Nagel takes the baton from Ellena at Hermès with this scarlet bottle. I paid bankruptcy prices for two weeks just to get it. It opens with an atypical fruit, very minimalist. Although I’m not sure about its unisex label, it has an exotic feminine side that it wears with ease. It’s floral and fruity but discreet; the rhubarb gives it acidity and smells like synthetic peach bubblegum with a warm, sophisticated moss. It’s beautiful but generic, and its longevity is poor, like Eau de Pamplemousse Rose. I think Hermès fails in its unisex minimalism. I wear it at night or reapply it throughout the day. Four seasons. Bottle 10, Scent 9, Longevity 5.
Starts with an acidic touch that then softens. While both Ellena and Nagel seem minimalist, they are entirely different worlds: the first is subtle, like an etching with provocative voids; the second is pure minimalism without nuances.
Eau de Rhubarbe Ecarlate 2nd review. Update: The best of this fragrance that demands generous application comes in the dry down, which becomes slightly powdery with a firm presence during the first 3 hours, to have a long skin trail with very pleasant awakenings of a fine and deep fruity rhubarb. I have verified that this fragrance is particularly susceptible to pHs, as for some strange reason it lasts very little on me, but on my mother it is still perceptible with certain intensity after 12 hours.
This is a different fragrance; it has a mix of sweet and bitter smells that makes it interesting, as it is striking at first sniff. If anyone is thinking of rhubarb cakes, forget it, as it is a freshly pulled vegetal rhubarb. The opening is a bit overwhelming and even spicy but lasts little, and afterwards in the dry down there is no evolution. As for the sillage, it is good, but the duration (it should always be tested on each skin, as we know, things of pH) on my skin was one hour. My conclusion is that while it caught my attention, I think it lacks that point of exquisite and distinguished elegance that other creations from the house present, and if we analyse it from the quality/price point of view, I believe it is an excessive expense for what it offers.
I don’t know what Rhubarbe Ecarlate has, but I loved it at first sniff; it has that component that attracts me, I felt it differently, very pleasant, and with a desire to smell more and more. Moreover, it was a saving sniff since I had worn two very sweet perfumes in a row and this came to save me with its I-don’t-know-what that I notice is special. I came back again and yes, it has that very special little scent; I didn’t know rhubarb had such a special aroma. But the duration was lower, not as I expected from the Hermès house currently regarding my skin, but considering the price it holds. On my skin it didn’t last long, perhaps others can manage it longer. But it is delicious to smell. I love it.
I must clarify that yesterday I wore three sprays, one of this, another of Jardin Li, and another of the one that smelled the most, Rose Amazone. I mention this for possible interference, but the reality is that with those quantities I could smell it for 7 hours or more. My perception is that this is the one that smelled the least, but there it was, even though it is supposedly EDC. It aims to recreate the duality of rhubarb and, in my judgment, it achieves it: it starts very vegetal and somewhat bitter and gradually changes to something sweeter, always maintaining a point of freshness. It is very airy and minimalist, but in my judgment of a quality (damn word we use without knowing what it means, haha) that very few houses, especially designers, offer. I speak of perceived quality lacking the ability to concretise the objective one, but I perceive naturalness and accords different from the mega-worn ones by other brands.
I liked it, first of all because it is pleasant, soft, and comforting, and then because it reminded me of the smell of a class in my first year of university, where some girl must have worn a similar perfume. It is fresh and simple, but at the same time warm and with a certain intention. It constantly unfolds a vegetal sensation with floral and powdery nuances. It wears very well, it is a peculiar scent, that characteristic note, slightly sweet, somewhat bitter, and fleshy, which reminds me of radishes, I suppose it must be the rhubarb, very well framed by a friendly and clean atmosphere. To be an Eau de Hermès, it’s not bad for its duration and its projection is just right to be delicate but perceptible at a short distance. The main problem I see is that, in my opinion, it results in being completely feminine. Perhaps it is that musk with flowers or the absence of heavier notes, but the truth is I have felt a bit uncomfortable in this regard. Despite everything, I would love to smell like a woman wearing it. I recommend trying it, as it is pretty, very natural, and escapes the trend of this line to disappear after ten minutes of application.
