What comes to mind? A tailor made white shirt, designer shades, freshly washed hair that dried in the summer wind. It is elegant, clean cut scent. Minimalism and high quality. Voyage gives me good vibes, makes me feel content and puts a smile on my face, even if it’s cold outside. Still manages to transfer me to a beautiful place, where the sun always shines.
lomak76 – :
Voyage is a strange one. I was expecting to smell almond (which always smells like glue to me!); fortunately, no screechy glue scent here. Instead, it is dominated by green notes, tea, leather and musk. The leather is soft and understated, hence it doesn’t overwhelm the senses. It lasts for quite a few hours; the opening is on the sharper side, but then it mellows and becomes even greener than before. Sillage is moderate.

من ندانستم از اول که تو بي مهر و وفايي
عهد نابستن از آن به که ببندي و نپايي
دوستان عيب کنندم که چرا دل به تو دادم
بايد اول به تو گفتن که چنين خوب چرايي
اي که گفتي مرو اندر پي خوبان زمانه
ما کجاييم در اين بحر تفکر تو کجايي
آن نه خالست و زنخدان و سر زلف پريشان
که دل اهل نظر برد که سريست خدايي
پرده بردار که بيگانه خود اين روي نبيند
تو بزرگي و در آيينه کوچک ننمايي
حلقه بر در نتوانم زدن از دست رقيبان
اين توانم که بيايم به محلت به گدايي
عشق و درويشي و انگشت نمايي و ملامت
همه سهلست تحمل نکنم بار جدايي
روز صحرا و سماعست و لب جوي و تماشا
در همه شهر دلي نيست که ديگر بربايي
گفته بودم چو بيايي غم دل با تو بگويم
چه بگويم که غم از دل برود چون تو بيايي
شمع را بايد از اين خانه به دربردن و کشتن
تا به همسايه نگويد که تو در خانه مايي
سعدي آن نيست که هرگز ز کمندت بگريزد

I doubt people who are referencing YSL La Nuit Dl’Homme as a cardamom dominant fragrance have tried this. This has the most authentic cardamom accord that I have ever smelled period. It is fresh, bitter and spicy, has the signature DNA of JC Ellena. Not very much a crowd pleaser but a well rounded fragrance all in all and of high quality.
Vitherspun – :
To think that I almost missed this one just because it was in the men’s section!
A reviewer said earlier that the dry down smells like deers balls and as funny as that sounds, I can see why!
Very animalic, also very masculine in the opening. In time it becomes lighter and more suitable for a woman, while also maintaining what I personally identify as a leather accord.
I have a hard time choosing between the EDT and the Parfum version, for warmer seasons this would be the better choice. Both, however, exude good taste and a great sense of style.

Very Nice Scent, It is a laundry scent however. Performance isn’t enviable, but the scent and it’s potency is just right. If you want something that will scream louder that’s also a laundry scent, try Versace’s The Dreamer

This, simply, smells divine.
Nothing more, nothing less, it is just a beautiful smell.
Its understated, in the most Hermes way.
I want my clothes to smell like this, I want to smell like this, I want people to smell this on me.
If refined, considered, low-key, impeccable taste had a smell, it would be this.
Love.

