Description

With the Colognes collection, Hermès expands a territory of olfactive
expression inaugurated in 1979 with its first Cologne, later baptized Eau
d’orange verte, characterized by its refinement and authenticity. Figurative and
generous expressions of instant pleasure, the Hermès Colognes offer a series of
material-based olfactive vignettes. Through the gaze of Jean-Claude Ellena,
Hermès affirms its own interpretation of the Cologne style, between artistic
sensitivity and traditional craftsmanship.

Eau de pamplemousse rose: for this Cologne, Jean-Claude Ellena has combined
a classical approach, highlighting the liveliness and freshness of citrus, with
a modern sense of composition. The hesperidian theme, conveyed here by
the grapefruit, takes on new life when infused with the rose. A fine balance
of materials is struck, with the citrus setting the tone in harmony with the
radiant gossamer of the flower. Eau de Pamplemousse Rose was launched in 2009.

    I love this one although I only wear it inside my house since it literally has no projection and only lasts for a maximum of 2 hours; other than it I love it.

    This is a simple, fresh-citrusy scent with a tiny rose for warm weather, daytime, with low moderate longevity of about 3.5 hours and soft sillage. It opens with very fresh citruses and then comes a light and fresh rose. Overall the vibe is similar to Les Parfums de Rosine Rosissimo which smells much better, is more natural and has much stronger performance. If you like Pamplemousse Rose, try the Rosine Rosissimo because it’s much better in everything.

    Grapefruit, rose. Dries down to lemon hard candy.

    Like getting a rare smile out of a famously grumpy friend: this shows the sweeter side of an often acerbic character. Lovely, photo-realistic juicy grapefruit which at first gives you a sharp enough smack in the nose to really wake you up and freshen up your ideas. This beautiful opening does fade, but it doesn’t morph into some whole other thing – the mood is consistent throughout. It tends towards the prettier rather than the butch-er side of citrus (Miller Harris Le Pamplemousse, for instance, is a much rougher and more persistent beast than this, but it does that by having a huge bang of oakmoss to it, which the Hermes doesn’t) – but it’s still a true unisex. The only thing you need to enjoy this one is a nose and a sense of fun.
    I only tried the EDC so wasn’t surprised that it died away almost completely in 2-3h, but it is really lovely. Personally I didn’t even twig that the more fragrant, floral element in this was rose – which for me is a plus – it’s blended well and doesn’t steal the show from the main ingredient. Will definitely seek out the concentree version instead if buying any more, but on the aesthetic side at least, this is a winner. Love the way it smells, just wished it smelled *more* like that for longer!

    Jean-Claude Ellena described it as “A bitter-sweet cologne: freedom in tradition.” But for me it’s citrus-sweet. The freshness of the citrus fruit is lively and tasty. The freshness make it perfect for a stroll down a pier on a nice day (no hotter than 23 degrees) in white tshirt and stone wash jeans. The zesty falvour of grapefruit takes on a whole new level. But I guess all good things must come to an end and some far too sooner than others!
    Sillage – 5/10
    Longevity – 4/10
    Scent – 7/10
    I literally have to take this bottle out with me when rocking this theme for reasons that are two fold 1. The scent does not last as long as I would like. 2. The top notes are far too intoxicating to leg go so the top is well worth it.

    There’s going to be a new Hermès fragrance being launched from the cologne series that’s more masculine, representing the Persian Black Lemon; silicilian lemon, black Ceylon tea and guaiac wood. Smells AMAZING and I have it on. This post is for those people that say, “how can you vote when it’s not out yet”.

    Though the scent itself is ok, it is so weak and has such little staying power, I cannot recommend this, and certainly not at the going price.

  8. :

    5 out of 5

    It’s a unisex scent that is close to skin. It’s a juicy orange when I first spray it, then it becomes more aromatic when it’s on the skin. It has that similar vibe that other Hermes perfumes have.

    One of the best in this Hermes line. Very subtle, gone in 15 min. and for this reason it is very expensive. Summer fragrance.

    The bugspray drydown of Hermes Colognes esp the citrus scent needs this specific ingredient, and the smoky fumes from traffic at the rooftop in 24paris france in su le toit isnt really meant to be there. They add Petroleum to all their citrus scents to make it last thats why it smells like bug spray and traffic fumes.