Happy to test these wonders based on natural essences that reproduce nature perfectly. Far from mass trends, this Hermès focuses on the earth and its fruits: rhubarb as the protagonist, with a sweet-and-sour, vegetal, edible, and unique scent. Red berries occupy the fruity heart, giving it a feminine twist (even though it’s unisex), and a softened finish by the musk. Huge quality; it could be niche. I like the beginning a lot, although the heart transports me to a feminine fragrance. Unisex, versatile, and for any season.
Happy to be able to test these little wonders of perfumery based on natural essences that reproduce nature perfectly. Far from strident mass trends, this Hermès focuses on the earth and its fruits: rhubarb, the main protagonist of the opening with its sweet-sour, vegetal, edible, sweet-citrus, and unique smell. Red berries occupy a fruity heart that makes it a feminine turn (although it is unisex) and a softened finish by the musk. Huge quality, it could be niche, easily. I like its opening very much but not so much its heart, as it transports me to a feminine fragrance. Unisex, versatile, and for any season.
I had never heard of rhubarb before, nor even knew it existed. This gives me the opportunity not to fall into the error of thinking it smells like strawberry. Come on, what does a strawberry smell like? Well, this starts strange and familiar at the same time. It’s a curious blend with a prominent rose. It’s green, a rose you pull without scissors from the bush, pulling so hard on the stem that it bleeds sap onto your hand and wrist. It’s a mix of very green rose with a pink and bitter grapefruit, slightly unripe. Everything is effervescent, as if it carried pepper, dancing and playing tickle on your neck, nose, and almost your eyes. The first half-hour is very strong on me. I like it, but with 4 sprays, if not outdoors, it overwhelms me. It lasts about 45-60 minutes with a soapy quality: run away from this, don’t even try it. It’s a bitter, citrus-sour, and green soap; tremendously vegetal, as floral as an almost ammonia-like rose. After letting go of my confused perception, I have to say that almost as much the overwhelm it causes me as the attraction it awakens. It repels me for a moment, then changes my opinion in two minutes and I feel that curiosity and masochism that a novel drug can awaken. Perhaps it all boils down to this: what was novel to me, something that hadn’t happened in years. After the first hour of this aroma that beats me up, moving between love and hate, everything calms down and turns into a clean, pretty, correct musk, something fruity and almost generic. And I say almost because suddenly the rhubarb appears to remind you that, even if you’re in a slump, you like this. Like a dealer doing clienteling. Important: surprise, at least for me, considerable trail for an hour and a half, a couple of long hours being a close-to-skin scent. I’m reconsidering the veto I placed on Ms Nagel. Probably unjustified, and based on childish comparisons with her godfather. So many nuances and sensations in a cologne (minimal?) have much merit. I wouldn’t know how to rate this strange and addictive thing, which when I’m not using it, for now, I remember more by sensations than by scent.
I’d never heard of rhubarb or seen it before, which saves me from thinking it smells like strawberry. What I perceive is a strange yet familiar blend: a green rose, plucked from the bush and bleeding sap, mixed with a pink and bitter grapefruit. It’s effervescent, as if it has pepper, dancing and tickling my neck. The first half-hour is very strong; I like it, but four sprays overwhelm me if I’m not outdoors. It lasts 45-60 minutes with a soapy quality. It’s a bitter, citrus-sour, and vegetal soap, floral like an almost ammoniacal rose. At first, it repels me, but within two minutes, it attracts me like a novel drug. After the first hour, it calms down and becomes a clean, pretty, fruity musk, almost generic, until the rhubarb reminds me that I love this. Surprise: it has considerable sillage for an hour and a half. I’m reconsidering my veto on Nagel. So many nuances in an eau de cologne deserve respect. It’s addictive, and I remember it more for sensations than for the scent itself.
I tested it on a blotter. The opening was very interesting and I was delighted by the instalment promotion. However, as it dried, it gave me the same impression as Kenzo Jungle Elephant: a sweet, green, and creamy scent that turned out to be intolerable. It makes me feel something between disgust and distaste. I realise it’s just something particular to me, as it doesn’t smell bad at all, but that type of sweetness doesn’t work for me. I imagine it must be a delight on other skins. The specialist salesperson told me that Rhubarbe is beetroot, so they must have been informed during training. The aroma has a bit of a beetroot flavour, but without the earthy undertone of the tuber. It’s like beetroot boiled for a very long time; only its sweetness survives. I just read Demopop’s review and, after knowing the perfume, I understand everything they say. What a curious perfume… I wish I had liked it.