This is everything I never knew I needed from a hot weather fragrance, and I absolutely hate that it took me so long to find it.
I am, historically, a wearer of “men’s fragrances” in the heat. I do like my fragrances to be very feminine, generally, but fragrances made for women typically rest on a bed of sweetness, which, in the high heat, I am unable to tolerate without developing a blinding headache. (Phew. What a run-on sentence!) My solution? Layer my femme fragrances over uber-clean, uber-fresh men’s summer fragrances, my favourites being Bleu de Chanel (yup!) and Boss Orange by Hugo Boss. I had all but given up on ever finding a women’s summer fragrance that was ‘enough’ in and of itself.
I initially was decided on purchasing Dior Homme Cologne for my summer scent this year. Fresh enough, clean enough, a little bit spicy, tolerable longevity (though below par) and though not at all femme enough for me, I thought, “Well, this is probably the closest I’m going to get.” … which is a dangerous thing to think in the perfume world. There is actually a *perfect* fragrance for everything if you are patient enough.
Enter Voyage d’Hermes. Oh me, oh my. It smells like iced black Indian masala chai with lemon slices in it. That only happens to be my FAVOURITE summer drink (to be fair, Indian chai is my favourite drink all year, iced or steaming hot, as appropriate). It’s fresh, but… unexpectedly so. Usually, you get a mojito or something (looking at Acqua di Gioia for example), something fresh but sweet, too. This is not sweet at all, but also doesn’t veer too far into masculine territory for the lack of sweetness. It is exactly unisex. Or sexless? But… sexy, too, with the cool spicy cardamom. It dries down to a soapy, clean, somewhat woody skinscent, which reminds me of the smell of a docked boat somehow. Ugh. I absolutely LOVE the scent of this.
Performance is wanting, I only get a max of 4 hours, but I wouldn’t spring for the parfum because I personally don’t mind reapplying, since I love the initial burst of this. Sillage is about arm’s length, which is my general comfort zone. Surprisingly, it is also a crowdpleaser! I was at a late lunch in the sweltering heat one day, and I touched up the scent. Everyone appreciated the freshness so much that my bottle ended up getting passed around the table for everyone to get a little spritz! Then the waiter said our table smelled very good. (Usually, people groan about perfume in the heat…)
A definite must-try for anyone who is looking for an unusual hot weather scent, male or female. Jean Claude Ellena, you are a genius. Voyage has set the stage for every subsequent summer fragrance I try to disappoint me.
lkjhgfdsa – :
This is really one of the most beautiful scents I’ve ever smelled. The lemon here isn’t a typical juicy or sharp lemon, but more like a lemon cookie, mixing with fresh spices and soft woods, all with a light, airy texture. Voyage is the DEFINITION of casual elegance. Reminds me of a sunny spring day, or lounging on a patio overlooking the Mediterranean while the breeze blows through your white linen shirt.
cerezhautkin – :
I forget about this one sometimes which is unfortunate. Every time I wear it I fall in love with it again.
Voyage d’Hermes combines two of my favorite notes, grapefruit, and cardamon. The green, watery notes add a clean freshness that makes Voyage d’Hermes perfect for the office. Or the tennis court. Or any daytime activity really.
It is definitely unisex. It’s soft and understated, but with a hint of gin and tonic. It’s a very elegant fragrance
miskmece – :
I’m a woman and find this scent intoxicating. I haven’t smelled it on a man yet…soon I hope! The first things I smell are a blast of pepper and cardamom which makes it quite sharp (which I adore). Then it just mellows to a fresh woodsy and slightly zesty lemon. Wonderful!
FriendPatrick – :
I really enjoyed the tester, so bought it..upon receiving it, although I like the fresh aromatic spiciness, I felt it wasn’t typically feminine enough for my taste..it smells similar to Dior cologne, and I felt it was more appropriate for young men, so I was happy to give it to my 15 year old son..it is a fresh classy scent, the fresh notes mix well with a woodsy undertone.,more masculine smell and the bottle too is more suited for guys..great scent by Hermes .
