  Amazone… The ads showed a woman riding naked, running into the wind, shedding her shawl. Free, entrepreneurial, transgressive. Hermès launched a different feminine fragrance, perhaps to reach younger generations. It keeps that extraordinary quality and seventies spirit: green, mossy, spicy, with voluptuous flowers and soft woods. It avoided aldehydes, a masterstroke. It opens with a burst of bergamot and galbanum, accented with orange blossom. It’s green, reminiscent of Balmain’s Ivoire, but then takes a different path. Balmain turns spicy; Amazone reveals its flowers. Hyacinth, narcissus, and rose are neat, none dominating. First-rate quality. A green floral, sweet-and-sour, slightly spicy from the lily. The galbanum settles and cassia shines; then rose and geranium take the lead. It’s more strident than Caleche, moderate projection, but fixes for over 10 hours. Woods and moss are noticeable after two hours. A sublime sensation. It bears the stamp of its era, but Hermès’ quality makes finding an alternative nearly impossible. Indispensable for lovers of spicy green florals. It has that delicate yet intense play I adore.

  Vintage green, the sibling to Chanel’s N°19. Hyacinth, lily root, narcissus, and moss. A perfume from a generous era, no frills, packed with ingredients and depth. It starts beautifully green before darkening like a night forest. Lasts forever and stains clothes. I love formulas from back when fashion and scents had that pomp and purity. Verdant woody, Amazone is Hermès’ green branch.

  I’d be lying if I said classics like Amazone are easy to describe. Not only do you smell less on the street, but they are groundbreaking, full of beauty, and far more complex than five new launches combined. A quick nose isn’t enough: more layers, denser, with more character and mystery. Amazone is beautiful and simple; if you like vetiver, give it a try. Combining vetiver, blackcurrant, and hyacinth sounds challenging, but more interesting than 90% of moderns. It’s hard to imagine a modern women’s perfume that isn’t niche and smells like this; it’s not feminine enough and requires an acquired taste. The first time I wore it, I mistook the herbaceous vetiver for cilantro, just as I got enveloped, I caught the earthy hyacinth, the clean green of galbanum, and a warm sweetness from blackcurrant. Jasmine, lily, and rose bloom unexpectedly, balancing with conventional femininity. I love vetiver; when it dominates in feminine scents, like in this 70s green floral, it connotes a capable, earthy, grounded woman, perhaps tomboyish but elegant. Timeless, green, combative, and sure. Sometimes a forest fairy, sometimes a coast queen, always superior and a princess of hearts. Undoubtedly a Hermès classic. Warm, meaningful, wise, soft: a bouquet, a forest full of attraction and charisma. Power, poetry, intensity, like a classical symphony. They don’t make them like this anymore.

  I used to steal drops of this jewel from my mom to go out partying. I’m sorry they discontinued it
