When Amazone launched in 1974 the woody floral was a sensible and well-populated genre. Ranging from heavily aldehydic numbers like l’Air du Temps and Fleurs de Rocailles to glowing classics like le Dix and le De, woody florals had always been above reproach. But the times they were a-changin’ and the perfumes that weren’t keeping pace were starting to seem perfunctory and stale. Floral aldehydes had been dominant for so long that they had developed coded meanings to those in the know. Chanel 5 was sophisticated, l’Air de Temps was naive, Estée was tight-assed. But to the great majority of people who smelled them they were just soapy and antiquated. Woody florals struggled to strike the attitude that would appeal to the young woman of the 1970s. New green perfumes like Chanel 19 and Diorella spoke to a more provocative femininity and found an eager audience. Amazone seems designed to find a middle ground between old and new styles. Whether it was successful is difficult to answer.
Amazone would likely have seemed too blatantly fruity to the woman who wore Calèche, Guy Robert’s aldehydic woody floral that was the only other female fragrance Hermès offered in 1974. Traditional woody florals carried the citrus topnotes needed to create a pyramid but Amazone put fruit front and center. It was a starchy green floral built from taut spring flowers and apparently a whopping dose of blackcurrant. It was crisp rather than lush and while it was a new style for Hermès, it had the conservative sensibility of the house.
To the modern nose shaped by florals like Escada Chiffon Sorbet and Alain Delon Samourai Pinkberry (an actual perfume, apparently) Amazone comes off like most other woody florals from previous generations. Pick your favorite word of disdain–they’ve all been used. Mumsy, frumpish, dowdy, démodé. Amazone was Hermès’s first attempt to find a young female market and the brand wasn’t known for nurturing a socially progressive buyer. Amazone didn’t try—or didn’t try hard enough—to target the boho bougie style that Dior and Chanel nailed with Diorella and Cristalle. The perfume’s warrior name implied an audacious femininity that the perfume didn’t deliver. Hermès seem to have gotten a foot in the door to the rising feminism of the decade but never quite opened it and marched through. The image of femininity it conjured was conflicted and contradictory, a bit like another oddity of the era, the folk-singing nun.
With Amazone, Hermès mediated the youth movement of the era by effectively ignoring it, a pattern the marque would repeat when it launched the jaunty Eau de Cologne Hermès/Eau d’Orange Vert into the heart of the punk era in 1979. Denial or cultural tone-deafness. Pick your choice.
But time heals all blah, blah and vintage Amazone is an excellent wear today for anyone who chooses to reclaim it. (There are plenty of vintage bottles still available.) The florals are dynamic and the woods are rich but understated. The perfume has an acidulated snap that flouts today’s ongoing trend for sweetened fruits and florals. It’s a wonderful bit of irony that defying trend–which made Amazone seem out of place in 1974–makes it seem novel today.
Maybe it’s a result of my Catholic schooling by nuns. Maybe it’s my contemplation of the the self-restraint involved in wearing a full religious habit. Either way, the singing nun routine strikes me as just the right kind of kink and I happily wear Amazone while the refrain of “Dominique” echoes through my head.

