Hermès Concentré d'Orange Verte Eau de Toilette 100ml is the deeper, longer-lasting interpretation of the maison's iconic 1979 Eau d'Orange Verte cologne — launched in 2004 and composed by Jean Guichard. An explosion of orange zest and leaves is supported by lemon, mandarin, mint and blackcurrant bud, settling on a refined oakmoss-and-patchouli base. Where the original Eau d'Orange Verte is a sparkling, classical cologne, the Concentré is fuller-bodied and warmer.
About Hermès
Hermès is the Paris-based luxury house founded as a harness-and-saddle workshop in 1837 by Thierry Hermès, today led by Pierre-Alexis Dumas. The Orange Verte family began in 1979 with the original Eau d'Orange Verte cologne — Hermès's first major fragrance and a defining moment in citrus perfumery. The Concentré chapter, composed by Jean Guichard a quarter-century later, reimagines that same orange-blackcurrant signature with notably more depth and projection.

Who it's for
Concentré d'Orange Verte is genuinely unisex and suits anyone drawn to bright, refined citrus-aromatic fragrances over heavy oriental or sweet gourmand styles. It is at its best in spring and summer for office, daytime and warm-weather travel, but the oakmoss-patchouli base anchors it for cooler-weather wear too. Wearers of the original Eau d'Orange Verte, Acqua di Parma Colonia or Tom Ford Costa Azzurra will find familiar territory here with a deeper, longer-lasting profile.
How to use
- Spray onto clean, moisturised skin from around 15 cm away.
- Apply to pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears and inner elbow.
- Two to three sprays of an EDT is plenty; the oakmoss-patchouli drydown lasts notably longer than a traditional cologne.
- For a longer scent trail, mist lightly onto a cotton shirt or linen jacket.
Size: 100ml. Presented in Hermès's signature Eau de Cologne flacon with the iconic stirrup-style label and gold detailing.
