THE CREATION Hermès perfumer Christine NaGel created Eau de rhubarbe ecarlate in 2016. An unexpected interpretation of the Hermès Cologne, it revisits the surprising freshness of a herbaceous plant: rhubarb. OLFACTORY NOTES A fruity citrus fragrance, Eau de rhubarbe ecarlate Cologne expresses the freshness of crisp rhubarb and tangy lantana, mingled with elegant musk notes. THE OBJECT The iconic lantern bottle is adorned with a scarlet hue. On the orange box, a vividly contrasting band recalls the color of the bottle. THE HERMÈS COLOGNES COLLECTION The Hermès Colognes collection offers a playground that is as infinite as it is masterly for exploring the sensory nature of materials. It brings immediate and abundant pleasure that unifies beyond genres, fashions, ages or seasons. Bottle with removable pump. Bottle with removable pump. "I’ve always loved the duality of rhubarb. A double duality: visual and olfactory. The green colour metamorphoses into red. Starting acidic and crisp, its smell becomes smooth and velvety." Christine NaGel With Eau de rhubarbe écarlate, Christine NaGel created her first cologne for Hermès. Unprecedented and bold, more vegetal than citrus, it gives us the crisp, acidic freshness of rhubarb made velvet-smooth with white musks.
