Eau d'orange verte Eau de cologne

Uplifting fragrance

When I was in Europe, this was the fragrance of all the bathroom toiletries. I fell in love with the fragrance. When I used the shampoo for my hair, the sillage from the wind blowing through it was breathtaking. This was back in 2014 and I looked for the fragrance, but couldn't find it at the time. Well, I've found it and I purchased it. I don't think it's a "manly" scent, just a fresh, uplifting scent that I will use in the summer.

Beautiful, fresh, summery scent for both m & f

I love this scent, it’s so fresh, light and summery!

Not really for women

To me it is men's perfume rather than women's.

PERFECT

this is the only fragrance is i will ever wear, i bought it on a limb on a trip to paris, and i've never gone back.

Nice and special

Bought it for my husband on its birthday. Expensive but unique. Orangy smell

Wonderful citrus green scent!

I LOVE this scent from Hermes, it's a great cologne for summer!

Fades fast and nothing "fresh" about it

Per the other reviews and product description I was hoping this would smell more citrus and fresh. Nope, not at all smells musty and fades fast. Going back asap

Like beauty...this cologne fades. Fast

I love the smell of this cologne! It's fresh, green citrus; light; with a hint of fresh herbs, but it fades SO FAST, annoyingly fast. I keep a bottle at home and in my car, because I love the smell, but it needs reapplication. It's an addicting aroma, but prepare to spray!

LOVE IT

It smells light and fresh. Best choice for the summer!

all around love

this is a soft, clean citrus with some earthiness to it. i have, from time to time, ventured into wearing men's colognes as there are definitely those that cross over well. this is one of them. it's distinctive and memorable, but likely not for everyone.

Fresh, clean

Love this when I don't want a heavy perfume.

Not my usual pick...

I've been looking for a new scent since Masaki Matsushima discontinued Mat; Orange. Most orange based perfumes are too sweet and childlike or the other ingredients in the mixture are too heady (amber, patchouli, musk). For years, I have been looking for an orange fragrance that isn't sweet, musky or heady. Recently while on vacation a woman suggested Hermès eau d'orange verte! I tried it on and fell in love! It is orange, fresh, and possibly even a touch herbal. I went Sephora to purchase it and told the sales associate I was looking for an Hermès scent that I tried previously and it smelled like oranges. He sprayed all the Hermès scents but none of them seemed quite right. They were all too heady. I had to go wash them off before going home. Finally I tracked down Eau d'orange verte on the Hermès site when I remembered that the original sales woman said it was a unisex scent! I usually don't go for unisex colognes but on women the orange shines front and center. On men the more subtler wood scent emerges. It is lovely! It would be great if the associates at Sephora knew which scents were unisex. Having testers for unisex fragrances available in both the men and women's sections would also help!
