Eau De Basilic Pourpre

Eau De Basilic Pourpre, a Fresh Green Herbal Cologne

Eau de Basilic Pourpre is a fresh, herbal Hermès cologne. Our version keeps that feel, opening with green bergamot before a purple basil and geranium heart settles over soft woods and musk.

The Story Behind the Scent

Hermès built Eau de Basilic Pourpre around the peppery, aromatic smell of purple basil, fresh and green. The idea was crisp, refined herbal freshness.

That green freshness is its appeal. The bergamot keeps it bright, the basil and geranium make it aromatic, and the soft woods ground it. Our interpretation follows that same fresh path.
