The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Hermès and crafted by perfumer Christine Nagel, Galop d'Hermes is a complex Oriental fragrance that marries the warmth of leather with floral and fruity notes. The opening burst of quince and saffron sets an unexpected tone, bringing freshness and depth to the composition. Turkish rose and osmanthus add a delicate touch of sweetness, while the base of warm spicy accords and white musk creates a sensual, enveloping finish.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced experience. The quince and saffron notes fade quickly, making it essential to allow time for the rich base to develop. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than across a room.