I was wandering around a very posh shop when I stumbled into the perfume area ; big mistake really as I am utterly addicted to fragrance .
I have a love of Hermes Caleche , especially in a warm climate and I also love 24 Faubourg – they are similar but different enough to be distinguishable from one another .
For me Amazone is a heavier , woodier version of Caleche without the aldehydes ,, and a more grounded version of 24 Faubourg – I can tell they all come from the same stable but have different pedigrees .
Amazone dosent have the instant burst of aldehydes that Caleche has but the bergamot and oak moss make it a darker fragrance than its big sister Caleche .
The heavy, woody smell gradually dries down to reveal the flowers which takes the “green” down to a more subtle level – I like green in a scent but I don’t want the bitterness of , say , Chanel 19.
The middle of the scent is gorgeous because flowers begin to come through – for me rose and hyacinth dominate to begin with and dry down to a powdery softness at which point I get the sandalwood and a bit of leather but believe me when I say its not horse tack leather – this is the finest Spanish leather out of which gloves were made for Kings and Queens .
The dried down softness is just wonderful – and the staying power of the scent is very good – I don’t have to respray during the day which isa first for me .
Floral chypres are hard to pull off but Amazone manages it beautifully . The only other floral chypye I’ve ever liked was Miss Dior ( original one not the one they sell under the same name ) and that has become a bit screechy under new formulation so I’ve stopped buying it . But if you like Miss Dior Originale , you might also like this .
Its not a young woman’s fragrance ( unless you are one of those perfumistas who can get past the fact that some of the best scents are older than you are )
I train dressage horses and I read one review that mentioned this ; I can say that there is no correlation between this lovely scent and the scent of wet horses and wet leather waiting to be cleaned ! It might have been developed on a theme of the mythical equestriennes who reigned on the Black Sea , but it is emphatically not “horsey” so don’t let the name and the evolution of the scent put you off trying it .
If you want leather , then Kelly Caleche really does have leather in abundance but 24, and Amazone don’t give leather out – too much leather and things begin to go sour and smell of decay rather than scent .
I love this ; is it my favourite scent ever ?
Nope , there are just too many out there for me to not keep looking for the “one” , the signature perfume .
Every time I think I’ve found it , a few days later I am searching for something else .
Whilst typing this , my Amazone is in the middle phase of development and its as soft and cozy as a cashmere blanket – I feel wrapped in luxury .
But I wont be wearing it in the summer months as I think in a warm climate , it might get a bit overheated and turn sour .
So thats why I will bring on the Caleche !

One of my many favourites from Hermes. It’s one of my first pure loves for a galbanum scent. You both know this brand of galbanum… and you don’t. (sorry, I had to)
Many of the Hermes fragrances seem to be rather heavy on the horse saddle leather and oakmoss that surrounds you in a forest. This is no exception. However, is it an Amazonian forest? No. Does this make the fragrance any less interesting? Also no.
When you first apply it, the galbanum hits you in a way not dissimilar to Guerlain’s Chamade. That is to say: incredibly strongly. Then, with the help of oakmoss, this all softens out to a fresh, dewy quality and it becomes much more easier to smell. Hay, grass and various herbs and Grasse style florals. Powdery and soft.
I only have the current EDT, so the vintage is undoubtedly different, but this is still a beauty mossy, woody and green scent. Too French to be associated with the sweaty, humid and endlessly damps forests of the Amazon. Which is good, really. I prefer this style of Hermes. Classic and classy.
Perhaps there was a name of a horse or an obscure memory associated with the title? It’s all a mystery.

It’s been a long time that I have a tiny decant of hermes amazone(I don’t know whether it’s new formulation or vintage)but I wasn’t eager to try it because it’s notes aren’t intriguing for me but finally I came to it as I didn’t have any new sample to try
It opens completely green with a strong galbanum which makes me think of Chanel no19 and Issey miyake a scent.I was puzzled to see it’s categorized as a floral-aldehyde as it’s definitely a floral-green to my nose,at least in it’s initial phase.this mix of galbanum,narcissus and a hint of citruses isn’t what I can like and I felt that it belongs to old times,when floral-green-chypres were trendy but it develops to something nicer.it’s green quality doesn’t completely leave but it calms down and gives way to sweetness and fruity notes to bloom.it’s almost a floralfruity in it’s middle phase.black current is not my favorite fruity note but it’s lovely here and blends very well with powdery flowers providing a delicate sweetness and balancing sharp green edges.it doesn’t feel old anymore,actually it feels youthful and lively.in this stage I can’t put my finger on a specific floral note,there’s many of them,narcissus,iris,rose&…but they’re mixed well and are soft.it has nothing to do with chanel 19 anymore
As it dries down chypre notes start to showup but in a light and easy way.no leather,no patchouli,just moss and subtle woods.I find it classy and easy to wear.for me it’s year round wearable except very cold winters.all in all it’s not a fragrance that I’d love and rush to buy but if I received it as a gift,I would happily wear it(unlike many of others in this genre)
It’s not a heavy Scent on me but it’s quite longlasting and wafts around you in a way that it’s noticable but not offensive for others
❤❤❤

