The story behind the bottle.
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.
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
The perfumer of transparencyJean-Claude Ellena is widely regarded as the most intellectual perfumer of the modern era — a minimalist poet whose work redefined what fragrance could be.
“Cézanne's watercolours contain areas of wash that don't overlap. I proceed in a similar fashion.”