  11. :

    I see these little bottles everywhere. You’d think they were designer. The juice inside is a cold grapefruit with a bugspray dry down.

    I’m sorry, but this scent is too weak and soft that it doesn’t worth a try. The scent is very good (at the beginning), then it fades away to quickly that you don’t even have the time to feel another notes. This was a blind buy for me, and I’m very dissapointed.

    Eau de Pamplemousse Rose! Such a gorgeous name! And I love the perfume, and also the fabulous colour. It’s divine. The perfume’s lovely. Grapefruit. Beautiful. It’s a truly delicious grapefruit. Very natural, juicy and fresh. Mmmm. It stays for an hour, then becomes slightly more orange, which is still nice, in a milder, sweeter way, and then slowly, I start to detect a lovely lovely rose, which gradually gets stronger, over about another hour. It stays like that for a while, then changes to smelling greener and a bit spicy. It’s really beautiful. Altogether the lovely perfume lasts for about 4 hours, which I don’t mind at all, because I love re-spraying, and going through it’s lovely stages again, and again.
    I love it. It’s beautiful.

    Started off with one of the best grapefruit openings of any fragrance I’ve ever tried. Sadly it lasted less than a minute. It then turned into something I can barely describe. Powdery, grass, flat and medicinal? If it had only stayed like the first minute.

    Like the last Hermes, scent gone in 10 min. Do people actually buy this stuff?

  17. :

    Concentre: Likeable but a bit old-fashioned, and produced in the sort of watercolor-fashion way the “Garden”s have been but with slightly better longevity.

    This Review is for the Concentré Version:
    One downside of some members of Hermès Les Colognes is a very short duration on the skin. As the aromas are refreshing, delicate and rich in its nuances their scents are just limited to a maximum of 2 hours, which today is something that few expect and even desire, thus more concentrated versions are required even for refreshing ideas and the challenge is to maintain the coherence of the original version and to make it last on the skin.
    For Eau de Pamplemousse Rose, one of the first of the new members, Jean Claude Ellena chose an interesting way to make a Concentré version, exploring in the base a contrast that is present in some synthetic materials used to create a Pamplemousse accord. Ellena emphasizes the vetiver root nuances that can be extracted from a synthetic construction around a Grapefruit idea and so almost makes Concentré version a kind of Eau de Vetiver Racine, suggesting aspects of root and earth of this aromatic grass.
    Focus of Pamplemousse works between the freshness of a little bitter grapefruit and a musky base with nuances of grass and woods. Depending on your expectations or aroma image of a rose it can be challenging to find it here, as its most green and dewy aspect is explored over the more fruity, honey and silky flower side. The rose for me here plays the role of a connector between the slightly bitter freshness of output and woody and musky base, keeping the theme in a modern citrus cologne.
    It is good to note that despite being a perfume called Concentré, this version still retains the more minimalist aura that Hermès often use in their perfumes, so that the initial goal is reached, maintaining the delicacy and consistency of the idea with a better duration and just a little bit more of intensity. This makes it an ideal Cologne for use in daily life or for very high temperatures where it is expected a freshness that can last more than 2 hours.

    I believe ther is also a concentree version of this which is in a frosted glass flacon. Why is it not listed here ?

    scent : 9/10

    80% day/ 20% night fragrance
    nice grass and green scent
    reminds me of Un Jardin Sur Le Toit but this one is more citrusy

    Has that Hermes lemon quality to it, mixed with a light, sweet, grapefruit. It’s slightly acidic, but also sweet, like putting the right amount of sugar on a grapefruit. Like a lot of unisex scents, this one get very close to bordering on masculine but it’s the perfect balance of sweet/sour grapefruit that bring it back.

  22. :

    This is very good.
    A light summer fragrance where citrus is mixed with rose very nicely. This is like a breath of fresh air to me.
    A beautiful green bottle as well! Lovely thing, only a little too weak for the price, an expensive body spray

  23. :

    This fragrance is absolutely delightful for summer. The opening is a burst of very realistic grapefruit. Delicious, bittersweet, fresh, and juicy. Dries down quickly to more of a bitter orange peel than juice of the grapefruit. The pretty rose note is very light and adds a nice sweet floral touch but overall this is more of a citrus fragrance. Not strong but actually surprisingly lasts quite well despite not containing any traditional base notes and for being a citrus based cologne. Pamplemousse Rose is unisex and fantastic for hot weather. I took it with me to Puerto Rico, where as you can imagine the weather is always sweltering and humid. Spraying this cologne had me refreshed during my vacation. Highly recommend trying it.