Amazone is a floral chypre which I believed was trying to recreate an atmosphere of an Amazon jungle in South America. Didn’t happen. Instead it has an air of Ivoire de Balmain. There are similar notes especially as it opens with something aldehydic a raspberry and a green galbanum. The galbanum note in this fragrance (and the one in Ivoire) are absolutely beautiful. They are the quintessential ingredient for the best chypres. I love galbanum a lot. There is also something in this opening; again with the galbanum and raspberry, which is also similar to the opening of Magie Noire. It starts off with citrus and then gets into the floral heart. I smelled mostly jasmine, lily of the valley and iris. The iris and iris root pairing should have given it a powder effect but it didn’t go there because this is a chypre. Perfumy, exotic, sweet but strong. There is a beautiful balance between the base notes and the heart notes namely the flowers and the sandalwood. That sandalwood is to die for. This smells very expensive and luxurious. It’s a lovely chypre with an aromatic touch but not heavy. The new formula does a fine job of honoring the original but they made it subtle and softer. If you like chypres and green scents like Aliage by Estee Lauder or Ivoire de Balmain you’re bound to like Amazone. I also like to think of this fragrance as a very appropriate signature scent for Xena Warrior Princess LOL I wish they had added something a lot stronger like patchouli and leather. This is a very nice floral chypre for the autumn and yet it also smells nice in spring time.
yaris – :
This is one of my favourite chypres. It is all about the smoky moss, the powdery galbanum and the huge melange of floral notes. This one differs from other mossy/woody offerings in that it has some really deep fruity notes and even a chocolatey vibe to it (I have come to the conclusion that my nose detects galbanum as something gourmand, odd but true). I have a huge bottle of this, mostly because it reminds me of vintage Miss Dior and it is so refreshing in the summer heat. Yes, it is a big perfume! It does dry down to a gentler scent. But I like big, great, green, fresh smells. The dry leathery/woody base is dreamy. I just love old fashioned/classic perfumery and this is a good example I think. Whilst modern chypres have that see-through feel because of the patchouli and I like that feel too, this is more me. Thumbs up Hermes on this beauty!
antarfskammes – :
A trickster at Nordstrom put a bottle of this in the men’s section, so I obtained a sample.
Whew! The opening is way too perfumey, way too floral, too feminine. But wait… it dries down to what could be a second or third cousin to Bel Ami. Soft and somewhat leathery. But there are no leather notes listed… it must be a clever olfactory trick of Hermes.
And, on me, a third phase is somewhat soapy – which I do not like.
We tried a spray on my wife’s arm – she doesn’t like it.
So… not for me. It’s a distinctive, quality scent, though, no doubt about that.
alex54812 – :
When I wear this perfume I finally feel my age 🙂 in the good sense it makes me feel 35…
Very suitable for the beginning of the spring. The freshness of life’s early spring…
I like it all from the green slightly bitter white floral opening with some gentle sweetness…until after 1 hour it settles into the prominent vetiver/cedar mossy scent.
My bottle is old version.
AnoleptFloalt – :
A classically made mossy floral…Amazone by Hermès is very well done, old-school classical woman’s fragrance, a feminine but with a strong, defined character. In my opinion almost unisex. It is a wonderful perfume, a classic from that era of power and class. When you wear this perfume you feel “in control”. It’s a lovely smell but with a strong, unique character.
It opens up with a host of floral notes but with an almost sharp galbanum, surrounded by mossy florals. A “classic” of that era if you are familiar with perfumes like Chanel – Cristalle, Jacomo – Silences and Eau de Patou. Mossy and floral character but very alive at the same time. I love it!
I think that this could be worn in most situations. Especially in formal ones. Very classy and confidant and in control. This is an example of the best perfumes of the past. A green, floral, mossy classic. If you like that old, green, classic floral type of perfumes, then this should be one to check out.

