Voyage d’Hermès Parfum Fragrance Review: A Spicy Unisex Cardamom Cologne For Men & Women

Being absolutely infatuated by Terre d’Hermès , I was keen to see what else the historical French house had to offer. When I discovered that Voyage d’Hermès was a unisex fragrance that I could share with my wife, I was excited to give it a try.

After having used Voyage d’Hermès for a number of months, it was time to give it a full review using the  Fragrance Formula  to see how it fares.

In this review, you will discover Voyage d’Hermès where we explore the following subjects:

Following the success of the 2010 eau de toilette of the same name, Hermès released the parfum edition in 2012. Also created by the in-house nose, Jean-Claude Ellena, the parfum promises an enriched experience with a composition of citrusy aromas, spicy blends as well as herbaceous green notes and precious wood.

Voyage d’Hermès Composition

With a rich floral heart over a woody and musk base, Voyage d’Hermès is a proud member of the Woody Floral Musk olfactive sub-family.

Heart Notes

As the citrus and pepper notes fade, we’re revealed a floral bouquet featured rose, juniper and sweet jasmine. The juniper adds an almost herbaceous note reminiscent of cedar yet the cardamom continues to persist throughout the heart.

Voyage’s Life-Cycle, Wake & Strength

Although deep and heady, Voyage is far from overpowering. The notes cycle through their dry-down with a few transitional notes extending others along the way. As mentioned above, the cardamom is really what makes this fragrance sing and is omnipresent throughout its lifespan.

Although the projection and sillage are both quite tight and stay relatively close to the skin, the longevity is impressive. Although you may want to re-apply after a couple of hours, the fragrance’s performance keeps on giving well after its application.

What Do People Think Of Voyage d’Hermès?

Others also enjoyed the bouquet of spices and woody notes but since the cardamom is firmly fixed in the limelight, it’s the one that receives all the glory. Of course, if you don’t let the smell of cardamom, this isn’t a fragrance that you’ll enjoy!

Being a very deep and sensual fragrance, it was better received by more mature people from their thirties and above. However, it’s a very contemporary if classy blend. Conversely, it came across as a little too prominent for younger people. Nevertheless, it’s a fragrance that both men and women find attractive and this universality is probably the secret to its success.

When To Wear Voyage d’Hermès

Both the time of day and season play large roles in when to successfully wear this fragrance. Firstly, its cardamom and spices aren’t something that you’d wear for winter despite being deep and sensual. In fact, it fares far better during the late spring and summer.

However, it’s probably too heavy and musky for a summer’s day. Instead, it’s the perfect companion for balmy summer nights. Thanks to its paradoxical fresh and warm notes, it complements the heat and offers something that is both unique an alluring.

As for the age range, it’s perfectly wearable for anyone in their late twenties but is probably more suitable for someone who is established. Therefore, it’s a great fragrance for those in their thirties, forties or above.

In terms of occasion, it can be quite versatile. As much as it’s a respectable office fragrance that isn’t overpowering for small workplaces, it’s best reserved for the nighttime. Therefore, whether you’re just going out, staying casual or enjoying your evening, it’s a wonderful companion. We’d even suggest it as a unique alternative for dating!

Finally, Voyage d’Hermès is a strange beast when it comes to the masculine. On paper, its notes are rather masculine and sound like something best worn by men. However, it’s very much a unisex fragrance that can be bought by anyone or even shared by a couple.

Presentation and Value For Money

Nevertheless, it’s visually appealing and looks great when positioned at an angle on your shelf. The parfum distinguishes itself from the eau de toilette by being made from black glass rather than white, which looks almost midnight blue under the light.

Furthermore, there’s no bottle cap and the atomiser can be unscrewed for refilling. Once you’ve run out, there’s no need to buy another bottle but a plain refill, which is slightly cheaper. Speaking of the atomiser, it performs well and provides a burst of thick mist. It’s solid and well-made so doesn’t squirt out like a water gun.

Meanwhile, the packaging is very attractive too. The cardboard features a herringbone texture on the front, top and back with beige sides. An embossed stripe wraps around the cardboard to look like a ribbon whilst “Voyage d’Hermès” is elegantly written in silver text with underscores.

As for the value for money, know that Voyage d’Hermès is a particularly expensive and premium fragrance. Retailing well above $100 for 3.4 Oz (100 ml), it’s quite the investment. However, being an original and well-performing fragrance, it’s worth taking the plunge.