    I’m reviewing the EDT (Concentre), which comes in the frosted glass bottle.
    I don’t have a lot to say about this that hasn’t been covered by others. Very realistic grapefruit smell on the initial spray, like peeling a fresh piece of citrus. This gives way, over time, to a lovely rose note. I’m not normally a big fan of the heavy, dark rose as it is traditionally found in a lot of fragrances (eg. TF Noir de Noir); This is light, and very much smells like a fresh cut rose. It’s a very cheerful, bright scent.
    Projection is pretty restrained, but the EDT lasts longer than the EDC by about double for me. Given that it is almost exclusively citrus and florals, I don’t mind this being the sort of scent that exists on the fringe of my senses. I tend more towards deep heavy woods, but this is a good scent for summer or a post-workout shower, I’d definitely prefer this over the typical sport scent.
    If you buy it online, it can be found at pretty reasonable prices.
    Scent: 9/10
    Sillage: 6/10
    Longevity: 6/10
    Price: 7/10
    Overall: 7.5/10

    This perfume has a lot of airy elegance to it.
    Grapefruit is dominant, rose is very very subtile. A likable scent cause its so airy, light and delicate. almost a shy perfume 😉
    BUT and this is a big BUT, it doesnt last very long, therefor the price is to high even keeping in mind, its a Hermes perfume.
    Perfume: 8/10
    Price: too high

    I love the first blast of grapefruit when you first try this on. Grapefruit is my favourite citrus after lime. For me it’s a bright, pleasant, uncomplicated scent. Reminds me of eating breakfast before work on a sunny, summer, early morning. Unfortunately it only lasts about as long as it takes to eat breakfast, not even that long, and then it’s gone. So short-lived, it’s untrue. I wouldn’t buy it again, for that reason, but apparently there is a concentré version, which I probably will try.
    Later edit June 2015: have to use so much of this to even get it to last half an hour on me, decided to give it away to someone who I know loves very subtle citrusy scents.

    A citrusy rose sounded delightful in retrospect, especially to this one particular lady that tends to suffer through Australian Summers craving such things. Hermes Eau De Pamplemousse Rose popped up in my radar early this year and I headed straight down to my local department store in the sweltering heat to feel the relief of a crisp, green rose hitting my skin.
    The relief was unfortunately very short-lived as this fragrance is very much a cologne in both strength and longevity. It has taken me six months to finally sit down and write a review for Eau De Pamplemousse Rose.
    I’ll begin my saying that grapefruit doesn’t usually favour my skin chemistry. For some reason this fresh citrus note turns very sweaty on me, and nothing I do can detract from the bad body odour vibe I get from this accord. Unfortunately the most dominant note in Eau De Pamplemousse Rose is grapefruit rather than the rose as I had hoped.
    I have had to spray this fragrance on fabric to fully enjoy it, and I have found it crisp, green and pleasant but also a tad boring. Hermes has such expensive price tags that you can’t help but expect the world from each and every one of their fragrances.
    Its bright, citrusy nature is a mood-booster in itself, and in mild Summer weather I believe Eau De Pamplemousse Rose could really shine. Unfortunately anything with grapefruit in the scent pyramid can never be worn by me, but that’s not to say that this fragrance can’t work for you. I hear that Hermes released a more concentrated version of this fragrance in the form of an EDT, so if better longevity is what you’re seeking I’d suggest tracking down a bottle of Eau De Pamplemousse Rose in the EDT rather than the cologne.

    I like its top notes, I like its base notes, I only have a problem with its middle notes. It seems to me that I can smell some grass even if it is not listed!
    However, I must admit that longevity is perfect for a cologne. Also, it is totally unisex fragrance. An explosion of pleasant citruses.

