Nagel takes the helm from Ellena at Hermès in this scarlet bottle. I paid the price of a bankruptcy for two weeks just to get it. It opens with an atypical fruit, very minimalist. Although I’m not sure about its unisex label, it has an exotic feminine side that wears well. It’s floral and fruity but discreet; the rhubarb adds acidity, smelling like synthetic peach bubblegum with a warm, sophisticated moss. It’s beautiful but generic, and the longevity is poor, like Eau de Pamplemousse Rose. I think Hermès fails at its unisex minimalism. I wear it at night or reapply it all day. 4 seasons. Bottle 10, Scent 9, Performance 5.
Starts with an acidic touch that then softens. While both Ellena and Nagel seem minimalist, they are entirely different worlds: the first is subtle, like an etching with provocative voids; the second is pure, unadorned minimalism.
Eau de Rhubarbe Ecarlate 2nd review. Update: The best of this fragrance, which demands generous application, comes in the dry down, which becomes slightly powdery with a firm presence during the first 3 hours, followed by a long skin trail with very pleasant awakenings of a fine, deep, fruity rhubarb. I’ve verified that this fragrance is particularly susceptible to pHs, as for some strange reason it lasts very little on me, but on my mother, even after 12 hours, the scent is still perceived with certain intensity.
This is a different fragrance; it has a mix of sweet and bitter scents that makes it interesting, as it’s striking at first sniff. If anyone is thinking of rhubarb cakes, forget it, because it’s a freshly pulled vegetal rhubarb. The opening is a bit overwhelming and even spicy, but it doesn’t last long, and afterwards, there’s no evolution in the dry down. As for the sillage, it’s good, but the longevity (it should always be tested on each skin, as we know, things of pH) on my skin was one hour. My conclusion is that while it caught my attention, I think it lacks that touch of exquisite, distinguished elegance that other creations from the house present, and if we analyze it from a quality/price point of view, I think it’s an excessive expense for what it offers.
I don’t know what Rhubarbe Ecarlate has, but I loved it at first sniff; it has that component that attracts me, I felt it differently, very pleasant, and I wanted to smell more and more. Also, it was a saving sniff since I had worn two very sweet perfumes in a row, and this came to save the day with its ‘I don’t know what’ that I notice is special. I came back again, and yes, it has that very special little scent; I didn’t know rhubarb had such a special aroma. But the longevity was lower—not what I expected from the Hermès house currently regarding my skin, but considering the price it commands. On my skin, it didn’t last long; maybe it lasts longer on others. But it’s delicious to smell. I love it.
I have to clarify that yesterday I wore three sprays: one of this, one of Jardin Li, and one of the one that smelled the strongest, Rose Amazone. I’m mentioning this for possible interference, but the reality is that with those amounts I could smell myself for 7 hours or more. My perception is that this is the one that smelled the least, yet there it was, even though it’s supposedly EDC. It aims to recreate the duality of rhubarb, and in my judgment, it succeeds: it starts very vegetal and somewhat bitter, then gradually changes to something sweeter, always maintaining a point of freshness. It’s very airy and minimalist, but in my judgment, of a quality (damn word we use without knowing what it means, lol) that very few houses, especially designers, offer. I’m talking about perceived quality since I can’t concretize the objective, but I perceive naturalness and accords different from the mega-clichés offered by other brands.
I liked it, first of all because it’s pleasant, soft, and comforting, and second because it reminded me of the scent in a class from my first year of college, where some girl must have worn a similar perfume. It’s fresh and simple, but at the same time warm and with a certain intention. It constantly unfolds a vegetal sensation with floral and powdery nuances. It wears very well; it’s a peculiar scent, that characteristic note, slightly sweet, somewhat bitter, and fleshy, which reminds me of radishes—I suppose it must be the rhubarb—very well framed by a friendly and clean atmosphere. For an Eau de Hermès, it’s not bad on longevity, and its projection is just right to be delicate but perceptible at a short distance. The main problem I see is that, in my opinion, it turns out to be completely feminine. Maybe it’s that musk with flowers or the absence of heavier notes, but the truth is I’ve felt a bit uncomfortable in that regard. Despite everything, I’d love to smell like a woman wearing it. I recommend trying it, as it’s pretty, very natural, and escapes the trend of this line to disappear ten minutes after application.
Happy to test these wonders based on natural essences that reproduce nature perfectly. Far from mass trends, this Hermès focuses on the earth and its fruits: rhubarb as the protagonist, with a sweet-and-sour, vegetal, edible, and unique scent. Red berries occupy the fruity heart, giving it a feminine twist (even though it’s unisex), and a softened finish by the musk. Huge quality; it could be niche. I like the beginning a lot, although the heart transports me to a feminine fragrance. Unisex, versatile, and for any season.
