoram, tarragon, cinnamon, oakmoss, and a riot of several other scent notes. 

The blend of lively herbals, aromatics, spices, floral notes, and velvety woods smells terribly exciting and evokes a feeling akin to “restrained yet virile” masculinity. 

While the notes are complex, they blend to form such a warm, spicy fragrance that it imbues the wearer with a sense of camaraderie. 

This 70s throwback will leave you feeling sophisticated, and the trail lingers for long. Wear it to work or when attending an evening event.

The beautiful fragrance comes in a vintage bottle bedecked with a black cap that looks like a riding hat. Charming!

Voyage D'Hermes EDT Review

Ready for a thrilling olfactory adventure? 

Hermes launched Voyage D’Hermes EDT in 2010, a cologne for adventurous travel seekers. 

In the composition, powerful earthy accords contrast beautifully with pure feminine softness. It’s an invitation to discover the unknown, meet, share, and revel in this freedom.

Voyage D’Hermes smells of musk, fresh woods, and fresh green aromas. Top notes of lemon, cardamom, and juniper berries start you off before a heart filled with green accents and florals eases in. 

Toward the end, white woods lend the perfume a distinct freshness while musk seals the deal with sensual warmth. 

This Hermes perfume promises to entice your senses with a delicate, subtle touch. It is comforting yet refined and can quickly become your daily fragrance. 

The Eau de Toilette presents in a travel-friendly flacon, making it the perfect travel companion. 

Better yet, the bottle is refillable, saving you money in the long run since you don’t have to buy a new bottle every time your supply diminishes.

Eau De Rhubarbe Ecarlate Review

If you are a Hermes fan, it’s safe to say your grooming routine would be amis without Eau De Rhubarbe Ecarlate Eau de cologne, a fantastic-smelling fragrance from Hermes.

This unique fragrance effortlessly blends unlikely suspects – citrusy fruits, musk, and vegetal accords – producing a cologne with a playful edge and a characteristic velvety smooth finale. 

A quick inhale surrounds you with a rich combination of juicy berries, fresh yet zingy rhubarb, elegant musk, and a splash of tangy lantana.

Summer is the best time to show off this remarkably fresh scent thanks to its light profile, but it’s equally good over spring and fall. 

Good lasting power, a crowd-pleasing aroma, and gender impartiality add to Eau De Rhubarbe Ecarlate’s broad appeal. 

Christine Nagel crafted this best-smelling cologne in 2006. It presents in an arresting lantern bottle in scarlet tones. The cologne retails at a slightly high price, but it’s worth every cent. 

Terre D' Hermes Eau Intense Vetiver Review

Terre des Hermes’ unprecedented success led to the launch of a new cologne, Terre D’Herm Eau Intense Vetiver Eau de Parfum. 

The fragrance kicks off with green bergamot, meshes with Sichuan pepper, and finally settles into a base of vetiver and patchouli. 

Compared to the OG, Christine Nagel’s reinterpretation comes off woodier, vegetal, and decidedly fresher. The vetiver note is potent, while the Sichuan pepper adds a touch of vitality. 

Eau Intense starts off light and delicious with a blast of lemon, bergamot, and sparkly grapefruit before culminating in a warm, slightly smoky drydown.

The intensity in Terre D’Herm Eau Intense Vetiver is not the heavy kind. Rather, you feel it more with the deep and dominant vetiver. 

Overall, the fragrance has a certain maturity and gives the impression of class and pure refinement. 

But don’t get me wrong – it’s no old guys’ scent. It’s an elegant fragrance designed for classy, down-to-earth gents, age notwithstanding. 

This fragrance hit the stores in 2018.

Un Jardin Sur Le Toit Review

Next is Un Jardin Sur Le Toit, a familiar yet mesmerizing fragrance reminiscent of green gardens, fresh mountain air, and summer sunshine. 

This is no surprise since its concept borrows from a rooftop garden in Paris. The 2011 cologne comprises delightful fresh notes accentuated by green and fruity undertones.

It is classified as an aromatic, fruity scent.

Jean-Claude Ellena’s secret garden unfurls to reveal slightly sweet green and vegetal notes, progresses to crisp, somewhat overripe apples and juicy pears, and ends with a flowery trail underscored by woods. 

Overall, it has the aroma of fresh-cut grass with a sprinkling of apples.

This cologne ticks many boxes. It’s youthful, cheerful, refreshing, unisex, and boasts an attractive smell. Moreover, it comes at a pocket-friendly price, giving you good value for money. 

Still, if you are looking for remarkable performance, look elsewhere because Un Jardin Sur Le Toit only offers slightly above moderate staying power (5-7 hours), settling into a skin scent with extended wear.  

A luminous green perfume bottle is the receptacle for this lively edition of a summery offering. Give it a try for daytime casual wear.

Concentré D'Orange Verte Review

Lovers of citrus aromatic fragrances have a reason to celebrate, as this is one of the best-smelling citrus formulations on the market. Also, the orange flavor is quite realistic,

Fresh, clean, and sophisticated, Concentre d’Orange Verte pulls together juicy orange accords, sensual patchouli, and cedarwood to create an intense citrus-forward ensemble that comes in a charming, deep green lantern-shaped flacon. 

A feisty explosion of fresh citruses hits you from the opening stage. Zesty orange and green orange leaves play the lead, accentuated by lemon, mandarin, mint, and basil. 

Meantime, the final phase ushers amber, cedar, and patchouli, culminating in a deep, sensual, and woody drydown.

This is a beautiful composition full of energy, youthfulness, and vitality. Moreover, it is a classic fragrance yet extremely easy to wear- just the stuff you want to have on hand when going away on a summer holiday.  

The one downside with Concentre d’Orange Verte is that the performance is underwhelming. Longevity is a moderate 4-6 hours. 

Sillage and projection are not loud either, with the cologne settling on the skin shortly after application. 

This is no hassle if you love the scent and don’t mind refreshing. Besides, it smells incredibly good, and the price is reasonable.

Concentre d’Orange Verte Eau de Toilette came out in 2004 and its developer was Jean Guichard. It makes a distinctive signature scent.
