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.

Unisex, for me. I layer it with Tea Rose when I want a prettier, more floral scent. I can wear this year round but it's especially nice in the summer. Surely citrus & rose are not the only notes? I get something earthy & warm that reminds me of a tack room on a summer day. Maybe leather or some type of grass? Which is why I immediately had to buy it instead of the Hermes Voyage I had in hand to buy when the sales person handed me a sample strip. I smelled it and stated, "Smells like horse, but in a good way." I know, bizarre. But it's not a bad thing. Fellow equestrians and horse lovers will know what I speak of when they smell this. I feel like I can wear this out after leaving the barn and not smelling like a barn. I really wish Hermes would list the notes in their scents.

I have just tested the cologne version of this. Beautiful non-gourmand grapefruit. It is perfumey rather than "juicy mouthwatering" but without being artificial. I could see myself wearing this for a business meeting in hot summery temperatures. It is a unique cologne and does what a cologne should do. I would not expect monster longevity from this type of scent, however the spray on my hand is still noticeable even after washing my hands a few times. Maybe it will disappear faster on a hot day though, which is not a problem if you are willing to reapply every now and then. Last time I used cologne or "colonia" was when living in Spain and I did not like the typical (budget) cologne scents. This one here is the complete opposite: unique, classy and perfumey in a good way.

Eau de Pamplemousse Rose! Such a gorgeous name! And I love the perfume, and also the fabulous colour. It's divine. The perfume's lovely. Grapefruit. Beautiful. It's a truly delicious grapefruit. Very natural, juicy and fresh. Mmmm. It stays for an hour, then becomes slightly more orange, which is still nice, in a milder, sweeter way, and then slowly, I start to detect a lovely lovely rose, which gradually gets stronger, over about another hour. It stays like that for a while, then changes to smelling greener and a bit spicy. It's really beautiful. Altogether the lovely perfume lasts for about 4 hours, which I don't mind at all, because I love re-spraying, and going through it's lovely stages again, and again. I love it. It's beautiful.

Ahh, the confusion that seems to surround Hermès Pamplemousse Rose! I just read a recent review in which the seemingly esteemed reviewer exhibited no knowledge that there are two versions of this fragrance. throughout the article she referred to the "Concentre" version as an eau de cologne rather than the accurate eau de toilette. IMO, the addition of vetiver to the concentrated EDT version makes them two entirely different fragrances. In the EDC, the rose shines through. You get grapefruit and rose. That's it. To my nose, the EDT is much greener and more masculine, and the rose is undetectable. I prefer the cologne. It lasts for several hours on me and it's a much softer scent. Spritz some on your clothes and it will last all day.

This fragrance is absolutely delightful for summer. The opening is a burst of very realistic grapefruit. Delicious, bittersweet, fresh, and juicy. Dries down quickly to more of a bitter orange peel than juice of the grapefruit. The pretty rose note is very light and adds a nice sweet floral touch but overall this is more of a citrus fragrance. Not strong but actually surprisingly lasts quite well despite not containing any traditional base notes and for being a citrus based cologne. Pamplemousse Rose is unisex and fantastic for hot weather. I took it with me to Puerto Rico, where as you can imagine the weather is always sweltering and humid. Spraying this cologne had me refreshed during my vacation. Highly recommend trying it.

Jean-Claude Ellena described it as "A bitter-sweet cologne: freedom in tradition." But for me it's citrus-sweet. The freshness of the citrus fruit is lively and tasty. The freshness make it perfect for a stroll down a pier on a nice day (no hotter than 23 degrees) in white tshirt and stone wash jeans. The zesty falvour of grapefruit takes on a whole new level. But I guess all good things must come to an end and some far too sooner than others! Sillage - 5/10 Longevity - 4/10 Scent - 7/10 I literally have to take this bottle out with me when rocking this theme for reasons that are two fold 1. The scent does not last as long as I would like. 2. The top notes are far too intoxicating to leg go so the top is well worth it.

I tried this at the duty free and loved it instantly. I love the depth of this scent. Contrary to most, its the orange not the grapefruit that I get initially. To me it smells of a sweet and sour orange (grapefruit?) with rose weaving thru, all atop the oakmoss that is not mentioned in the notes. The oakmoss seems to give an immpression of moistness. It is pricey and the sillage is not the best but this stayed with me for hours, however, I usually don't apply perfume to my skin outside of testing the fragrance unless it is a natural fragrance. So maybe this is why my experience of longevity was fine. For me this is pure pleasure and indulgence.

A classic and straightforward grapefruit/rose frag that is well-executed in the inimitable Jean-Claude Ellena style. Yes, it is fresh -- like a summer drink to be had at the height of the noonday sun. Yet somehow -- despite this evanescent style/ this fizzy frothy top, it darkens and becomes spicier -- an incredible rose note appears -- dewy, dank, dark red intense and indeed beautiful! As if, having just sipped your lemonade -- you find yourself in a field of dark red roses -- its bouquet headily wafting in the breeze! So though configured to refresh in the classic eau de cologne style, this one intrigues, beckons, and beguiles! Recommended!

A very subtle and exquisite blend of grapefruit and rose. It's definitely a step ahead of Ellena's Eau Parfumee au the vert (PR is less sweet, less flowery, more unisex) and Un Jardin sur Nil (in PR the citrus note is less sharp and the composition is much better blended). I've been long trying to find a citrus cologne that wouldn't make me sneezing because of extreme sharpness of this family, would have decent longevity, and would manage to stay true to the opening notes. This one fills the bill. My favourite cologne so far.

First you get a huge spray of grapefruit juice - zesty and fresh. When it dries down, the bubbly rose emerges, and the combination is sheer bliss. A great summer fragrance (I think it'll give a fair fight to my Mandarine Basilic by Guerlain), perfumy but light enough for hot days. This is a happy, happy fragrance, IMO mainly made for daytime use. Longevity is quite good for a citric scent and sillage is good as well.

Such a great fresh grapefruit smell for the first hour or so. Then becomes a nice clean, soft rose musk. I want to keep spraying this to continue that initial smell! Unisex for sure, both my husband and I like. It lasts no more than 2 hours on him, perhaps a bit longer on me. Still want a bigger size of this than my little sample. Will try the concentre in hopes it will last longer.

I wish cardamom was in the pyramid - its super prominent and last longer than the grapefruit note imo. Fresh grassy citrus with a little soapyness at the drydown and a very realistic green cardamom note throughout. I do pick up orange too in the first 5 minutes. Really nice but so fleating.

This one might just be my favourite from Hermès' basic set. The citrus is so photorealistic and fresh that only Terre d'Hermès Eau Très Fraîche and Eau Givrée can outperform. I'm really fond of citrus scents from this brand. Longevity is not good, but again, what do you expect? It's citrus!

So refreshing and beautiful. Elegant red rose under clean, fresh pamplemousse (grapefruit). There is no dimension along which this could be better. Even the lightness is a gift; it lasts, but subtle. Never overwhelming, summer and night and work and whenever you need to feel better.

I've worn this a few times on skin, I don't smell the rose but the grapefruit/pamplemousse opening is wonderful. To my nose the middle and base are vetiver done Very Well. I am disappointed that I don't smell more rose in the fragrance but I still think this is a great fragrance.
