The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016, Eau de Rhubarbe Écarlate by Hermès is a fragrance crafted by perfumer Christine Nagel that marries the bright tang of rhubarb with the warmth of red berries and lantana. The composition opens with a bold burst of sour rhubarb, which contrasts beautifully against a heart of sweet red berries and green lantana, before settling into a base of white musk that adds a subtle depth without overpowering the freshness above.
This fragrance has an intimate sillage and moderate longevity, so aim for two sprays to ensure it lasts through the day. It reads best close to skin rather than filling a room, making it perfect for daytime wear or casual outings.
