The cologne Hermes Eau de Gentiane Blanche was created by Jean-Claude Ellena in 2009. This perfumer is known worldwide for his minimalist approach, which has earned high acclaim. The perfume Eau de Gentiane Blanche is unisex, allowing both men and women to enjoy its rich scent.
The fougère fragrance owes its bitter-sweet nuances to gentian. It is very rarely used in perfumery, more commonly found in the preparation of balms for therapeutic purposes. The perfume with gentian was specially released to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the house of Hermes. The complex and bold composition is harmoniously complemented by iris, benzoin resin, musk, and frankincense. The design of the bottle is in line with the majestic Hermes brand: an elongated bottle made of matte dark green glass.
The fragrance is beautiful! If you are fond of grassy scents, bitterness, a touch of greenery, and a dusty feel in perfumery, then this is definitely for you. It has an amazing balance. I just started with a 100ml bottle, but it's already running out and I want more! It lasts for 6 hours and leaves a trail within arm's reach. It is perfect for any time of the year. It is an absolute unisex fragrance that is suitable for the office, walks, and vacations. Thank you Makeup for such affordable prices!
I have never smelled the flower itself. The fragrance of the cologne itself is simply exquisite! It has a bitter herbal scent with a hint of pepper. I think the mixture of resin and frankincense gives it a black pepper note. I don't detect any sweetness at all, which gives me reason to recommend it to men.