kakatsiyandrey – :
I am a woman and love it. Haven´t heard a single compliment yet from the husband…He loves all of my other perfumes though. Do you think it´s weird to smell this on a woman? I think it´s perfect for office wear. What do you think?
Xyu – :
JUNIPER BERRIES! Why isnt it listed?
tfh972Unlogrere – :
This is a great fragrance with weak projection and lasting. I really wished it lasted more and projected better. Such unique fragrances should be better performing. Unfortunately only, the ones with Oud do that.
Dagar – :
The smell is great freshness with spice thrown in I like edp slightly better but both edt and edp remind me of a fresh Stella Artois being opened at a family party weird how some fragrances just give you a feel some are short flashes some tell a story some good some bad that’s what I love about perfumery they all paint a picture for you
serega-shepa – :
This is so good, but i think they are really having a hard time making it last so they add this little ingredient. The bugspray drydown of Hermes Colognes esp the citrus scent needs this specific ingredient, and the smoky fumes from traffic at the rooftop in Paris 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.
Update: It took me a long time loving this fragrance, It smells ginger. Its so complex but its simple. Well balanced. If you want to love this fragrance do not use this like a cologne after bath you will not appreciate this. Use this when youre traveling or walking a lot. This really reflects the brand. Simple but elegant. It does not get boring and everytime you get a whiff you get a different note animalic musk to lemon and ginger juice. This is not for everyone. Only for certain people who likes to be unique and smart. If you dress smart and wear this then you certainly are smart and you want to be different than what the crowd wants (*bleu de chanel, terre dhermes, ck one ehem niche cliche). Then they will like this because you are wearing this. This is not a “smell me please! all nose on me!” perfume. The scent is only for the people that is close to you and can get near you. This scent is not douchebaggy like “f*ck me girls i smell good” perfume. This is more like of a directive, young and beautiful/handsome CEO of a design brand or the perfume of the teen sons/daughter of a Hotel Founder.
Very animalic on the dry down. Smells like deers balls.
fast99 – :
Sweet, fresh, woody and sophisticated without smelling complicated or uptight. Very like Acqua di Parma Ginepro di Sardegna but not quite as long lasting. Very unisex, and a great summer weather fragrance that doesn’t smell like sunscreen. It’s the scent of dry woods warmed by the summer sun carried on a salt breeze.
xxICExx – :
I find this scent very soap like. Not in a bad way mind you, but just a clean soapy fresh clean scent. It’s very mild and won’t offend anyone. I’m not a huge fan of unisex scents so it’s not for me.
-San4o- – :
I love the spicy smell of this fragrance BUT i find it at the same time very weak, longevity is a problem here and it is a skin scent within minutes. Love the brand and the bottle though.
i give this one 6/10……
ruuan – :
Just when I thought I was getting good at detecting notes, this perfume has baffled me. I smell fig leaf, like, more than anything else. But there is no fig to be seen, and nobody seems to smell it either. Very strange. To my nose, underneath the fig leaf, there is the unmistakeable Ellena/Hermés DNA. I can definitely smell a resemblance between this and Un Jardin sur le Nil. I don’t smell spicy notes, certainly not cardamom… I’m baffled. This is very nice, though. Refreshing, botanical, and juicy.
wwww39 – :
I like it! Very pleasant and smooth citrus/cardamom dominant scent. In fact it could be one of my favourite warm weather scents if it had at least a high-moderate performance. After 1 hour or so, it becomes a skin scent with zero sillage/projection. Not even a scent bubble that many prada edp create.
Gracho – :
I don’t find this at all masculine – quite feminine in fact, and beautiful at that. So interesting how different scents read differently on different people.

