Which Hermès perfume is the most classic and has the best scent?

Hermès has several timeless classic perfumes that stand the test of time, and the title of the most classic with the most universally acclaimed scent is jointly held by Terre d’Hermès (the brand’s iconic unisex woody fragrance) and Un Jardin Sur le Nil (the masterpiece of the garden series), with Eau d’Orange Verte (a legendary citrus cologne) and 24 Faubourg (a classic feminine floral-oriental fragrance) as the indispensable classic supplements. These perfumes are not only recognized as the top classics by authoritative fragrance rankings such as Maigoo and Fragrantica, but also loved by global fragrance connoisseurs for their unique olfactory expression, top-tier natural ingredients and profound brand connotation, perfectly interpreting Hermès’ "quiet luxury" in the fragrance field. Among them, Terre d’Hermès is the most representative classic of the brand, and its scent is hailed as "the smell of the earth and time" by the industry, with an irreplaceable status.

Launched in 2006 and crafted by Jean-Claude Ellena, this woody-mineral fragrance is the absolute core classic of Hermès and a perennial top in the global men’s fragrance rankings, and it has become a popular unisex choice with the rise of neutral fragrance trends. It abandons the exaggerated sweet or spicy notes of commercial perfumes and uses 100% natural raw materials to blend grapefruits, pink peppers, geraniums, cedarwood and vetiver, creating a unique mineral note that simulates the rough and warm texture of the earth—fresh and lively at the opening, calm and mellow in the middle note, and long-lasting and profound in the base note. Its scent is not limited by gender or age, and can be worn from youth to maturity, with moderate sillage and 8-10 hours of longevity, suitable for all occasions and seasons. As the most symbolic perfume of Hermès, it has spawned dozens of extended versions such as Parfum and Eau Très Fraîche, and its classic status is unshakable in the luxury fragrance market. Industry reviews call it "a perfume that can represent the essence of Hermès", and its resale value retention rate has long been above 120%, reflecting its enduring appeal.

Created by Jean-Claude Ellena in 2005, this aquatic-fruity fragrance is the originator and most popular work of Hermès’ classic garden series, and is rated as the "most acceptable Hermès perfume" by global consumers. Inspired by the lush scenery of the Nile River, it blends green mango, grapefruit, water lily, lotus and vetiver, with a fresh and layered scent that is neither cloying nor light, like walking through a tropical garden in the early morning—with the fresh and juicy fruity notes at the opening, the soft and low-key floral notes in the middle, and the clean and mellow woody notes in the base. As a unisex eau de toilette, it has a light and elegant sillage and 6-8 hours of longevity, which is especially suitable for daily wear and warm seasons, and is also a classic choice for perfume beginners. It is the best-selling perfume in the Hermès garden series for many years, and is listed as one of the top ten classic Hermès perfumes by Maigoo and other authoritative lists; fragrance critics praise it for its "transportive olfactory beauty", and its resale value retention rate reaches 115%, becoming a classic that spans age and regional preferences.

Born in 1979, this citrus cologne is the longest-standing classic in the Hermès perfume lineup and a benchmark for high-end citrus fragrances in the luxury market. It abandons the sweet citrus notes of ordinary colognes and uses high-quality citrus essential oils to blend bergamot, lemon, orange blossom and mint, with a fresh and slightly bitter scent that is clean and bright, like the cool breeze under an orange tree in summer—refreshing at the opening, with a touch of delicate floral notes in the middle, and a cool and crisp mint and oak note in the base. As a unisex cologne, it has a light sillage and natural longevity, and is the first choice for summer daily wear and fresh fragrance lovers. After more than 40 years of market baptism, it is still a must-have in the Hermès core perfume collection, and is known as the "dopamine fragrance of Hermès" for its vibrant and refreshing scent.

Launched in 1995 and named after Hermès’ Paris flagship store, this floral-oriental fragrance is the classic representative of Hermès’ feminine perfumes, and is rated as the "most elegant Hermès women’s perfume" by Viora London and other international fashion media. Crafted by Maurice Roucel, it blends Tunisian orange blossom, Egyptian jasmine, iris, sandalwood and vanilla, with a rich and layered scent that is elegant and not overly sweet—with the bright and sweet floral and fruity notes at the opening, the luxurious and soft white floral notes in the middle, and the warm and mellow amber and woody notes in the base. It has 7+ hours of longevity and moderate sillage, exuding the unique elegance and confidence of mature women, and is suitable for formal occasions and cool seasons. Its understated and luxurious bottle design is perfectly matched with the scent, and it is a classic choice for Hermès to interpret feminine luxury, with a resale value retention rate of 118%, becoming a timeless classic in the hearts of female fragrance lovers.

In summary, if you want to choose the most iconic classic that represents the core of Hermès, Terre d’Hermès is the unshakable choice, with its unique woody-mineral note becoming the brand’s olfactory symbol; if you pursue the most universal "good scent" with high acceptance, Un Jardin Sur le Nil is the best answer, with its fresh and natural garden scent loved by all ages and genders. And Eau d’Orange Verte and 24 Faubourg are the perfect supplements to Hermès’ classic perfume lineup, representing the brand’s classic creation in citrus cologne and feminine floral fragrance respectively. All these classic perfumes share Hermès’ consistent craftsmanship gene—using top natural raw materials, adhering to artisanal blending, and integrating storytelling into the scent, making them not only perfumes, but also the carrier of Hermès’ super luxury aesthetic.
