Eau de Pamplemousse Rose by Hermès

What can you say if it smells like nothing? It tastes like watery lemonade, very flat, and doesn’t last more than 2 hours. It’s only good for layering; it doesn’t even scent your clothes or room well. Use it to smell like something on a hot day or right after a shower—nobody will notice unless they press their nose right against you. Very high price for what it offers. 3/10.

It doesn’t last long, but the citrus, green, and rose blend is incredibly realistic, like smelling citrus, grapefruit, and lemon with rose oil and stems. It’s relaxing, although the projection is low and it’s just for me. I hope for more heat to enjoy it to the fullest.

I tried a decant and liked it, but the opening smells like citronella or mosquito repellent 🥴.

Hermès’ orchard elevates the game with fruity and vegetable formulas that are beautiful, potent, and direct. They bring the zesty freshness of a juicy, vitamin-packed grapefruit waiting to be bitten into. The florals are merely there to decorate and enhance the grapefruit. That clean, minimalist, conceptual balance that Ellena handles so well is present in all these formulas—always sharp and clear. There’s no doubt about which fruit, spice, or vegetable takes center stage. While they are highly naturalistic, they are equally beautiful and ideal. These formulas leave no middle ground: either you understand and love them, or you don’t. Minimalist scents by Ellena. Edit: Perfect for layering with other perfumes or for playing around like a perfumer.

Review of the Concentrée version in EDT format. It’s a classic, very refreshing, and well-made cologne despite its simplicity. The grapefruit feels very natural and realistic, which is hard to find these days. It opens with standout citrus highlighting the grapefruit, then blends with a less noticeable rose. It’s pleasant, although it perhaps suffers from excessive simplicity. Decent price, and thanks to Hermès for moving away from current trends. It lasted quite well for me (more than 6 hours) when applied heavily and on clothes, but the sillage always stays stuck to the skin, hard to smell from a distance.

Another Hermes fragrance that qualifies as a cologne for me. It’s a very refreshing scent that I love. Pure grapefruit with a touch of roses is what I can identify. Unfortunately, its longevity and sillage are very short for its high price. In my opinion, it’s a more masculine, summer, and daytime scent. Worth trying (and buying) if you can.

Exquisite to the soul! What a pity it fades so quickly; it’s super intimate and only lasts about an hour and a half. After that, it just lives in your imagination. It’s pricey and, in my opinion, doesn’t justify the cost, though it remains beautiful.

Hi Juancar7777. This perfume has low projection and longevity; it doesn’t have much strength, but it’s good. Just that for an Hermes price, one expects more. It lasts with medium projection (about 2 meters) for less than 3 hours and then stays almost skin-scented.

I think it’s a good perfume for summer. But could someone tell me how the fixation, longevity, and projection are? Thanks a lot.

Delicious! I’m absolutely thrilled by its freshness. I can’t believe it only has three notes: grapefruit, orange, and rose. It shares a lot with Dior Homme Sport (2008) thanks to the grapefruit, but this Les Colognes Hermes Eau de Pamplemousse Rose is much wilder, simpler, and rawer. You should also count in the Petit Grain, those citrus leaves. You can smell the rose, but it’s not the star. It’s ideal for a trip to the Caribbean islands, dressed in white and khaki, wearing bermudas, sipping a tropical cocktail, and strolling through port streets and boulevards (well, anyone who’s been to those islands knows what I mean). For guys over 35. It could be unisex, though I feel it’s more masculine. In short: it’s a wild citrus. If you don’t like it, move on; if you do, you’ll love it. Exquisite to the superlative degree. A good salesperson would say: if you smell it, you’ve already bought it. hehe