However, you can pick up it for less on Amazon where it’s sold for only $80 . Meanwhile, you can pick it up for $77 through FragranceX !

Closing Thoughts

A very contemporary yet timeless fragrance, Voyage d’Hermès is a unique and tantalising experience. Its spicy and woody themes beautifully showcase the vivid cardamom note, which is unforgettable.

If you’re looking for something that performs well to wear on those summer nights, this is an excellent pick. Furthermore, it’s one that you can share with your partner if she or her has taken a liking to it too!

"A potential contemporary classic. Unique and breathtaking fragrance, its spicy and woody accords are intoxicating with a hearty cardamom theme."

I love the sound of this frag. How would you rate it for dating and night life?

It depends what you mean by “night life”. I think it’s too subtle for night clubs and would quickly become drowned out by other smells. However, it’s a great choice for dating and offers a unique alternative scent for romantic occasions.

All the best,

Hello Carlos, Well, don’t know where to start with, but, went to the nearby mall at my home city (Mumbai, India) looking for something similar on the lines of Davidoff’s CoolWater (DCW) as this one has been my absolute favorite for office wear. I am no enthusiast in terms of EDTs and/or EDPs but started my journey in the world of one’s ownself (care) when 4 years back I was gifted a CalvinKlein CK In2U EDT by one of my friend as a birthday gift and from there on, this journey of self admiration started to say the least (pun intended). CK in2U opened the floodgates towards Davidoff’s CoolWater (as Both of them are Fresh/Aqua based EDTs and after more than a couple of years of trying CK in2U, Davidoff’s CoolWater, Nautica’s Blue (all Fresh/Aqua based) I went on the same tram lines to search for something similar (after reading what similar EDT notes would criss-cross with DCW), Had Bvlgari’s Aqva, Atlantiqve and Marine in mind and then my senses were blown away by a somewhat pricer option that the salesman suggested me to give a try and it was this gem: (not the Parfum version) but the EDT Voyage De’Hermes and it sure did take me on a Voyage De’Cardamom the moment that mist spray touched me. I told him, give me ¾th of an hour and if this EDT matures, beyond Cardamom, you will surely have a new customer (me). And yes, it did marure and I am a proud owner of this,today… 6th March,2021.

That’s a fantastic story, thanks for sharing it!

I love cardamom and oud so this sounds perfect for me! Funny, though, the notes sound more like a winter fragrance rather than something for the summer…

Hi Alex, Yes, the agarwood base features a light oud note but as it’s not particularly heavy, it’s quite refreshing. Although this is great for a winter’s day, it’s even better for a summer’s night! I was surprised too but I’ve owned it since Christmas and I’ve been impressed by its performance in the evening heat. Best, CP

This sounds like a great fragrance to share with the missus!

It is and I keep a bottle on her dresser that we both use!

Sure ,they have something secret in formula on this fragrance. Very nice fragrance but also expensive.

Most perfumers are very secretive about their actual formulae so yes, that’s very true. It’s true that it’s also somewhat pricey but it’s such a great fragrance that I’d argue that it’s worth it!

Hi Charles Philippe. How are you? I like the Edt version more. What can you say about the edt. Which one do you like the most?

Hi Shakhruh, I’m well, thanks. I hope that you are, too.

That’s interesting! I have a preference for the Parfum. I haven’t compared the two in a while but I recall the EDT being much lighter.

Thank you so much for your feedback.If you have money it’s good to have both.Edp is good in the evening, Edt is good in the daytime. Try Edt again, definitely in a smaller view. Can you tell me? have both been reformed over the years?

I’ll bear that in mind and give them both another try! I’m afraid that I don’t know whether it’s been reformulated or not, though.

Never mind. Thank you for that, my friend????????

Sorry that I couldn’t be of more help!

Hi Charles Philippe.Sorry to bother you again.I will never buy perfume from Amazon.com anymore.I saw and bought Voyage Edt at a much cheaper price from amazon.I was looking forward to my favorite perfume.He came I opened it and the smell was completely different. It doesn’t look like the original at all and doesn’t last long. I’ve also read negative reviews of other perfumes. They’ve also written fake ones. Even Voyage D’hermes Parfum. My advice to you is to buy a real original Voyage D’hermes Parfum from Hermes.com, Hermes stores or Sephora. Believe me, you will feel the real difference. Voyage perfume on Hermes.com is $ 155, on Hermes.fr 122 €

Oh, that’s terrible! We quite like FragranceX, which we’ve used many times and delivers the real thing. However, we also add Amazon links as you expect it to be trustworthy! Sorry to hear that you received an inauthentic Hermes!