Happy to be able to test these little wonders of perfumery based on natural essences that reproduce nature perfectly. Far from strident mass trends, this Hermès focuses on the earth and its fruits: rhubarb, the main protagonist of the opening with its sweet-and-sour, vegetal, edible, sweet-citrus, and unique smell. Red berries occupy a fruity heart that makes it a feminine twist (though unisex) and a softened finish by musk. Huge quality; it could easily be niche. I love its start, but not so much its heart, as it transports me to a feminine fragrance. Unisex, versatile, and for any season.
I’d never heard of rhubarb before, nor seen it. This saves me from thinking it smells like strawberry. What I perceive is a strange yet familiar blend: a green rose, plucked from the bush and bleeding sap, mixed with a pink and bitter grapefruit. It’s effervescent, as if it has pepper, dancing and tickling my neck. The first half-hour is intense; I like it, but 4 sprays overwhelm me if I’m not outdoors. It lasts 45-60 minutes with a soapy quality. It’s a bitter, citrus-sour, and vegetal wash, floral like an almost ammonia rose. At first, it repels me, but within two minutes, it attracts me like a novel drug. After the first hour, it calms down and becomes a clean, pretty, fruity musk, almost generic, until the rhubarb reminds me why I like this. Surprise: it has considerable sillage for an hour and a half. I’m reconsidering my veto on Nagel. So many nuances in an eau de cologne deserve respect. It’s addictive, and I remember it more by sensations than by aroma.
I’d never heard of rhubarb before, nor even knew it existed. This gives me the chance not to fall into the trap of thinking it smells like strawberry. Anyway, what does a strawberry smell like? Well, this starts strange yet familiar at the same time. It’s a curious blend with a prominent rose. It’s green—a rose you pull out of the bush without scissors, tugging so hard on the stem that it bleeds sap onto your hand and wrist. It’s a mix of very green rose and pink, bitter, under-ripe grapefruit. Everything is effervescent, as if it carries pepper, dancing and playing tickle-tag on your neck, nose, and almost your eyes. The first half-hour is extremely strong for me. I like it, but with 4 sprays, if not outdoors, it overwhelms me. It lasts about 45-60 minutes with a spongy quality: stay away from this, don’t even try it. It’s a bitter, citrus-sour, green sponge; tremendously vegetal, as floral as an almost ammonia-like rose. After letting my confused perception go, I have to say that almost as much as it overwhelms me, it attracts me. It repels me for a moment, then I change my mind two minutes later and feel that curiosity and masochism that a novel drug can awaken. Maybe it all boils down to this: what was novel to me, something that hadn’t happened in years. After the first hour of this aroma that beats me up, moving me between love and hate, everything calms down and turns into a clean, pretty, correct musk, something fruity and almost generic. And I say almost because suddenly the rhubarb appears to remind you that, even if you’re down, you dig this. Like a dealer doing clienteling. Important: surprise, at least for me, considerable trail for an hour and a half, a couple of long hours as a close-to-skin scent. I’m reconsidering the ban I put on Ms. Nagel. Probably unjustified and based on childish comparisons to her godfather. So many nuances and sensations in an eau de cologne (minimal?) deserve merit. I wouldn’t know how to score this strange and addictive thing; when I’m not using it, for now I remember it more by sensations than by aroma.
I tested it on a blotter. The opening was very interesting, and I was happy about the installment promotion. But as it dried down, it felt just like Kenzo Jungle Elephant: a sweet, green, creamy scent that turned out to be intolerable. It gave me something between disgust and annoyance. I realize it’s just very personal; it doesn’t smell bad to anyone else, but that specific sweetness just doesn’t work for me. I imagine it must be a delight on other skin types. The specialist salesperson told me Rhubarbe means beet, so they must have been trained on that. There’s a bit of a beet flavor to the aroma, but without the earthy tuber base. It’s like a beet boiled for a long time; only its sweetness survives. I just read Demopop’s review, and after experiencing the perfume, I understand everything they said. What a curious perfume… I wish I had liked it.
So pleasant and soft; the scent evokes freshly made quince, peach, or apple compotes or purees, or even chewing gum. Ideal for cold climates, an out-of-this-world scent that isn’t heavy at all. Its only flaw might be that it doesn’t last long.
Bought it because I had a real craving for it and snagged it super cheap here, especially since the original price is insane. So beautiful! Smells like rose and grapefruit, and on my skin it’s not sweet at all—it’s super fresh. I’m becoming a bigger fan of the Hermès house.
