Voyage d'Hermes - EdT or Parfum, if I can only get one?

I just recently dug out my old sample of Voyage d'Hermes EdT and gave it a whirl on my skin for the first time in a few years. I remembered always liking it, but this time something just clicked perfectly and I'm now borderline obsessed with this one. It's so freaking incredible. My problem is that I live in a country where Hermes is not available in stores, so my only option is ordering online. Since I've been reading everything I can get my hands on about Voyage (the way I always do when a fragrance snatches my fancy this hard), I've seen mention of the Parfum pop up constantly. It sounds very intriguing, but I only have the budget for one of the two. The thing is I've never smelled the Parfum and I have no quick or easy way to obtain a sample of it, not before my obsessive need to own Voyage will make me pull the trigger despite myself (to anyone outside this community this would sound like borderline crazy talk, but I know you guys know what I'm talking about). So my question basically is: if I love -- not like, but just flat-out adore -- the EdT, is the Parfum a safe blind buy for me? If I could get only one, would I be happier with the Parfum down the road, perhaps due to performance aspects or something similar, or does the Parfum sacrifice a significant part of what makes the EdT unique? I realize this is a question that's impossible to answer conclusively, so I'll take all replies with the requisite grains of salt. I do think the discussion would help me a great deal with coming to some conclusion, though. Would love to hear your thoughts.  

I chose the parfum and like it a lot. It's very similar to the edt, maybe a little less bright. If you like the edt you would most likely like the parfum, too.  

I think the parfum is overall better smelling and performing, although I like both versions.  

I'd go with the parfum.  

Ive read that the line has similarities to Angelique sous la Plouis. Do you guys notice any angelica note at all?

Another recommendation in favor of the Parfum - both regarding the actual scent and its performance

Not a fan of either, but the least boring to my nose is the parfum.

SORRY IGNORE POST I MISREAD... Thought it was Terre d'hermes edt vs parfum :lipsrsealed: Can't comment on voyage, from what i remembered both were great but had some preference for the parfum  

For what it's worth, I don't find the two versions hugely dissimilar - the parfum has a bit more presence and lasting power (on me, anyway), and I find the grapefruit note sharper and juicier, but the overall scent profiles are similar enough that I'd be happy with either one. But if you can only afford one, and you already know you love the EdT, I'd just go with that. The parfum isn't going away any time soon, and you can always order a sample or decant online at some point (I'm assuming) if you're still curious.

Do you like rose? That should be how you decide. The two scents are similar, but the Parfum is NOT just a stronger concentration of the original. It's a different scent. I would start with the original if the original is what clicked with you. You can't go wrong by choosing the one you already know you love.  

EDT. I didnt enjoy the "sun tan lotion" feel of the Parfum. I find the EDT to be a nice mid point between Escentric 03 and Kinksi.  

If you live the EdT get the EdT.

Voyage EDP is a legit 10/10 for me. The smell is a refined version of Jardin Nile minus any screechy notes. Discrete sillage but deceptive longevity. I sweat alot at work since its over 100 degrees on the floor but Voyage sails past 10 hours for me and I never go nose blind to it. I try and avoid buying frags again when they run out, there's too many scents I haven't worn to do re-runs. This is the exception, I'm on my third bottle. The trick in my experience is this frag hates exposed skin. I don't do neck or arms. Five sprays on my chest, under shirt goes on immediately. I'm not going to pretend to understand why but for some reason I get fantastic longevity that way. When this bottle goes, I'll get a 4th. EDT is bright and more effervescent but has atrocious performance that I can't wring more than 2 hrs out of. I don't believe in carrying decants or reapplying a frag so I ditched it.  

I'd say go for the one you know you love over the one you hope you'll like even more. (And that goes not only for perfume, but for a lot of other things in life as well)  

I have both and as a coincidence I was wearing Parfum yesterday. I find the EDT better, with brilliant opening. Underrated classy scent. Maybe a karma carried by office-friendly scents. If you already like the EDT, get it first. Later on but the EDP that’s very close to it.  

Pure Parfum for the win

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:

• Fragrance Overview
• Blend & Fragrance Strength
• Tested 3rd Party Feedback
• When To Wear The Cologne
• Presentation & Value

You can use the links above to jump ahead or just scroll down to read it all!

• Fragrance: Voyage d’Hermès
• Concentration: Parfum
• Introduction: 2012
• Olfactive Fragrance Family: Woody Floral Musk
• Price On Amazon: $80 for 100 ml [ Buy Now ]
• Price On FragranceX:  From $77 [ Buy Now ]

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!

En savoir plus

Depuis ses débuts au 19e siècle la maison de sellerie et de maroquinerie Hermès incarne le voyage, les destinations proches ou lointaines, le changement mais aussi un certain d’esprit d’évasion. C’est s’inspirant de ces voyages que Jean-Claude Ellena nous a propulsé en 2010 vers ses voyages à lui, des voyages parfumés, des voyages éphémères mais qui savent perdurer dans le temps par la main du maître qui exécute pour nous un Voyage d’Hermès que l’on n’oubliera pas.

