Jour d'Hermes

Jour d'Hermes is a floral for women, composed by Jean-Claude Ellena for Hermès in 2013. Grapefruit and lemon open it with watery notes, so the first impression is cold and clean, and the flowers arrive as a group rather than individually: gardenia and sweet pea in a soft white haze with green notes keeping them crisp. Musk and pale woods close it quietly. Transparent, in the way most of Ellena's work is. It lasts a moderate while and projects moderately, and it suits spring and summer days.
