Amazone (2017 re-launch)
by Hermès
Amazone (2017 re-launch) is a refined, translucent aromatic green fragrance with a focus on creamy narcissus, crisp cassis, galbanum, and dry vetiver. It opens with dewy, slightly tart green notes and radiant cassis, delivering a fresh but restrained impression that feels more like a quiet fog than a bold statement. The heart reveals a smooth, velvety narcissus that evokes a soft, powdery creaminess, balanced by the herbal sharpness of galbanum and a faint hint of red berries. As it dries, the scent becomes transparent and airy, with a soft vetiver base adding depth without weight. The scent has an old-world elegance—unpretentious, understated, and subtly sensual—imparting a quiet sophistication rather than noticeable sillage or longevity. It is best worn in warm weather and feels most at home during spring and summer, particularly for daytime use.
