Eau de Pamplemousse Rose

After sampling Eau de Pamplemousse Rose Concentrate, I found it to be a real robust aroma of real citrusy/grapefruit and touch rose scent !!!!! When I sprayed it on my skin, this frag is FANTASTIC.. WOW again W O W !!! I have never come across a frag that gave me such an AWESOME feeling like this frag did when I tried it for the first time. It usually takes few times before I buy any fragrance. I tried this frag in the morning during my break, not even two hours later I was already hooked so I bought it in a flash. I received so many compliments in those two hours, I knew this was an GREAT frag and that I would really enjoy using this frag everyday during the spring/summer !!!! I am amazed that it only has four notes: rose, grapefruit, lemon and oakmoss. As soon as I sprayed it on my skin, I get an enormous rush of grapefruit/lemon aroma which it is pleasant. The rose and oakmoss ( it is listed as one the ingredients) notes give it enough depth which stays on my skin well over 6-8 hours. I agree with another person that Hermes could sell this in gallons and it would be worth it ! longevity, 10++ on my skin beyond my expectation for a summer frag. Sillage is also excellent, you can smell it more then 4ft away. Overall opinion, Hermes fragrances are one of the finest quality products that exists in the market which is also well affordable. I own four frag's and I use them at least 3x a week with the wide range of other frag's that I also use. EDT DE PAMPLEMOUSSE ROES DE CONCENTRATE is stunning, and a excellent fragrance !!!!!!!!!!!!!....Bravo Hermes

I blind bought this. When I first tried it in the height of summer, perhaps I expected too much, and I was a little disappointed. The opening was really wonderful and refreshing and the notes worked so well together, and I liked it very much but it didn't seem to last at all on my skin, and seemed gone in a very short time. I decided that it was perhaps one of those fragrances which might be wonderful to spritz with after a shower but just wouldn't stay with me, and resigned myself to having made a slightly expensive mistake. Then....Eureka ! I had just been too timid with the usual number of sprays on arms and neck when I first tried it. However, when i used it more as a body spray, with perhaps six or seven sprays on upper body and arms, it was amazing, and lasted and lasted for many hours even in the high heat. Citrus fresh and subtly sweet, 'well mannered' with modest sillage. Truly unisex. Through the day I kept smiling as I got a whiff of it, and all those who smelt it were positive. And the same happened when I used it in the same way subsequently Definitely more for spring and summer, but it is now definitely one of my fragrances for warm weather.

This little guy was my very first fragrance lol. I vividly remember it was 2012-2013 and I never in my life used fragrances and had no idea where to even begin. At the time I was really into indie subcultures and browsed 4chan's /fa/ board where I would always notice a recurring thread about fragrances. I owe my entire fragrance hobby to that random OP that randomly had a chart of his recent hauls and he praised this green bottle to high heavens. Through pure destiny, Sephora had that same green bottle on display, and after testing it, I was in love. The magic of fragrances is how much of an effective time machine they are, and one whiff of Pamplemousse Rose, I'm immediately transported to the indie/college campus life of 2012-2014 and all the tender nostalgia that accompanies it. Only complaint that everyone rightfully mentions: This thing is SO SO SO SO SO short. I'm not kidding, I think it lasts 30 minutes and that's being generous. A byproduct of that is you'll be spraying it numerous times, and by the end of the year, the bottle is almost empty. The scent is so incredible and nostalgically idiosyncratic, I'm willing to tolerate that enormous flaw.

I'm reviewing the EDT (Concentre), which comes in the frosted glass bottle. I don't have a lot to say about this that hasn't been covered by others. Very realistic grapefruit smell on the initial spray, like peeling a fresh piece of citrus. This gives way, over time, to a lovely rose note. I'm not normally a big fan of the heavy, dark rose as it is traditionally found in a lot of fragrances (eg. TF Noir de Noir); This is light, and very much smells like a fresh cut rose. It's a very cheerful, bright scent. Projection is pretty restrained, but the EDT lasts longer than the EDC by about double for me. Given that it is almost exclusively citrus and florals, I don't mind this being the sort of scent that exists on the fringe of my senses. I tend more towards deep heavy woods, but this is a good scent for summer or a post-workout shower, I'd definitely prefer this over the typical sport scent. If you buy it online, it can be found at pretty reasonable prices. Scent: 9/10 Sillage: 6/10 Longevity: 6/10 Price: 7/10 Overall: 7.5/10

It's funny how this line of Hermes mostly smells very similar. When I put this on or Concentre D'Orange Verte, Eau D'Orange Verte, and Eau de Cologne Hermes all has the same underlining smell. They all are citrusy at varying degrees of citrus or type of citrus. I do enjoy them all. The only way I can make out the differences is to spray them all on individual papers and sniff. There is quite differences in them. This I can smell rose which none of the others has. It's funny that the grapefruit is sooo overpowering that it's the only thing I smell most of the time.... but then once in a while the rose comes out to play. I would be driving in the car and think to myself... where is this nice rose scent coming from and then eureka... it's the pamplemousse rose. The only bad thing about this line of Hermes is that it's a cologne which means no lasting power at all.
