Through the remainder of the 40s, he continued to create for Rochas, with Mousseline, Mouche and La Rose, all now discontinued; and Moustache, a masculine encouraged by his wife\u00a0Th\u00e9r\u00e8se,\u00a0which appeared in 1949. In 1946, he established Art et Parfum, with its laboratory in the Parisian suburb of B\u00e9con les Bruy\u00e8res \u2013 where Guerlain had based their production from 1894.<\/p>\n<p>Diorama, from 1948, was Roudnitska\u2019s first perfume for Dior. Luca Turin, in lamenting the state of the fragrance today, describes the \u2018stupendous original\u2019 as \u2018a sunny orange-peel version of Mitsouko\u2019.\u00a0Eau Fra\u00eeche followed in 1955; and Diorissimo a year later in 1956, significant as a synthetic reconstruction of the scent of lily-of-the-valley, whose extract cannot be obtained naturally. 1966 saw\u00a0Eau Sauvage; and Diorella came in 1972, bearing \u2018all the hallmarks of Roudnitska\u2019s mature style\u2026 a rich, woody-floral accord at once sweet and bracing, very abstract and of no definite sex\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Eau d\u2019Herm\u00e8s came out in 1951, in the middle of Roudnitska\u2019s career. It was his only creation for\u00a0Herm\u00e8s. Promoted initially as a unisex perfume, it is frequently categorised as a masculine owing to its accords of spices and leather notes, and its civet. The fragrance opens boldly with top notes of bergamot and lavender, accompanied from the first by the cumin and cinnamon which distinguish the perfume and persist throughout. It is this accord of spices which has given Eau d\u2019Herm\u00e8s the reputation of smelling somewhat like sweat; joined later by the civet, the fragrance is often described as dirty, sensuous, and animalistic, and divides opinion especially on first encounter.<\/p>\n<p>The heart notes comprise jasmine, sandalwood, birchwood, cedar and vanilla. The drydown is rich, subtle and in my experience long-lasting, with the leather notes and civet prominent. Roudnitska reportedly wanted the fragrance to smell something like the inside of a\u00a0Herm\u00e8s leather bag; while the civet, traditionally obtained from the civet cat\u2019s perineal glands, and described as \u2018powerfully fecal\u2019, is now synthetic.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.culturedarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/dsc_0316.gif\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3254 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.culturedarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/dsc_0316.gif?resize=500%2C333\" alt=\"dsc_0316\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The shape of\u00a0Eau d\u2019Herm\u00e8s bears resemblance with\u00a0Aim\u00e9 Guerlain\u2019s Jicky, which also possesses a bergamot-citrus opening, a jasmine-woody middle, and basenotes of vanilla and civet. Yet the spices of\u00a0Eau d\u2019Herm\u00e8s change the balance of the perfume: in contrast to Jicky\u2019s gradual development,\u00a0Eau d\u2019Herm\u00e8s opens more stridently and more revealingly, with the succeeding notes layered atop one another and less easy to distinguish. Still, the fragrance remains restrained and never overpowering, warm on the skin; and suits any season and any time of day.<\/p>\n<p>Roudnitksa\u2019s perfume fell entirely out of favour until\u00a0Herm\u00e8s began re-marketing it in the early 1990s. Beginning in 1993, commemorative limited editions of the perfume were produced: 500 each year, sold only at Herm\u00e8s stores, and coming in hand-etched crystal bottles. The 1993 edition featured an etched horse and rider; 1994 saw a variation with an etched Pegasus; and by the final run in 2002, the bottle displayed an etched carriage \u2013 all tying in with\u00a0Herm\u00e8s\u2019 equestrian logo. These limited editions sold for as much as $1,000 a time.<b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Since then,\u00a0Eau d\u2019Herm\u00e8s has again fallen into relative obscurity. It is not easy to find today outside of\u00a0Herm\u00e8s stores. Jean-Claude Ellena has been greatly influenced by Roudnitska: his D\u00e9claration, for Cartier, created in 1998, shares\u00a0Eau d\u2019Herm\u00e8s\u2019 citrus opening and pronounced cumin; and Ellena wrote a portrait of Roudnitska in 1999, in which he remarked on the influence of Kant\u2019s aesthetic theory \u2013 elaborated in the first part of Kant\u2019s <em>Critique of Judgement<\/em> \u2013 upon Roudnitska, who in 1976 published his own\u00a0<i>L\u2019Esth\u00e9tique en Question: Introduction \u00e0 une Esth\u00e9tique de l\u2019Odorat<\/i>. Ellena has been the \u2018nose\u2019 of\u00a0Herm\u00e8s, their in-house perfumer, since 2004, creating a host of new perfumes and overseeing the reformulation of some of\u00a0Herm\u00e8s\u2019 older classics. It is his Terre d\u2019Herm\u00e8s, from 2006, with its grapefruit and vetiver, which is typically forwarded by\u00a0Herm\u00e8s when one seeks a masculine fragrance.<\/p>\n<p>Having sought\u00a0Eau d\u2019Herm\u00e8s when living in York but to little avail, I purchased a bottle at the\u00a0Herm\u00e8s store in Amsterdam \u2013 along P.C. Hooftstraat, between the Vondelpark and the Museumplein \u2013 on my first visit to the city, before determining to move here last autumn. A polite manner and pleasant visage secured six samples, four of which are pictured below, all by Ellena: Vanille Galante and Osmanthe Yunnan, from the\u00a0Herm\u00e8ssence collection;\u00a0Terre d\u2019Herm\u00e8s; and\u00a0Eau de Pamplemousse Rose.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.culturedarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/dsc_03391.gif\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3255 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.culturedarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/dsc_03391.gif?resize=500%2C333\" alt=\"dsc_03391\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>________<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Claude Ellena\u2019s \u2018Portrait\u2019 of Roudnitska, in French:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.art-et-parfum.com\/textes\/ellenaus.htm\">http:\/\/www.art-et-parfum.com\/textes\/ellenaus.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Elena Vosnaki\u2019s review of Eau d\u2019Herm\u00e8s\u00a0at Perfume Shrine:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/perfumeshrine.blogspot.nl\/2010\/01\/hermes-eau-dhermes-fragrance-review.html\">http:\/\/perfumeshrine.blogspot.nl\/2010\/01\/hermes-eau-dhermes-fragrance-review.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Turin, L. & Sanchez, T. <em>Perfumes: The A-Z Guide<\/em> (Vicenza; Profile Books, 2009)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eau d\u2019Herm\u00e8s\u00a0is one of Edmond Roudnitska\u2019s lesser known and lesser celebrated masterpieces; sought and treasured in the undergrowth as Femme, for Rochas, and Diorissimo, Eau Sauvage and Diorella, all for Dior, bask in the sun.
