Beyond the Birkin: A Taste of Hermès Luxury Through Fragrance

When we hear the name Hermès, we often think of the Greek messenger of the gods (Hermes). Or, you might think of the luxury brand (Birkin bags, Chypre sandals, and silk Twilly scarves). However, I doubt fragrances are the first thing that comes to mind. Well, believe it or not, this brand, which started off making equestrian gear, creates amazing fragrances.

If you can’t get your hands on a Birkin just yet but would like a taste of Hermès luxury, consider purchasing one of the following fragrances instead.

Hermès Tutti Twilly D’Hermès EDP

If you are looking for a scent that is as vibrant as it is elegant, look no further than Tutti Twilly d’Hermès. This fragrance is an absolute joy. Lychee is beautifully balanced by the slight spice of ginger blossom and a soft base of musk. As a bonus, the packaging is completely charming. The bottle features a tiny, brightly colored silk ribbon tied around the cap, giving a nod to the brand’s silk scarves. It is the perfect everyday, casual scent.

Hermès L’Ambre Des Merveilles EDP

While some scents are made for the bright light of day, L’Ambre Des Merveilles is made for golden sunsets. This fragrance is rich and incredibly smooth. It has a resinous warmth that feels like a soft safety blanket. There is something deeply comforting about this scent that makes it perfect for cooler weather or an intimate evening out. I can’t express how much I love this scent.

Hermès Terre D’Hermès Parfum

Now one for the gentlemen. Let’s talk about a modern classic. True to its name (terre translates to earth), this scent feels incredibly connected to nature. It opens bright, but quickly settles into a robust blend of woodsy notes and a very unique, mineral flint note. It smells exactly like a sun-baked forest just after a light rain.

Hermès Voyage D’Hermès EDT

If you have a bit of wanderlust, Voyage d’Hermès is the perfect fragrance to take you on a journey. This scent is all about freedom and the spirit of adventure. It is a wonderfully balanced unisex fragrance that manages to be crisp and airy, yet deeply captivating. Plus, the unique swivel bottle is a stunning piece of hardware that nods to the brand’s travel and equestrian roots.

Hermès Eau De Basilic Pourpre EDC

For those who love something fresh, Eau de Basilic Pourpre is the way to go. As part of Hermès’ cologne collection, this fragrance is a celebration of a sun-drenched summer. It centres on purple basil, which might sound like an ingredient meant for your kitchen rather than your vanity, but Hermès makes it incredibly chic.