Rust – :
A pleasant, refreshing offering from Hermes. A potent citrus that hangs around for a surprisingly long time! Sharp lemon combines with cardamom and spicy pepper for a likeable, stylish fragrance. I wish I could wear this but it’s definitely too masculine for me. Another great fragrance from Hermes, though.
vpnwd741 – :
بقول دوستان بوی لیمو و هل خیلی دوست داشتنی و آرام بخشه

چون هم طرفدار زیاد دارن هم اینکه مواد خوب و با کیفیتی توشون بکار رفته

dar123 – :
To me this smelled a little like CK One plus cardamom. The cardamom is very prominent initially. If I didn’t already associate cardamom with food, I think I’d enjoy this scent more. There is a classy little touch of musk that compliments the other notes. Once the cardamom slap to the face wears off a little bit, the drydown is a well balanced, pleasant scent. I will give it that, but frankly its resemblance to CK One torques me for the money I paid for it. This is not a cologne where you’re going to walk into a room and wow anybody. It didn’t seem to project well. I’d return this if I hadn’t lost the receipt. I’ll try wearing this for awhile to see if it grows on me, but I’m not holding my breath.
haooa61 – :
This is a nice perfume for daily use.
It has some fine notes. It opens with a citric-spicy note of citrus and cardamom that is embedded in a green tea-like note.
The last note that is also present is the musk but very subtle.
This perfume has something easy going and gives freshness.
It reminds me a bit of cologne 4711 that is used in the same way as the title of this perfume suggests. I guess that is why they made this perfume deliberately in a way you can use it as often as you need it. Because the longevity and the silage is not that great. But the notes in it are very harmonious.
When to use on warm days, when y on the road, when ever and mostly, spring, summer, just as refreshment and of course unisex because it has class; its Hermes.
Мариночка. – :
Amazing scent. Fresh yet musky at the same time. It is clean and simple yet sophisticated. Works for both genders. However, the silage and longevity don’t last long. You can probably smell yourself after an hour or two, but it wouldn’t project.
259 – :
This is one good fresh, spicy, pure green scent! I like it, it’s mild and classy, a little powdery as well.
Very similar to the EDP version, just as good.
A distinctive Hermes’ fragrance, you just know immediately, it’s Hermes.
Great composition, light touch and pure elegance.
Serj_7_7 – :
Green and Clean! Loving this! This is my comfort zone. Non-offensive and classy. Longevity is a concern, but still slightly detectable at the end of the day. A winner if you enjoy green fragrances.
minoga555666 – :
Very woody indeed, opens like pencil shavings. Maybe a very slight hint of metal as well. It warms up very nicely into something like Lancaster D’Light and Burberry Woman but slightly more sophiticated. Very good genuinely unisex perfume. I’d be happy with anybody who smelled like this.
Also I found this very long lasting indeed, all day and definitely longer on clothes.
carpinteyrompy – :
Lighter version (Female) of Terre d’Hermes.
The cardamom is too much & gets cloying as you were it more and more.

5/10
Vitalik8888 – :
Bright, somewhat harsh-edged opening. A bit of citrus, slightly spicy, along with some vegetal green, followed by a much softer, vaguely floral heart. Honestly I can’t even detect the base notes in this, and it’s a skin scent within 45 minutes. Totally gone in 2-3 hours. Note: these results are from a decant worn mainly in air-conditioned spaces in a tropical country.
Disappointing for me. I love my Terre d’Hermes, and I’m a fan of the Jardin series. This scent is just OK, and longevity is such an issue (at least on my skin and in these conditions) that I don’t think a bottle would be worth the price.
What has worked much better for me has been layering this with Philosykos (EDT). Somehow the two short-lived fragrances seem to make each other last somewhat longer in combination, and also the Hermes seems to tamp down the coconut note which I feel is a bit too prominent in Philosykos. The scents really complement each other well. So it’s a winning combo.
profit_igor – :
Voyage d’Hermes begins with a blast of citrus, persists with a veil of warm spices, and ends with a delicate sprinkle of tea and flowers. So unique, so sophisticated! It makes me feel adventurous and ready to take on a challenge!
Deroxwxjdz – :
this stuff is pure magic mmm
this is one of the best citrus openings ever its so uplifting and mood changing from the first spray
its citrus note (lemon) & warm spics (cardamom) hit just right in its opening followed by some middle notes of tea florals and earthy accords which just projects off the skin beautifully the dry down is just as wonderful with hints of wood and musk but thats where it all ends for me
unfortunately this scent doesn’t let its beauty last since longevity is a big issue i dont know how well the edp version does in that regard but I’m willing to break my golden rule and still buy this scent
i may just have to carry around a atomizer to make this last throughout the day
do yourself a favour and give this one a try
thank me later 😉
on to the next
misha57 – :
It has one of those “fresh citrus” openings unlike any other, with a prominent realistic cardamon blast that’s both awakening and mouth watering (one of my favorite accent spices for cooking). Minutes after the opening, cardamon shares its spotlight with the rest of the crowd, turning into a well blended aromatic fresh spicy scent.
Rezed60 – :
Voyage d’Hermes is another masterpiece from the house of Hermès. I feel this unisex fragrance is more suited for men, but could very well see this on a woman. This is my go to for when I just want to smell fresh and clean. It is very well balanced. The citrus opening is typical of say for most of Hermès cologne, but this one also has a blast of cardamom. Now, I wouldn’t recommend it for the summer as the cardamom is overwhelming with the heat. It is wonderful though any other time of year, moreso than most other cardamom fragrances. The mid notes are very interesting to me, its a unique mix of spicy oriental, aquatic, and green. I usually am not a fan of outright aquatic or green fragrances, but voyage is really balanced nicely. The dry down then turns into this lovely woody peppercorn essence. The longevity is average, 3-4 hours with probably 6-8 on clothing. Projection could be s bit better. The bottle design is especially cool and plays into the equestrian heritage of the house. The packaging also is dead on with the feeling if the juice. Overall, another winner for Hermès and for those who want a nice, clean everyday fragrance that’s unique.

