Eau de Pamplemousse Rose by Hermes: Perfume Review / Fragrance Review

Katie Puckrik smells Eau de Pamplemousse Rose by Hermes. Like many Hermès fragrances, this was created by Jean-Claude Ellena. Other fragrances mentioned in this video: Mühlens 4711, Tom Ford Private Blend Neroli Portofino.

I should clarify that when I said cologne is the oldest perfume recipe, I mean that it's the oldest still being made today. There are recipes from ancient times that we know of, but they aren't in large-scale production.

I came across this looking for a fragrance for my best friend (who happens to be a guy)... and OH MY GOSH! This smells so good. Not sure if he'll like it but I'm defiantly buying a bottle for myself.

@beautyncharm It's so zesty-fresh, right?

This stuff smellz sooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. I just bought some and sprayed it everywhere. On my pillows and curtains. It smells Exactly like a freshly cut Grapefruit. And it's not overpoweringly sweet.

@MSeverwonder Sounds like you're getting maximum enjoyment from it!

KATIE THANK YOU! Thank God you didnt say this is Grapefruit / ROSE...like every review online. Rose isnt even in the notes! I like that you said it has a floral type note. Its a combination of the rhubarb / vetiver in this that I think gives it the floral grass smell.

I get so agrivated with basenotes people sometimes when they claim a fragrance has a note just because of a french word used in the name...

Love ur reviews, they are spot on.

@Xrposiedon Thanks for your plaudits! Yep, "Pink Grapefruit" is the translation from French, but you can see where most English speakers head down the wrong path when they read "rose."

why i oughta ...neroli portofino smells EXACTLY like MUGLER COLOGNE by THIERRY MUGLER !

...why i oughta

[mugtastics]

@Xrposiedon from hermes' own site; "A sparkling and delicious sharp freshness and a refined floral note of

roses. A classical Cologne, standing out thanks to its very modern composition."

so how is rose not in the notes.

just bought this for myself - looking for a summer citrus scent for a man. it's very nice!