  30. :

    3 out of 5

    Very fresh and zesty straight out of the bottle. Grapefruit peels and other bright citrus are tossed in the spring sun with just a suggestion of rose in the background. I also sense a bit of anise, but perhaps that is the magic of the artist, creating a third accord entirely out of the two headliners.
    Yes, it is fleeting, but so is life. It is an EdC, so it is what it is. And it is lovely.
    Perfect for spring and summer, men and women, boys and girls, the office or a beautiful day in the sun. Reserved yet inspiring and exhilirating like a finely manicured and freshly bloomed garden. Spray it on your clothing for extended longevity.
    Thumbs up.

    I just bought a tiny travel sized spray of this EDC today and I’m not surprised that it smells amazing (its Jean-Claude Ellena of course!) Can’t be better for a lovely but still chill-in-the-wind spring. A beautiful balance between energetic and enthusiastic citrus notes and those soft, round roses. I can smell more of the citrus peel instead of the actual fruit, which is actually better since I prefer bitter fruity or leafy notes like fig leaves and grapefruit peels. However as others have said, this Cologne is very short-lived, about 30min on my wrist.

  32. :

    Hi Everyone,
    just thought that I would inform the people who are so disappointed in the weakness of this Edc, that Pamplemousse Rose DOES come in an EDT version, it is called CONCENTRE de PAMPLEMOUSSE ROSE.
    Fragrantica should add it into the data base.

  33. :

    3 out of 5

    I received a sample of Eau de Pamplemousse Rose along with my most recent purchase of Un Jardin Après La Mousson and I was instantly reminded of one of my Dad’s perfumes which I really loved, so I immediately took a liking to this.
    Like many other Hermès perfumes, Eau de Pamplemousse Rose is a modest, unassuming and earthy scent. To be honest, it reminds me of the Un Jardin collection a lot. It’s like watercolour painting in a bottle: soft, airy and almost…glacial in the way that it’s such a cool air to it. Opening is rather harsh and bitter with loud citrusy notes but it quickly changes into something really, really fresh and cooling. Can’t really smell the roses though, unless you sniff hard enough. Anyway, if you want to keep smelling this you’d better spray it near your neck pulse points or even on your hair.
    Longevity and sillage, as mentioned copiously before by others here, are rather awful but I kinda like how it’s such a soft and, dare I say, shy scent. It’s not for everyone–if you like bold, flashy perfumes you’d fare much better with those from Chanel or YSL. I personally like it, but for the price I’d probably think twice or thrice before splurging on a bottle of this. Still, a very likeable perfume and if you’re into citrus/Un Jardin series you’d probably find this as lovely as I do. Pity that they don’t make this stronger because if they do, I believe there’d be a lot more people who’d willingly get this one.
    Rating: 8.5/10
    EDIT:
    Got myself the Concentré (EDT) version of this and it doesn’t disappoint! Stronger grapefruit smell with very delectable drydown. If you like this but can’t stand the strength of the EDC, do yourself a favour and try the EDT version. You won’t regret it.

    This is a nice citrus fragrance. The rose note is in there but it’s hiding more a less. “Grapefruit” by Jo Malone isn’t as good as this one. That one is a unisex perfume and it’s Grapefruit scent is more pungent and sort of synthetic. This isn’t very strong and it just sits close to the skin. I guess the reason being that it’s a EDC. Why couldn’t they have made it a EDT?

  35. :

    4 out of 5

    Lasts about as long as a fart in a hurricane.Spill grapefruit juice on your clothes
    It will do the same thing as this and last much longer.
    Someone may even notice it.
    Why do most hermes just smell like grapefruit or cut grass?
    I do not like to be perceived as giving a negative review but i expect more than a single note for $125.oo
    Was hoping for the rose,where are the roses?
    Longevity to price ratio puts this off my list alone.
    Even my hound could not find the rose!

    Fabulous! Opens with a sharp burst of grapefruit, then settles into a soft rosy citrus, reminiscent of palmarosa with a slight musky note at the end. Like cutting into a grapefruit on a summer morning with the scent of a rosebush drifting in through a window.

  37. :

    3 out of 5

    One of my favorites… light, citrusy, with a fresh sweetness that doesn’t overpower.