I’ve always been a fan of the Hermes fragrance philosophy. I find their creations different and recognizable (at least for me, in the good way).
There’s usually something woodsy, something sour and something citrusy, made up in a luxurious way- a combination I can’t resist.
So I cross my fingers!
Happy holidays to all at Fragrantica: editors, writers and fellow users!

I have started to take an interest in Jean Claude Ellena and his work. I love his gardens and his tea 🙂 His Kelly Caleche is too cool a lady for me. But may be I will get there. I think the way he creates has a lot to do with writing fiction – using real life experiences to create a platonic idea of something – something not real, but representing all ideas of this one thing. The idea of a voyage – THE Voyage, is certainly something I’m curious for.. Thanks!
den24 – :
I would be delighted to receive Voyage d’Hermes. Unisex perfumes appeal to me for daytime, because I don’t like sweet perfumes. The combination of citrus, floral, spice and a bit of musk is appealing.
Rastaman – :
When I know this perfume is going to release, I definitely want to have one.
The aroma is very pleasant to wear in this tropical climate area (Jakarta). And it last longer even though the climate is rather harsh.
I feel very feel very fresh all day long.
Perfect scent for hot and humid area.

This one smells like Un Jardin Sur Le Nil, just missing a few notes. I like it, it’s ok but I think I’ll go for the one with the extra notes, though it is EDT just like this. Interesting bottle.

Prima donna Cardamoma
This sleek vibrant beauty is one of the instances of the pumped-up reality.
And by the way, Parfum version is long lasting but it’s reminiscent of the organic salad, Sur Le Nil, rather than the Cardamom Heaven, Voyage EDT.

I have no idea whether you are the kind of people who experience recurrent dreams. You know, the kind where Chucky chases you down with a chainsaw along the hallway of your school, or where you show up naked at your workplace, or where you are taking the same math test you once failed over and over again. Most of my friends tell me they dream of flying, over and over again. And each time they do I cannot shake a certain feeling of fascination: because I never dreamed of flying nor does it seem like a desirable activity to me. I guess my feet are just too firmly on a ground of my own making to experience such ‘lofty’ desires. So as I was saying, I never dreamed of flying. Until the moment I unscrewed the cap of a bottle of Hermes’ Voyage.
Beauty addicts are surely conversant with Hermes as a label – from the iconic Birkin bags to the magnificent silk scarves and the over the top outstanding fragrances. Funnily Hermes started out as a manufacturer of riding attire – you know, saddles, whips (not that kind of whips, you naughty people 😉 ) and the like, and slowly started moving in the luxury items direction, until it finally metamorphosized into the world’s ultimate symbol of luxury and opulence. I am not a huge fan of Hermes, admittedly – I would go for LV or Dior any day of the week – but I have to give them credit for boundless originality and a certain unmistakable touch to each and every one of their products. You can instantly recognize a Hermes – and once you recognized it, it’s bound to be unforgettable.
Imagine being an eagle, or a swan. Your wings are spread, your gaze fixed on a horizon which is never out of reach. Beneath you snowy mountain tops, silvery lakes with silvery fish leaping playfully through a crystal clear surface. Fields of green, juicy, vivid, complete green, daisies and lavender, forest groves, deer grazing in the distance, and sun, sun, sun – endlessly luminous. The air is so fresh and clean it’s almost intoxicating. You can hear no sounds – just distant echoes from the hilltops, remembrances of the beauty of a world you left behind. You breathe in, and out. There is nothing in that blue infinity but you and a God of your own making. Have you ever smelled freedom? This is how it tastes like.
Voyage is officially classified as woody musky – in my book it is airy ethereal. The cleanliness of this scent, the purity, the otherworldliness are simply impossible to put into words. This truly IS the smell of air – or at least the way I imagine the air above the highest mountain tops might smell like. For my entire life I have been an worshipper of heavy, opulent, hypnotizing scents – but I admit I find myself completely enveloped by this magical, surreal broth. There’s one thing I have to say, though: you need patience with this fragrance. In the beginning you will be hit by that typical Hermes vegetal note which is present in everything from the Jardin collection to the male Terre (which I ADORE – though sniffing the pure perfume version last week was a huge disappointment – I’ll be back on this one), and which I abhor. Luckily, in Voyage it subsides pretty fast, giving way to that delicious airiness I mentioned before. So be patient, it’s completely worth it.
Voyage is officially unisex – but I have to say it clearly moves much more in the male direction – which is perfectly fine with me (Gaultier Squared is, to my nose, though unisex, clearly feminine, and so is Rabanne’s One Million, which is labeled a male scent). I can imagine an English aristocrat in a white silk shirt wearing it on the marble terrace of his countryside chateau, sipping a glass of Hennessey, overlooking the garden labyrinth, the white pebble pathways, the wrought iron gates that separate his estate from the rest of the world. He is looking up at the skies, taking the world in. And the world is his.
Wear this one when you feel there is no limit to how high you are allowed to get your hopes. When you feel like you can soar not only the sky, but all skies. When your life grows wings and unfolds into what you never dared dream it could be. Voyage is not simply a scent of flying. It is not only flight – it’s levitation.