Quand Jean-Claude Ellena emmène hommes et femmes dans un Voyage Hermès rêvé…

Bien sûr, la maison Hermès avait déjà proposé des flacons mixtes par l’intermédiaire de son Eau d’Hermès ou bien encore de ses colognes puissantes et magnifiques telles l’Eau d’Orange Verte. Mais cette fois Jean-Claude Ellena va plus loin en offrant pour la première fois chez Hermès un parfum mixte, aérien il est vrai mais pourtant si présent, le beau et si délicat Voyage.

Voyage ne sera donc pas seulement un parfum d’évasion, il sera aussi un parfum de peau, une fragrance qui s’ouvrira en fonction de la peau de chacun, presque comme si chacun avait un Voyage d’Hermès tatoué en son corps.

« Ni Monsieur ni Madame... mais pas androgyne pour autant. Comme une ligne claire mais trompeuse, sous laquelle se cacherait en réalité, quand on a un peu laissé reposer le parfum sur la peau, des volutes de tel ou tel ingrédient. Bref, un parfum qui fait des détours et voyage lui aussi sur votre épiderme... »  L’Express à propos de Voyage d’Hermès.

De plus Voyage représente à merveille la quintessence du style si particulier de Jean-Claude Ellena. Entre ombres et lumières, entre présence discrète et peinture olfactive impressionniste, Voyage nous étonne et nous transporte. Pourtant il est silence et calme là où d’autres se font tempétueux, sucrés et gourmands, et c’est là la magie du parfumeur. Voyage est et sera une nouvelle fois un parfum intemporel comme c’est si bien les proposer depuis 1951 la griffe Hermès.

Voyage d’Hermès et sa note de thé envoutante si « ellenesque »

Si Voyage d’Hermès est unique il en est pas moins, comme nous l’avons déjà remarqué, très représentatif du style si particulier de compostions de Jean-Claude Ellena. Outre ses abstractions olfactives, il nous fait penser à de nombreuses autres œuvres de ce peintre impressionniste.

Ainsi la fameuse note thé de ce Voyage n’est pas ans référence à une des compostions précédentes du parfumeur l’Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert de Bulgari qui mit en valeur pour la première fois une note de thé dans un parfum. Quant à l’hédione du cœur de Voyage, elle est aussi une signature apposée du parfumeur impressionniste tant il l’utilise avec délice dans de nombreux parfums tels Déclaration de Cartier.

Toutefois si Voyage est très symbolique des compostions de ce grand parfumeur qu’est Jean-Claude Ellena il n’est pas moins unique. Son départ s’offre comme un bain d’agrumes toniques et vivifiants tout juste réchauffés par quelques épices. Le cœur quant à lui hésite à basculer entre des notes florales, des notes fraiches d’hédione ou bien encore des notes vertes. Enfin l’iso E super et les muscs blancs se délivreront en profondeurs selon les Voyages de chacun.

« Le parfum répond bien à l’intention annoncée : il peut transporter n’importe-où, comme si l’imagination de celui ou celle qui s’en pare était incitée à y projeter sa propre destination. »  Grain de Musc pour Voyage d’Hermès.

Recharge Eau de Parfum 200ml

LA CRÉATION En 2011, Jean-Claude Ellena signe Voyage d’Hermès Parfum, une réinterprétation intense et généreuse de la fragrance originelle. « Je me suis éloigné du principe de “concentration” de la formule pour m’intéresser à l’intensité des perceptions et à l’amplitude du sillage. » LES NOTES OLFACTIVES Boisé et ambré, le parfum révèle une baie de genièvre revigorante mariée au caractère lacté et doux du bois de santal. L’ÉTHIQUE La recharge de parfum Voyage d’Hermès permet de recharger le flacon 35 ml. Un geste responsable, indissociable d’un objet créé pour durer. LE DÉTAIL HERMÈS Depuis la fondation par Thierry Hermès d’une manufacture de harnais et de selles à Paris en 1837, Hermès est l’artisan du mouvement et accompagne le voyage. Ce thème inspire la création et anime la culture de la maison. « Une invitation à la découverte, à la rencontre, au partage. » Jean-Claude Ellena Nourri d’imaginaire, Voyage d’Hermès exprime la relation profonde et originale que la maison entretient avec le voyage. Jeux de paradoxes, de compléments et d’alliances inédites servent le propos d’un boisé frais, musqué, familier et surprenant, entre élan et réconfort, aussi à l’aise au masculin qu’au féminin. Philippe Mouquet, designer pour Hermès, a créé pour Voyage d’Hermès un flacon-objet nomade, pensé pour le voyage et messager du mouvement.
