Eau de Basilic Pourpre by Hermès is a unisex Eau de Cologne that spotlights purple basil—aromatic, green, and sunlit—brightened with crisp bergamot and a lively geranium accent.

Fresh and airy, it wears like a clean herbal-citrus splash: green bergamot adds sparkle up top, basil brings a deep, leafy freshness through the heart, and the finish turns subtly warm with patchouli and gentle spice. It’s an easy choice for warm weather, daytime wear, and anyone who loves modern “green” colognes.

Bottle Description: The iconic Hermès “lantern” bottle in a vibrant luminous green, topped with a rounded black cap; the orange box is finished with a contrasting green band that echoes the juice color.

At Perfumes LA, we recommend it for spring and summer days, post-shower freshness, and anyone who wants a crisp green aromatic that stays refined.