For me, this Rhubarbe Écarlate along with Mandarine Ambree are the best eaux in this collection, which I love all of… But the longevity of some is a joke. Yet, the aromas of each and every one are special, harmonious, and transportive… It’s obvious.
Exotic, minimalist fragrance with a very natural construction. Unisex with a feminine tendency due to the fruitiness; faintly sweet aroma. By quality and originality, it could be niche. Scent: 9 Originality: 9.6 Versatility: 8.5 Climate: versatile daytime Age: over 30 Quality: 9.7 Price: 7.5 Sillage: 8 Longevity: 7 (Eau de Cologne) Design: 8 Overall Rating: 8.5 Main Notes: rhubarb Emotions: tropical summer
What I liked most was its dry-down; the musk with the fruity notes (rhubarb predominant, embraced by the citrus sweetness of red berries) is a beauty. It’s excellent for summer. The only flaw is the longevity: after an hour, it leaves little trace. It’s a pity that a high-end Hermès doesn’t have more longevity and the size could be larger.
I love this fragrance! It’s pure nature. It smells vegetal, simple, beautiful. Minimalist? I don’t know, “uncomplicated” is what comes to mind. I only use it at home for two reasons. One, the less important one, its longevity (if it lasted at least two hours more, it would be glorious). Two, and this is the most relevant: it detoxifies me from street smells. Call me crazy, I probably am. But it happens to me like with Cabotine. When I’ve worn sweet, gourmand, vanilla, or foreign scents for days, I feel my sense of smell is invaded and I NEED to use this. That clean rhubarb, bitter, musky vegetal scent, that smell of stems, natural red, green… it gives me immediate relief and satisfaction. I can’t be without it ❤️
I love this fragrance! It’s pure nature. It smells vegetal, simple, and beautiful. Minimalist? I don’t know, ‘uncomplicated’ sounds better to me. I only use it at home for two reasons: one, its longevity (if it lasted two more hours, it would be glorious); two, it detoxifies me from street smells. Like with Cabotine, when I use sweet or foreign perfumes and feel my olfactory senses invaded, I NEED this clean, bitter, musky vegetal rhubarb, on stems and natural red. It generates immediate relief and satisfaction. It can never be missing.
What I liked most about this eau de cologne was its dry-down; truly, the musk with the other fruity notes (a predominant rhubarb embraced by the sweet citrus of red berries) is an excellent aroma for summer. The only flaw is the longevity; after an hour, it leaves little trace, which is a pity… being high-end Hermes fragrances, I’m surprised they don’t have better longevity, and the size could be larger.
This fragrance is a beauty. It feels juicy, acidic, bitter, with a touch of sweetness. I feel very refreshed, like when it’s hot and gusts of wind are blowing and you’re comfortable. It’s the classic situation where you want to smell your wrist over and over. Unfortunately, its longevity is very scarce. While it’s super great for reapplying, it’s not economical. A delicious luxury.
I’m a huge Hermes fan; I love all their perfumes, they’re works of art. With this one, I’m hugely let down. At first sniff, it smells rich right after spraying. But it lasts less than a body splash or mist, or nothing at all. Absolutely nothing. It’s useless. A real tragedy. The aroma was good, but even a supermarket cologne would last longer.
Surprised by all the good reviews of this perfume. The scent is nice, although it doesn’t say much to me, but it doesn’t last more than half an hour on my skin. Super disappointing.
I spotted it at a neighborhood perfumery for €29 without a box, probably old stock, and I couldn’t resist. It’s very pleasant, unisex but leaning feminine at times. Sweet, but not too much, because suddenly a bitter note comes through that grounds it on the man-woman scale. After an hour, it sits close to the skin with a soft scent that’s still noticeable after 8 hours. It reminds me of a late spring breeze. Still, I don’t think I’d pay its regular price.
Totally blown away by all the good reviews. The scent is nice, though it doesn’t say much to me, but it doesn’t last more than half an hour on my skin. Super disappointing.
As they say around here… it smells good but lasts only 5 minutes on the skin.
Smells great and very feminine, perfect for heat. On my skin, it starts with an acidic note like grapefruit (I think it’s rhubarb, though I’ve never smelled that in real life). It fades slowly, blending into a berry sweetness, ending up fruity and watery. It has that classic shampoo vibe—very feminine and great for daytime summer wear. Since it’s light, it works well in the office, though the longevity is disappointing: only 4 hours on me. Pleasant: 6/10 Interesting: 4/10 Versatile: 6/10 Original: 5/10
The opening is fantastic and I love it; it would be great if the entire development stayed this way. As it dries down, it becomes pure red fruits, an absolute cleanliness, but with a feminine touch. It’s a very good fragrance; you can tell it’s well-made and has quality. The performance is worthy of an EDT but behaves like a cologne due to how refreshing, citrusy, and almost drinkable it feels (which makes me laugh 😅). A very good Hermès cologne.
