Hermès Amazone

THE CREATION
A symbol of freedom-loving, modern femininity, Amazone was created in 1974 by perfumer Maurice Maurin. This floral, green fragrance harmony is inspired by the legendary horsewomen who, according to legend, once ruled the shores of the Black Sea.

THE FRAGRANCE NOTES
In the floral, green fragrance of Eau de Toilette Amazone, the powdery notes of blackcurrant bud are spiritedly balanced with delicate rose notes and milky sandalwood notes.

THE OBJECT
The bottle is inspired by the lanterns of horse-drawn carriages of yesteryear and the black lid is reminiscent of the shape of a riding helmet. The fragrance's affiliation with the Parfums Fondateurs collection is recognisable by the label on the back, which features a motif by Philippe Dumas.

THE PARFUMS-FONDATEURS COLLECTION
The Parfums-Fondateurs collection draws its inspiration from the heritage of the House of Hermès. Each creation encapsulates the imaginative world of Hermès in a name, a fragrance, a colour. Over the years, Hermès has written a new chapter in its history with original, expressive fragrances, born from encounters with unique perfumers.

Amazon alludes to the mythical warrior women who, according to legend, ruled the shores of the Black Sea, and today symbolises the modern, independent woman. Composed in 1974 by Maurice Maurin around the basic motif of blackcurrant bud, the fragrance is a green, floral harmony in which daffodil, narcissus, galbanum, red fruits and vetiver resonate.
