Eau de Pamplemousse Rose by Hermès was launched in 2009 and crafted by Jean-Claude Ellena. This fragrance embodies a modern take on the classic cologne style, blending the crisp vivacity of grapefruit with the delicate radiance of rose. The hesperidian theme, brought to life through the grapefruit's lively notes, is harmonized beautifully by the subtle sweetness of rose, creating an olfactive vignette that captures both freshness and warmth. Jean-Claude Ellena’s composition strikes a fine balance between traditional and contemporary sensibilities, making it a distinctive expression of Hermès’ signature refinement.

Application Tips
Given its weak longevity and intimate sillage, apply this fragrance generously at first to ensure it lingers throughout the day. It's perfect for daytime wear when you want a fresh, crisp scent that stays close to your skin without overpowering.
Jean-Claude Ellena
Founding perfumer · 104 fragrances · French
As a disciple and close friend of the legendary Edmond Roudnitska (creator of “Le Parfum de Thérèse”), Jean-Claude Ellena began his career with a minimalistic approach to perfumery. Since then, he has developed this approach into his own distinctive style, which is continually informed by his elegant and quiet way of being, and has been compared by his contemporaries to watercolor sketches and chamber music. Jean-Claude says that a perfume must be like “a soft caress; nothing must shock, nothing must shout”.Jean-Claude Ellena was born in Grasse into a family of perfumers. His training began at age 17, in the most prestigious laboratories – in Grasse, Paris, New York and Geneva – where he always saw himself as self-taught. Roudnitska’s minimalism never left him, however, and his compositions remain focused around a single ingredient, avoiding repetition.
