Hermès fragrances
These are the three Hermès fragrances Scentorian has documented, not necessarily the house's full range. Each one carries a scent description summarised from wearer reports, the notes where the house publishes them, and its sources.

For each season, the fragrances wearers most often report reaching for, counted per fragrance; a tally, not a recommendation.
- Spring: Terre d'Hermès Eau de Toilette
- Autumn: Terre d'Hermès Eau de Toilette
That count comes from a single venue, short of our usual two; the fragrance's page gives it.
3 Hermès fragrances
Eau des Merveilles Eau de Toilette
Eau de Toilette (EDT). Woody, a little leathery, neither floral nor sweet: as wearers tell it, salt and orange peel lie on warm resin and cedar, and for some it is all they wear.
Terre d'Hermès Eau de Toilette
Eau de Toilette (EDT). Dry grapefruit, cedar and a flinty, mineral edge that wearers keep comparing to wet stone.
Un Jardin sur le Nil Eau de Toilette
Eau de Toilette (EDT). Tart green mango and wet lotus, with a bitter, almost vegetable greenery that owners liken to tomato leaf and fresh-cut stems.