  38. :

    5 out of 5

    Eau de pamplemousse rose starts with a great, realistic grapefruit opening that lasts for all of 10 minutes. At this stage it’s juicy and bitter, but not too extravagant; lovely! After that, woody notes start to dominate on my skin, as they usually do for me. They’re not listed here, but I don’t smell much else at this point. If I try really hard, I can imagine I smell some rose in there, but I’m not sure. It’s not a bad scent by any means; a pleasant, subtle, woody type of fragrance with some citrus lingering in the background. This phase doesn’t last very long either, and then it’s gone.
    I was hoping for something with a bit more kick and a lot more grapefruit, so this isn’t the one for me. I’ll retry it later, maybe it works better on a very hot day, or when I’m experienced enough to start craving very subtle perfumes.

    By far the most interesting grapefruit peel fragrance…fresh, tarty, sweaty and masculine. Classic JC Ellena fragrance.

  40. :

    4 out of 5

    Eau de Pomplemousse Rose is the first Hermès fragrance I tried (my boyfriend’s mother used to own a bottle) and I remember being quite unimpressed. I thought it was a relatively nice citrussy cologne with a nice grapefruit opening and terrible staying power. Ellena’s fragrances, I decided too quickly, do not match my style.
    Nowadays, with a taste for slightly more subtle perfumes and two Hermès/Ellena bottles in my collection, I know I should revisit Eau de Pamplemousse. So I did.
    The opening is the most true to life, breathtakingly sparkling burst of grapefruit. It is a perfect rendition of the moment when you cut a pink grapefruit in half and inhale the scent of the sharp bittersweet juice and the bitter oil of the peel. Truly beautiful.
    Then the fragrance dries down and you are left with the bitterness of the grapefruit peel, supported by salty vetiver and woods (iso-E Super?). This blend is joined by some rose but doesn’t develop much beyond this point. I’m reminded somewhat of Cartiers Déclaration d’un Soir. I haven’t smelled original Déclaration, but if it’s in any way similar to its flanker, I suppose my association makes sense.
    Longevity is indeed an issue here but I do love the fragrance. The fresh bitterness is just a perfect pick-me-up, but despite its relative simplicity (maybe minimalism would be a better word) it is much more interesting and longer lasting even than that other great grapefruit themed fragrance: Guerlains Pamplelune.
    Definitely recommended for all grapefruit lovers out there!

    I’m confused. The bottle I have is opaque green and says Concentree. Is this a different fragrance ?
    Why isn’t the concentree listed on here ???

  42. :

    4 out of 5

    I was trying some fragrances at Hermes store and this caught my attention. Nice SA gave me a generous sample and I have been wearing it for couple of days.
    Now, this is mostly citrus, with no much rose. You get a hint but no more. Its very unisex, citrusy and zesty scent. Its nice but not mindblowing. What’s also not mindblowing is the lasting power-after barely 5 min it turns into skin scent and stays that way-I got maybe 2 hours out of it, if that. And no one could smell it on me. Worse than power of bodyspray. I thought it was me but I since spoke to several women who had the same experience. And for the price, it should last a LOT longer. This is not something I would buy even thought the scent itself is nice enough-if they increased lasting power, then we will have something. But I used my my whole sample in one day because I had to spray it all the time just to smell it.
    No thank you

  43. :

    First you get a huge spray of grapefruit juice – zesty and fresh.
    When it dries down, the bubbly rose emerges, and the combination is sheer bliss.
    A great summer fragrance (I think it’ll give a fair fight to my Mandarine Basilic by Guerlain), perfumy but light enough for hot days.
    This is a happy, happy fragrance, IMO mainly made for daytime use.
    Longevity is quite good for a citric scent and sillage is good as well.

  44. :

    5 out of 5

    I much prefer the concentree.

  45. :

    4 out of 5

    This is so soft, so light that once sprayed you might forget you are wearing it!
    Grapefruit and rose blend so well in it’s simple yet perfect combination. Jean-Claude Ellena loves citrus notes… And I have to say that few other perfumers know how to make them shine like he does!
    OK, it may be a skin scent, but it’s wonderful. Grapefruit in general tends to be bitter, however in here, it’s sweet! Not sugary sweet, but rather naturally sweet… It’s confusing but I think that the addition of the rose broke down the bitterness of the grapefruit.
    Sure it does not stay long, but it’s not that weak… You get a nice 3 hours from it and maybe more! 7.5/10

  46. :

    3 out of 5

    There’s pepper in there I tell ya. It’s somewhere between the top notes of the grapefruit/citrus and the drydown of rose (real rose, not dark rose not sweet rose, just ROSE rose). It’s a perfect summer scent, i feel so fresh and light when I wear it. I don’t get masculine at all like some other reviewers mention. But I wear a lot of men’s colognes…so maybe my idea of masculine is a lot stronger. I would find it weird if I smelled it on my husband. But if you love grapefruit and rose, even if you are a guy, this is one of the finest I have found.

