THE Creation The house's very first cologne Hermès was created by Françoise Caron in 1979. It was first called Eau de cologne Hermès before being renamed Eau d'orange verte in 1997. Now emblematic, it is distinguished by its lively, green freshness.

THE Object The emblematic lantern bottle is adorned in deep green. On the orange box, a contrasting band echoes the bottle's color.

Conceived as an explosion of citrus notes, orange plays the leading role, with zest and leaves, lemon, mandarin, mint and blackcurrant buds.