Me and my husband share this. Great for travelling light. Crisp citrus with floral and woodsy notes. Very unisex. It is nice I like it. Although it smells much better on him.
I feel in the effort to make this unisex it is a bit too pleasing. Trying to make everyone happy. It is not something I love. It doesnt come close to Terre D’Hermes for my husband. But nice enough to keep us both happy.
vinogradsel – :
Smell is actually one of my weaker senses. Yet, I know when something is elegant or not. This one is tricky for me. On one hand I tend to wonder if I smell it? Usually need something heavy and thick like the 80’s to capture me. However, I’m always left thinking this is one of my treasures. Maybe I’ll get a better feel once the summer heat passes Even now, I love to spray this on and know that everything around me just got a little more refined.

Talking about EDT..
elegant blend
Perfect choice for work or a day meeting
it has got the very necessary power that gives you a refreshing kick right after its first spray
cardamom combined with spices in more than a perfect ratio with a dry down of charismatic wood are enough to clear your mind & make you ready for a successful day
Very serious problem with EDT is that neither the projection nor the longevity support the awesomeness of this fragrance
It just disappears in less than 2 hours
Projection can be compromised but too short lasting time becomes the convincing reason to think twice before you buy this elegant fragrance
Smell 8.5/10
Projection 5/10
Longevity 3.5/10
If we talk about EDP..
Projection and longevity are good but addition of extra cardamom makes it rather sweeter and less masculine
Smell 5/10
Projection 7/10
Longevity 7/10

too much cardamom hermes. i tried this in some duty free with test strips and really liked it enough to buy. a few days later at home and on skin… well… it just goes to show… try it on skin before buying. haha. did not like it one bit. that’s the problem when you try too many scents on yourself in duty free that the only other place left to spray is on a piece of paper. i’m sure you cardamom lovers will regal in this one.

A Voyage to India!
I love this, it honestly smells EXACTLY like Indian tea boiling, with the the green cardamom at the forefront,which is the centerpiece of not only Indian tea but also Voyage D’Hermes, an ode to Cardamom and spices with a refreshing twist. There are some similarites with this and Apres les Mouson. Where as Apres Les Mouson is all about the wet forests of Southern India, Voyage D’Hermes conujures up images of Tea Plantations in India

Anyone wanting more longevity is probably wearing it to work during the day and the important thing to remember is that with any great fragrance, the first impressions you make th