7 Russia-scented perfumes: Inspired by Winter, Cheburashka, Chekmate and more

The scent of GUM — “Ciel de Gum” by Francis Kurkdjian

French perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, while visiting Moscow, was impressed by the architecture of the legendary Moscow department store on Red Square. In 2013, to mark GUM’s  120th anniversary, he released the “Ciel de Gum” fragrance that’s dedicated to the historical building. According to the main concept, the amber hints are intended to recall the aroma of expensive boutiques; the cinnamon and red pepper chords to evoke the Gastronom No. 1 store; while the woody and floral fragrances tend to immerse the senses in the New Year’s atmosphere of the city’s historic center.

Where to buy: Randewoo , 32,106 rubles ($428) for 70 ml.

The scent of birch sap from Ladanika

Spring, the first green leaves, and birch sap — this is how the creative perfume project, Ladanika, describes the new fragrance from perfumer Elena Markova that was released in March 2021. The composition includes white musk, aldehydes,as well as  tar and grass, which promise to invigorate you with “the life-giving energy of early spring” all year round.

Where to buy: Ladanika , 3,950 rubles ($53) for 15 ml.

The scent of Soviet cartoons from Soyuzmultfilm

The aroma of honey and caramelized milk (think of Winnie the Pooh) and buns with raspberry jam (think of Karlsson-on-the-Roof, the fairy tale by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren).

The watery and earthy aroma with a hint of juniper twigs comes from Hedgehog in the Fog, the cult Soviet cartoon by Yuri Norshtein; while the scent of oranges is inspired by Cheburashka, another popular Soviet cartoon character. They are colognes released by the Soyuzmultfilm studio on the occasion of its 85th anniversary. The fragrances are designed to recreate the atmosphere of a Soviet childhood and the popular cartoons of that era.

Where to buy: Library of Aromas , 1,950 rubles ($26) for 30 ml.

The scent of Siberian winter — “Russian Leather” from Memo Paris

A -50°C winter, a snowy pine forest, a herd of reindeer, and the sun’s winter rays and snowflakes melting on the skin — these are the associations evoked by the “Russian Leather” collection of French perfumery Memo Paris. Mint, rosemary and cedarwood form the basis of this eau de toilette, followed by the fiery notes of tonka bean, patchouli and sage. The fragrance also contains a new chord, which perfumers called “frozen fougère” (“frozen fern”), reminiscent of the winter forests of Siberia.

Where to Buy: Memo Paris , $300 for 75 ml.

The scent of youthful Moscow — Gosha Rubchinskiy and Comme des Garçons

This fragrance from the popular Russian designer and Japanese fashion house, CDG, is based on angelica root and buchu plant extract. Also present are hints of mandarin, chamomile, styrax, vetiver and patchouli. According to its creators, it recalls the smell of “youth and freedom” in Moscow parks, while the bottle, bearing Rubchinskiy’s name in Cyrillic, recalls the design of the cult Soviet perfume, Krasnaya Moskva (Red Moscow).

Where to Buy: DSML E-Shop , £65 ($73) for 100 ml.

The scent of tea — “Russian Tea” from Masque

Summer evening, a campfire, the smell of wild herbs, raspberries and hot black tea from the thermos: the perfume’s Italian creators were inspired by hiking in the Russian forest and hearty get-togethers around the campfire under the starry sky. The composition is based on raspberries, black pepper, mint, black tea, magnolia, as well as birch, leather and incense.

Where to buy: Amazon , $153 for 35 ml.

The scent of a Russian fighter jet — Su-75 Checkmate

Glass, metal, engine and cockpit all form the basis of this perfume that has the scent of the fifth-generation Russian fighter, Checkmate, which was developed by the state corporation Rostec and the Perfumers’ Guild of Russia.

The perfume’s release is timed to coincide with the international premiere of the aircraft’s prototype at the Dubai Airshow 2021. It contains elements of metal alloys, glass and the leather trim of the cockpit, combined with hints of juniper, patchouli and oak moss.

Alas, the perfume is currently available in a limited edition only, and is not freely on sale.