This fragrance was a before and after in my olfactory journey. The entire collection of Hermès colognes stands out for the naturalness, realism, freshness, and simplicity they project. While all are wonderful, Eau de Rhubarbe Écarlate smells like something I’d never tried before. It’s not citrusy, but it’s very clean, slightly sweet, soapy, and sensual. It’s relaxing and evocative, probably more for personal enjoyment than to please others, since it’s very discreet. I’d buy it a thousand times; since it’s unisex, anyone in the family can use it. The performance isn’t great, but you can’t ask a cologne for projection. It doesn’t last past thirty minutes, but it persists as a second skin for hours. I’d buy it even if it lasted five minutes because it brings me happiness. Sometimes the simple is the most effective: you search for the holy grail and realize that less is more. Thanks for introducing me to this aroma.

Of all Hermès fragrances, this is my favorite. Citron Noir is another story, but… why do they have to last so little? You almost can’t smell it by the hour, and it’s super expensive, very expensive for the performance it gives. Even a normal deodorant or 4711 lasts longer. It’s a vegetal, sweet, and cheerful aroma with great grace, but that’s all. Neither the beautiful scent nor anything else compensates for the terrible price-to-longevity ratio. It’s not a scam; it’s an armed robbery.
I love it a ton. The only thing that doesn’t quite click for me is that at the start, during the opening and first few hours, there’s a base note I don’t like. It feels like the rhubarb is too strong and doesn’t convince me. After a while, the red berries take over, and that’s when I fall in love. At this point, it’s incredible—super fresh with a very balanced touch of sweetness. Fresher than sweet. Incredible; if I didn’t feel that weird note lurking underneath at the beginning, it would be a ten. I’d love to try it on skin and see what happens with that note; I tested it on blotting paper. Update: I tried it on skin and fell in love for summer; you can smell the quality. Too bad it lasts about 6 hours, but it convinced me of everything that didn’t quite convince me before.
Crimson Rhubarb is ready to make an impression, featuring a glucose juice that’s almost drug-like. It has an evocative, even nostalgic point reminiscent of teenage colognes from the past that were jewels like Cacharel’s Promesse or Eau Jeune’s Double Je. Fragrances closely tied to red fruits, which back then were associated with youth. The intense freshness and bitterness of the rhubarb contrast with a sparkling, soft, precious, cheerful, and luminous fruity sweetness. It’s that natural sweetness of a vegetation that is both realistic and utopian. A natural and tender aroma with the cozy spark of red fruits. The contrast between the rhubarb’s sweet and bitter defines its great personality, and Hermès certainly captures it.
Scarlet rhubarb prepared to be bitten into, releasing a glucose juice that is a drug. It has a nostalgic point of adolescent colognes from the past, like Cacharel’s Promesse. Very connected to red fruits of that youth. The intense freshness and bitterness of the rhubarb contrast with a sparkling, cheerful, and luminous fruity sweetness. It’s the natural sweetness of realistic and utopian vegetation. A tender scent with the spark of red fruits. The sweet-bitter contrast of the rhubarb defines its personality, and Hermès captures it perfectly.
I like the scent, but… it reminds me of Sedal shampoo, and that takes away from its appeal.
I bought it blind and what a delicious scent: between fruity and medicinal, like a dew. It feels zero synthetic, ideal for summer, fresh and unisex. The only downside is longevity; if it fades after two hours, I’m very disappointed, considering it’s not a cheap cologne.
I fell in love at first sniff. I smelled it before diving into the perfume world and convinced my partner to buy it for me. I see it as unisex now, though with a feminine tint. It’s nothing like the fruity shampoo they claim; to me, it smells aquatic and mineral. At first, it reminds me of artificial oranges, like an orange candy; its acidity and bitterness make it addictive. The only flaw is longevity (especially considering the price), so I carry a decant to reapply around four. It feels very clean, and I can’t imagine anyone disliking it.
I already own three Hermès bottles, and this one is pure joy in a bottle. Fresh, green, and mineral opening with red fruits that wake you up instantly; sparkling and juicy. Since the longevity is short, I created a hack: I mix it with Peach Delulu (which smells like rooibos infusion) and magic happens: Delulu gives it body and makes it last, while Rhubarbe keeps its crisp touch. Together they’re an aromatic cocktail, a vitamin for the skin, cheerful and perfect for hot days.
Green and delicious, invigorating! Reminded me of Nina Ricci’s Belle. It doesn’t last long, but the next day on the decant, it still leaves a subtle rose trail.