  47. :

    Eau de Pamplemousse Rose – on my nose this was a good interpretation, light floral, rose scent not the dirty smell or decaying rose interpretation and can be worn by a man

  48. :

    4 out of 5

    Grapefruit rarely works well on me but, tempered with the sweet rose this cuts just the right balance. It’s both uplifting and comforting.
    Weak with soft silage, EdPR has a brief journey, but I enjoy it for what it is. If the bottle weren’t so heavy I’d carry it in my bag for periodic top ups. As it is, I rarely wear it to work as I know within a couple of hours I’ll need to refresh. However, it is a very beautiful unisex fragrance and one I really should showcase more regularly.

  49. :

    3 out of 5

    Unisex, for me. I layer it with Tea Rose when I want a prettier, more floral scent.
    I can wear this year round but it’s especially nice in the summer.
    Surely citrus & rose are not the only notes? I get something earthy & warm that reminds me of a tack room on a summer day. Maybe leather or some type of grass? Which is why I immediately had to buy it instead of the Hermes Voyage I had in hand to buy when the sales person handed me a sample strip. I smelled it and stated, “Smells like horse, but in a good way.” I know, bizarre. But it’s not a bad thing. Fellow equestrians and horse lovers will know what I speak of when they smell this. I feel like I can wear this out after leaving the barn and not smelling like a barn.
    I really wish Hermes would list the notes in their scents.

  50. :

    5 out of 5

    Such a great fresh grapefruit smell for the first hour or so. Then becomes a nice clean, soft rose musk. I want to keep spraying this to continue that initial smell! Unisex for sure, both my husband and I like. It lasts no more than 2 hours on him, perhaps a bit longer on me. Still want a bigger size of this than my little sample. Will try the concentre in hopes it will last longer.

  51. :

    I blind bought this. When I first tried it in the height of summer, perhaps I expected too much, and I was a little disappointed. The opening was really wonderful and refreshing and the notes worked so well together, and I liked it very much but it didn’t seem to last at all on my skin, and seemed gone in a very short time.
    I decided that it was perhaps one of those fragrances which might be wonderful to spritz with after a shower but just wouldn’t stay with me, and resigned myself to having made a slightly expensive mistake.
    Then….Eureka ! I had just been too timid with the usual number of sprays on arms and neck when I first tried it. However, when i used it more as a body spray, with perhaps six or seven sprays on upper body and arms, it was amazing, and lasted and lasted for many hours even in the high heat.
    Citrus fresh and subtly sweet, ‘well mannered’ with modest sillage. Truly unisex. Through the day I kept smiling as I got a whiff of it, and all those who smelt it were positive. And the same happened when I used it in the same way subsequently
    Definitely more for spring and summer, but it is now definitely one of my fragrances for warm weather.

    Lovely,a happy summer perfume that makes me think of happy hot days wearing pretty floatly summer dresses.

    Phenomenal opening if you like grapefruit…it is fantastic…but the grapefruit disappears pretty quickly and it settles into nearly the same citrus scent I end up with from all of the Hermes colognes from this line in the green bottle. They all smell so similar after 5-10 minutes that it is hard for me to even distinguish one from the next. I think this is what disappoints me with these. They start on a very high note then I end up with the same thing as before from another green bottle. They just all end up smelling like a mixed citrus vetiver on me no matter which one I put on. But it is a very pleasant scent that I enjoy, it is just strange to me to have an entire line that smells almost exactly the same after 5 minutes.
    This needs to be applied to your hair and clothes if you want to still smell it at all after an hour. My skin just drinks up this cologne pretty quickly.

