Hermès Eau de Citron Noir Eau de Cologne 100ml is an unconventional unisex citrus from Hermès' celebrated Cologne collection, composed by in-house perfumer Christine Nagel and launched in 2018. Inspired by Middle Eastern black lime (noomi basra), it pairs sharp lemon and citron with smoky guaiac wood and black tea — a citrus that is bright, dry and intriguingly shadowed.

Who it's for
Best for fragrance wearers who love citrus eaux de cologne but want something more characterful than the usual sweet citrus opener — confident, design-conscious wearers looking for an unusual, dry, smoky-citrus signature. Unisex by design and well suited to warmer weather, daytime and creative-professional contexts.
How to wear it
- Spray generously onto pulse points — wrists, neck and chest — from roughly 15cm away.
- Allow to dry naturally without rubbing the wrists.
- Reapply through the day; the cologne concentration is meant to be refreshed rather than worn sparingly.
- Layer with the matching Eau de Citron Noir body products (where available) to extend the signature.
