Hermès Eau de Citron Noir Eau de Cologne Spray 50ml

Hermès Eau de Citron Noir is an eau de cologne created in 2018 by the house's in-house perfumer, Christine Nagel. It presents a sophisticated exploration of lemon, transforming this familiar citrus fruit into a more complex and contrasting olfactory experience. The fragrance is designed to offer immediate freshness with surprising depth and tenacity, challenging the traditional ephemeral nature of colognes. It is presented in the collection's distinctive lantern-shaped bottle with a deep blue hue, accompanied by the signature orange Hermès box sealed with a blue band. The composition is classified as a citrus woody fragrance. It opens with the sharp, bright freshness of lemon before revealing its contrasting heart. The central accord pairs this citrus with the distinctive character of black tea, which introduces a subtle tannic quality. This transitions to a base of smoky guaiac wood, providing warmth, depth and a persistent dry-down that distinguishes it from lighter colognes. The perfumer drew inspiration from various citrus fruits, ultimately focusing on the smoky and distinguished character of black lime to create this unique scent profile. This fragrance is well-suited for those seeking a refined, unisex scent that moves beyond simple freshness. Its construction makes it versatile, offering the initial burst of a classic cologne with the longer-lasting sophistication of a woody fragrance. It fits seamlessly into daily wear, from daytime use through to evening, providing a clean, elegant and subtly distinctive signature. The 50ml spray bottle offers a practical size for regular use and travel, making it an accessible entry into the Hermès Colognes collection, which is dedicated to exploring the sensory nature of materials.
