A bitter green smell of orange blossom; herbaceous and mossy with surprisingly calming effect on you from lavender and rosemary along with such a delicious warmness from honeysuckle. I’m hardly ever disappointed even if the scent has gone with the wind within an hour after its application, as it never fails to put a smile on my face anyway.
I find even more joy in layering it with The Herbalist’s bitter orange body oil which gives me Happy Feet, Happy Face and long lasting serenity. Pure Joy of Nature! Thumb up from me, indeed.

A very mature old school skin scent. I definitely get a lot of musky vibe from this even though musk is not even mentioned as one of the notes here on fragrantica. Is it pleasant? Yes! Will I pay to buy a full bottle? No! Further, it doesn’t project on my skin and the longevity is not that good either. I think it wouldn’t be pleasant to smell if it was stronger than this.
Scent: 7.5/10
Longevity: 5/10
Projection: 4/10

An aromatic bitter citrus fragrance. I get a very fresh opening blast of lemon, bergamot and minth, enhanced then by basil and cedar.
As for me, I don’t smell at all flower notes.
I find it rather men’s fragrance, it is more spicy than Concentré d’Orange verte, for exemple.

My dad used to wear this, and as a kid I actually preferred smelling this over my mum’s White Linen (which always gives me a very nasty headache). This one’s really light yet crisp and ‘clean-smelling.’ It’s one of the few guy colognes I guess that I really do not mind.

Are they making this again? I used to love it; a dream to put on after a shower in the summer. Sort of like Corona beer which people look down their noses at even though you want beer to be very very watery in the heat in Mexico, so help me. You could put a ton of this cologne on and not reek; a thrill, and the alcohol evaporating of course cools you down.

I like this better than Eau D’Orange Verte. It’s more citrusy and bitter… All I smell mainly is the bergamot with some green notes. Although it fades pretty quick, it last a little longer than D’Orange Verte.

This fragrance is very suitable for hot days, given its huge and strong citrus tone, a small flaw in my case is that longevity is very short (just over half an hour) if this colony could maintain longevity a couple of hours would be very nice, this explosion of citrus leaves and rustic are remarkable; Fath Green Water and Eau de Sauvage by Dior are very similar, albeit quite dated this colony shows its charm …
Elegant and timeless, clear and joyful island of magical hours, whispering shell
sweet wrecks.

Bitter and citrusy, at first it’s almost pure lemon peel. I then start smelling lavender and other aromatic green herbs, which are joined by light floral touches and a light chypre base. If there’s any fruit in the mix, I don’t smell it.
This is a conservative, traditional cologne with the limited sillage and longevity one would expect from an EdC. There’s not too much to say except that it’s a pleasant cologne that could be splashed on and more or less forgotten.

I am currently wearing Hermes EAU DE COLOGNE, not D’ORANGE VERTE, and my sample is new and carded, so I think that this is a distinct fragrance, contrary to the comments of other reviewers.
Hermes EAU DE COLOGNE is an invigorating and refreshing aromatic chypre to my nose. Upon initial application, I was reminded instantly of Clarins EAU DYNAMISANTE, the olfactory equivalent of a triple expresso with which I used to douse myself after every bath…
EAU DE COLOGNE is indeed rather weak, but in some ways that may be nice, since it doesn’t hang around long enough to interfere with whatever perfume one may have been planning for the night. Still, this is a beautiful combination of most appealing notes: citrus, mint, basil, followed by a bouquet of gentle florals, all grounded in a lovely woody chypre base. If it were available, I would gladly wear this juice in edp concentration, as it is a worthy composition with full-fledged perfume potential.

Exactly, it’s eau d’orange verte!

I’m sure this has been replaced with the newly named: Hermes. Eau D`Orange Verte