I saw at the Hermes Boutique in Hong Kong this evening that the Amazone bottle changed again to have a gold coloured cap and the name was also changed to Rose Amazone. I wonder if that is a new fragrance but could not find any information about it. It smelled very different from the vintage formulation and to me it smelled like a sharp, tart and fruity Kelly Caleche with very prominent notes of Cassia and Black Current
Ksu92 – :
One of my first ones! During my studies I used it a lot, do not remember where I got the precious bottle, AMAZONE is so great! But, it has changed, the new version is very different from the old one of 1975. The bottle is a little different too. I wish it was the same smell like then. Very elegant, sexy, classic, fresh and feminine.
It was my only perfume for 2 years, no money for anything else! Then the bottle was empty. Never found the same smell again, really depressing.
It was better than a Cartier or Van Cleefs and Arpels put together, it was better than a smell of Chanel or other classy ones. Just would suit every occasion, if party or not, and it stayed on me a long time.
ewgen_80 – :
I agree with @mellyhelly when she said its not a reformulation disaster. I purchased it som hours ago and I guarantee you that it is different than my bottle from early 1990’s(I wore it back then but I have good smell memory) . I smell som drops of the old one diluted, super light version of the old, but not as green,not as opaque. I’m happy with my new bottle as this transformation smells nice on its own, a cologne version of the pre/formulation one I can say(yes,exactly,I like this description), but does not have that dirty/earthy notes you get from most today’s colognes,you know the iris/lime/bitter after taste(or after smell in this case). Maybe fits people who like to layer perfumes,so this make a beautiful base, or topcoat for them. I think of layering it with my Chanel19 just to bring back som of the lost dens, or another clean/green noted one.

I used to love Amazone when I was a teenager and only owned a miniature bottle. I used my little money to buy a few of those beautiful miniatures that where available for purchasing in perfume stores for very little price, even if they should have been given for free, because they were samples.
It was a citrusy scent in the opening and much more floral after that initial burst, but it quickly settled to a drier and leathery scent on my young skin.
I would have said it was a chypre rather than a straight floral.
I was surely biased by the ad, because Amazone gave me that sense of run-free out of this madly organised world. It was perfume of rebellion for me, but classy all the way, while you run away on a horse, LOL!
Recently I could smell it again in an Hermes corner at duty-free, so that I was like passing by and didn’t need to dress fine to go into a shop, as if I had luxury clothes! LOL again.
Amazone smells different, a little more airy and light-handed, no big oomph but somehow Hermes managed to keep that vibe alive, so here reformulation is not a disaster.
stas-anufriev – :
I wanted a more sophisticated fresh green perfume and this was not it. Definitely sophisticated, but in a dried floral arrangement under glass kind of way. It smells like the perfume a powerful matriarch would wear, staid and intimidating. Feminine but not soft.
It’s a good scent but feels uncomfortable to wear.