    This is a nicely bitter grapefruit. It’s brightness conveys more of a “yellow” to me than a pink grapefruit as the name would imply. Next to it, the rose actually comes off a bit jammy and gourmand. I’m pretty sure there is vetiver in here as well, and that’s what makes it acceptably unisex to those who don’t gender bend with fragrance.
    I start to get orange in the drydown. I sort of wish that extra bit of sweetness wasn’t in here.

    After sampling Eau de Pamplemousse Rose Concentrate, I found it to be a real robust aroma of real citrusy/grapefruit and touch rose scent !!!!!
    When I sprayed it on my skin, this frag is FANTASTIC.. WOW again W O W !!! I have never come across a frag that gave me such an AWESOME feeling like this frag did when I tried it for the first time. It usually takes few times before I buy any fragrance. I tried this frag in the morning during my break, not even two hours later I was already hooked so I bought it in a flash. I received so many compliments in those two hours, I knew this was an GREAT frag and that I would really enjoy using this frag everyday during the spring/summer !!!!
    I am amazed that it only has four notes: rose, grapefruit, lemon and oakmoss. As soon as I sprayed it on my skin, I get an enormous rush of grapefruit/lemon aroma which it is pleasant. The rose and oakmoss ( it is listed as one the ingredients) notes give it enough depth which stays on my skin well over 6-8 hours.
    I agree with another person that Hermes could sell this in gallons and it would be worth it !
    longevity, 10++ on my skin beyond my expectation for a summer frag.
    Sillage is also excellent, you can smell it more then 4ft away.
    Overall opinion, Hermes fragrances are one of the finest quality products that exists in the market which is also well affordable. I own four frag’s and I use them at least 3x a week with the wide range of other frag’s that I also use.
    EDT DE PAMPLEMOUSSE ROES DE CONCENTRATE is stunning, and a excellent fragrance !!!!!!!!!!!!!….Bravo Hermes

    I’m reading alot of reviews that complain of a weak longevity. I sprayed it in my hair at the base if the neck after a shower, it lasted 8 hours. On skin the longevity was about 1 hour.

    Hermes needs to sell this by the gallon, because if this is your thing you’ll be using a lot of it.
    The grapefruit (pamplemousse – I had to look it up) lasts, oh, about a minute or two. Then it’s gone. (It’s a wonderful smelling grapefruit, however – not at all synthetic.) I do believe this is a new evaporation speed record for any scent I’ve tried.
    The rosy scent lingers for an hour or two, then that’s gone, too. Time for more!
    I like this stuff – it’s one of the few florals I can stand smelling on myself – but, wow, longevity is awful. I ought to time this and 4711, Guerlain’s Eau de Cologne Imperiale and Hermes Eau d’Orange Verte to see which one disappears the most quickly.

    I have just tested the cologne version of this. Beautiful non-gourmand grapefruit. It is perfumey rather than “juicy mouthwatering” but without being artificial. I could see myself wearing this for a business meeting in hot summery temperatures. It is a unique cologne and does what a cologne should do. I would not expect monster longevity from this type of scent, however the spray on my hand is still noticeable even after washing my hands a few times. Maybe it will disappear faster on a hot day though, which is not a problem if you are willing to reapply every now and then. Last time I used cologne or “colonia” was when living in Spain and I did not like the typical (budget) cologne scents. This one here is the complete opposite: unique, classy and perfumey in a good way.

    This smells fantastic, for about 25-30 minutes. Then comes the magic. It’s GONE! I got a sample of this and boy am I glad I didn’t actually buy it. I guess I just don’t see the point of owning a fragrance that lasts less than an hour.

    Very authentic, crisp grapefruit, as someone who loves the taste and smell of grapefruit i was very impressed by it.
    It’s a very refreshing fragrance that is perfect for summer days.
    To those who complain about longevity, you might be trying the Cologne version. There is an EDT version that comes in an identical bottle – but frosted glass instead of clear.

    I tried this at the duty free and loved it instantly. I love the depth of this scent. Contrary to most, its the orange not the grapefruit that I get initially. To me it smells of a sweet and sour orange (grapefruit?) with rose weaving thru, all atop the oakmoss that is not mentioned in the notes. The oakmoss seems to give an immpression of moistness. It is pricey and the sillage is not the best but this stayed with me for hours, however, I usually don’t apply perfume to my skin outsid
