My Experience
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Jour d’Hermes through a 2 ml sample, and I must say, it left a lasting impression. This fragrance is a delightful blend of floral and musky notes that evoke a sense of warmth and sophistication. Jean-Claude Ellena strikes again, and as a fan of perfumes made by him, I was not disappointed.
From the moment I applied it, I was enveloped in a captivating bouquet that brought to mind scorching hot late evenings spent under the comforting shade of a tree awning. While there’s no explicit tea note, I couldn’t help but detect a subtle hint of jasmine tea or even the earthy essence of pu’er tea, adding an unexpected yet delightful layer to the composition.
Versatility & Longevity
What truly sets Jour d’Hermes apart is its versatility. It effortlessly transitions from day to evening, exuding both class and elegance while retaining an air of approachability that makes it suitable for everyday wear, even in professional settings.
Despite its refined character, Jour d’Hermes maintains a modest presence, with moderate sillage that delicately trails behind the wearer. On warmer days, its longevity impresses, lingering on the skin for a respectable 3-5 hours. I eagerly anticipate testing its performance in colder weather to see how it evolves.
Final Thoughts
Overall, Jour d’Hermes has firmly secured a place in my fragrance collection. Its unique blend of floral, musky, and tea-like accords, along with Jean-Claude Ellena’s masterful touch, has left me smitten. I can already envision it becoming a staple in my rotation, and I eagerly look forward to exploring more perfumes crafted by this talented nose. Without a doubt, Jour d’Hermes is a scent I will gladly repurchase time and time again.