Really nice is vintage version of EDT! It is pure concentrate of freshness and wildness. I love it. Try Amazone one day.
jorgxx – :
Perfect autumn scent for me together with Dioressence (I know how different and unique they both are, but I can link them as they share a character). One of best brown-green dry ending scents. Starts green and strong with cassia and neroli over the citrus mandarin bergamot, settling on violet leaf, ladbanum and wonderful brazilian rosewood which unlays the entrance of the middle notes. Among the flower notes jasmine, narcissus and hyacinth stand up and are a bit sweetened and powdered by the iris,rose and orris, while bittered with the fruity notes. The base notes are deliciously balanced and blended, creating leathery illusions, how bright it seems to introduce ylang, neroli and cinnamon there.
I like the strong while polite character Amazone exhibits. Excellent. Unforgettable scent.
sergeylebedew – :
The name Amazone reflected my self image while in college; natural, spontaneous and never oppressive. 30 years later, it is still my gold standard for bringing the sense of warm sunshine on your skin wherever you go. I wish I knew more about the frangrance thing – it’s undoubtedly got floral notes but something else that just enhances the smell of my own skin. Wearing it builds confidence; others notice but are never offended.
aleksandr311101979 – :
THE VINTAGE AMAZONE WAS A POWERFUL PREFUME A BIT SWEET TO MY NOSE BUT PERSISTENT AND GORGEUS, WITH A GREAT CHARACHTER A QUALITY I APPRECIATE VERY MUCH. I CAN’T SAY IF IT IS SO GOOD EVEN THE VERSION AVAILABLE TODAY.
invonipat – :
So puzzled by most of these reviews! My Amazone is light, green, floral and very, very classic french! For me, classic french fragrance has an unidentifiable richness; whether you are talking about a chypre, oriental or white floral, it’s always there. A depth and intricacy that supports the notes. This has a sharp but pleasant tangy herbal quality that remains through the dry-down. I get absolutely no leather, but instead a lot of narcissus and vetiver, which I happen to love. This has the signature of the late sixties, early seventies. Natural, green and herbal were very popular at the time. A comparable in today’s market is definitely Peace, Love and Juicy Couture. This is no sweet, sugary fruit concoction, so Britney lovers would probably shy away. Amazone is distinctive and fresh, so if you define perfumes from different decades as “old lady” or “not old lady” (very shallow, by the way), you won’t understand this lovely fragrance. It’s a timeless thing. . .
robertazz76 – :
I have many different Hermes perfumes and bought this one without having tried it before, just because I love my other ones. It is just perfect for everyday wear, not too loud and very soft. I got both perfume and edp and I am very happy with both. I got the vintage ones, and I suppose that they have altered this now as they do to many of the older fragrances, which I think is a pity!!
ITDalee – :
As a horse rider I thought that Amazone could be the perfect ”partner” to my activities.First of all,I was expecting a heavier scent in terms of Eau d’Hermes.Leather,saddles,dark wood..On the contrary,Amazone is a light,dry,green scent,a little bitter,which reminds me of vegetables.It doesn’t have the intensity I want,it lacks of something,too plain,like a cologne on my skin.I didn’t feel the aldehydic opening,I doubt if they used aldehydes in it.It’s just uninspiring!Lasting power is average on me,sillage is close to skin.
evosiussy – :
I used to wear this when I lived in Paris in the 70’s so it was more with nostalgia than any longing for the fragrance, that I acquired a sample of EDP. On first spray I did not recognize the smell, there was no indication of visiting an ‘old friend’. Anyway -first sniff gives freshness (aldehyde) and something else – woody but not balsamic – floral but not sickly -very different – the ingredients work together not against each other but I get this overall feeling this is really really old fashioned -classic but old – but then I sniff again and there’s the leather again to bring it back to something different. It feels fresh and soapy but mossy at the same time -summer walk in a wood -I have horses but certainly don’t smell them here! Then the dry down -oh big disappointment -after two hours this fragrance reminds me of drugstore talcum powder. I’m glad i tried this again in sample size before buying a bottle out of nostalgia – it will go into my collection to be sniffed on occasions but think i will spend my pennies elsewhere.
EDIT Wore this on a very cold snowy evening sat in front of a log fire -divine – the smokiness of the moss oak blended with the log fire and brought out fantastic grown up floral/chypres not smelled before – perhaps an evening at home on a winters night with a tot of spiced rum fragrance 😉
dimych – :
Very special scent. I cannot identify most of the notes in it, just find it very particular and different from most other scents in a good way. It smells to me as a sort although not exatly incense. It is not really incense but a scent of that type. I can identify the galbanum,but not much more. Very unique, though, this one is special although I would not say it is particularly pleasant or one of the perfumes I like best. Also, the staying power I do not find that good.

This fragrance is PURE PERSONALITY !!!!! lots of wood I smell cedar and jasmine at the same time.
FRESH, AGELESS, ADVENTUROUS. It surprises me from the moment I spray it till it disappears.
It makes me feel FREE ! Last about 3 to 5 hrs total until it becomes pure amber at the very end. Although I’ve been using this fragrance since iam 8 years old, now Iam 39 now and I got to say that the vintage version as well as AMAZONE LIGHT are fresher and more floral and even when iam still a big fan of AMAZONE I do miss the other versions. I don’t smell any leather in it, the masculine side of this fragrance it’s to my nose vetiver and oakmoss.

