Can never work out which I prefer out of this and Parfum d'Hermes as they are quite similar. I re familiarised myself with rouge Hermes yesterday and I have to say I enjoy it's themes. Powdery rose, talcum powder soft musk, and an exotic soft fruity peach/apricot vibe from Ylang and smoothness of sandalwood and orris/iris in the base. There's also a hint of cloves which with the powdery florals creates a subtle effect of carnation to my nose. Dries down quite feminine and although I don't pay that too much attention and only bring it up as there are several Hermes fragrances I'd like ahead of this, which just happen to be a little more masculine leaning. That's my take!
