Hermes Jour d’Hermès EDP 80ml For Women

This is a brisk, warm-weather daytime scent that will get you out of the house, to the office, or to brunch, or out shopping without much hassle. It combines spiky grapefruit and soft, musky melon, with gardenia and lily eventually blooming to add texture, softening and bolstering the perfume to a gentle but persistent, creamy whole. Green notes freshen up the middle and prevent this composition from becoming overpoweringly sweet–just right for mornings when the senses need a little extra stimulation.

Sillage and projection are fairly minimal in cooler temperatures, but this scent blooms nicely in heat. It smells fresh, and flirts with soapy, but ultimately pulls back from the edge. But the best part of this perfume is its greenness, chilly and unexpected, peeking through its florals and fruit, adding sophistication that isn’t apparent on first glance. (And the bottle is truly fabulous, quality glass with the size and heft of a paperweight. I even like the bit of repousse bling on top).