So i recieved a VINTAGE 30ml bottle of pure parfum of “Amazone” today.
I must say i love it! To my nose there is a strong black currant note which i usually don´t like in perfumes BUT here it is presented in a such nice combination surronded by all other notes that i simply enjoy it! After a while upon application i smelled a powdery note and was scared that it would turn into something powdery after all, but it didn´t luckily. It lasts and lasts and lasts. Sometimes i can smell some notes similar to vintage “Magie noire”, but only similar. Is it vetyver? I don´t know yet, but what associates in my mind with this scent is the scent of leather but not dry leather. It smells like a fruity leather to me. Yes, there are green notes, but there are not too much of them, there is a little bit of everything in this bottle. A great scent for autumn, i guess also for winter time, but today i also enjoy it during not so hot summer time. I guess the EDT version might smell a bit different and more simple, but i have no clue yet, since i am not familiar to Hermes fragrances at all by far and this is my first positive experience with them.

Well, I finally managed to acquire a bottle of Hermès AMAZONE, after having tested only the light version. I am a bit confused by cinsot’s remarks about my earlier review, as I do not see myself stating anywhere that 24 FAUBOURG and AMAZONE smell the same. What I said was that they are “clearly cousins”, by which I mean: exhibiting the same general quality of richness, voluptuousness, complexity, etc. So, I would say, in response to cinsot: “What an intriguing inference pattern your mind manifests!” (-:
Now for my review of AMAZONE, at last. This is indeed a cousin of 24 FAUBOURG, meaning: lush, thick, rich, complex, enfin, un vrai parfum! But maybe such a remark is redundant, since these qualities, I have learned through induction, come naturally to everything produced by the house of Hermès!
The biggest difference I note between what I have identified as cousins (and let us remember that cousins can be very distinct indeed, for example, some of Barack Obama’s cousins are totally black Africans, while others are pasty white Americans…) is the substantial patchouli presence in 24 FAUBOURG, which is nowhere to be sniffed in AMAZONE. AMAZONE also has a significant and persistent aldehydic component, without however reaching the stratum of CALECHE.
The floral notes in AMAZONE work together harmonically, so I would not agree that this is anything close to a narcissus soliflore. (Nor, on the other hand, do I think of 24 FAUBOURG as a gardenia perfume!) To me, AMAZONE is a greenish-brown symphony of swirling scents. Love it!
cergeyson – :
My sample is of AMAZONE LIGHT, eau de fraicheur, which I gather means a lower concentration than even edt? In any case, I am somewhat confused, as this is a rich, complex composition clearly cousin to 24 Faubourg, so why would one want it to fade away fast? Doesn’t make sense to me.
If one is looking for something light and airy, clearly a perfume with dozens of notes (yes, 24!)–including a substantial base, in this case with lots of galbanum–is not in order.
I like AMAZONE LIGHT eau de fraicheur, but given the choice I’d much rather own 24 Faubourg, which offers the same general feeling but much bigger sillage and better longevity.

(Eau de Fraiche review)
I like this fragrance, it is pleasant, unobtrusive and softly woodsy. While it’s probably not a scent I’ll fall in love with, it is one I appreciate.
When a fragrance has this many notes in it, there is a danger of tipping over and falling into the stinker pot. This one doesn’t do that, but it does dabble a toe over the side in gest.
It wears like wet hay to me, mixed with soft mosses and woody notes. What I like most about it is the floral accords, which are sligthly sharp and tangy.
in all, a nice fragrance. I think my issue with it is that it’s not my genre, and nothing more.

A womans right to change her mind! I have went back and retried this scent. This is actually a very nice scent, pine, I get lots of pine! Only the bold and beautiful will ware such a scent like this.

A very good friend of mine wears this fragrance. On her it just smells divine! To make the picture perfect – yes, she is also an excellent horse back rider (dressage) and also very beautiful!
On me, unfortunately the fragrance does not develop very nicely. Too strong and powerful (must be the galbanum?).
This truly is a scent for a mature, but very feminine woman who knows exactly what she wants and how to get it!

First up there’s a whoosh of crushed green leaves, a very, very woody green. As it settles the greeness gives way to a more gentle floral bouquet, zesty to begin with mellowing to a sweeter fruitier twist with herby undertones. I simply love the begamot/sandalwood/cedar/moss base mix – quite masculine. Unique.
I do get a whiff of leather & can understand myhorses comment…hot sweet horse & hay, leather & riding through leafy green forests on a may afternoon is a nice way to conjure up this perfume.