Bought it because I had a sudden craving and snagged it super cheap here, considering the original price is outrageous. How beautiful! Smells of rose and grapefruit, and on my skin it’s not sweet at all, but super fresh. I’m becoming more and more of a fan of the Hermès house.
So pleasant and soft; its scent evokes freshly made quince, peach, or apple compotes or purees, or like chewing gum. Ideal for cold climates, an out-of-this-world scent that is nothing heavy. Perhaps its only flaw is that it doesn’t last long.
For me, this Rhubarbe Écarlate, along with Mandarine Ambree, are the best eaux in this collection, which, as I love them all… But the longevity of some is a joke. Yet the scents of each and every one are special, harmonious, and transportive… It’s evident.
An exotic, minimalist fragrance with a very natural construction. Unisex with a feminine tendency due to the fruity notes; subtly sweet aroma. In terms of quality and originality, it could be considered niche. Scent: 9 Originality: 9.6 Versatility: 8.5 Season: versatile daytime Age: over 30 Quality: 9.7 Price: 7.5 Sillage: 8 Longevity: 7 (Eau de Cologne) Design: 8 Overall rating: 8.5 Main notes: rhubarb Emotions: tropical summer
What I liked most was its dry-down; the musk with the fruity notes (rhubarb predominant, embraced by the citrus sweetness of red berries) is a beauty. It’s excellent for summer. The only flaw is the longevity: after an hour, it leaves little trace. It’s a pity that a high-end Hermès doesn’t have more longevity and the size could be larger.

I love this fragrance! It’s pure nature. It smells vegetal, simple, beautiful. Minimalist? I don’t know, ‘uncomplicated’ is what comes to mind. I only wear it at home for two reasons. One, the less important one: its longevity (if it lasted at least two hours longer, it would be glorious). Two, and this is the most relevant: it detoxifies me from street smells. Call me crazy, I probably am. But it happens to me with Cabotine too. After days of wearing sweet, gourmand, vanilla, or foreign scents, I feel my sense of smell is invaded and I NEED to use this. That clean, bitter, musky vegetal rhubarb, that scent of stems, natural red, green… it brings me immediate relief and satisfaction. It must never be missing from my collection ❤️
How much I love this fragrance! It’s pure nature. It smells vegetal, simple, and beautiful. Minimalist? I don’t know; ‘undisputed’ or ‘uncomplicated’ sounds better to me. I only wear it at home for two reasons: first, its longevity (if it lasted two hours more, it would be glorious); second, it detoxifies me from street smells. Like with Cabotine, when I use sweet or other people’s perfumes and feel my olfactory senses invaded, I NEED this clean, bitter, musky, vegetal rhubarb, stems and all, natural red. It generates immediate relief and satisfaction. It can never be missing.
I’m a huge Hermes fan; I love all their perfumes, true works of art. With this one, I’ve had a major letdown. At first sniff, it smells lovely right after spraying. But it lasts less than a body splash or mist, or nothing at all. Absolutely nothing. It’s useless. A real shame. The aroma was decent, but even a supermarket cologne would last longer
This fragrance is a beauty. It feels juicy, acidic, bitter, with a touch of sweetness. I find it very refreshing, like when it’s hot and gusts of wind blow by, leaving you feeling comfortable. It’s the classic situation where you want to smell your wrist over and over. Unfortunately, its longevity is very short. While it’s perfect for reapplication, it’s not economical. A delicious luxury.
Absolutely stunned by all the good reviews. The scent is fine, though it doesn’t say much to me, but it doesn’t last more than half an hour on my skin. Super disappointing
Surprised by all the good reviews of this perfume. The scent is good, although it doesn’t say much to me, but it doesn’t last more than half an hour on my skin. Super disappointing.
I spotted it in a local perfumery for £29 without a box, presumably old stock, and I just couldn’t resist. It’s very pleasant, unisex but leaning feminine at times. Sweet but not overly so, because suddenly a bitter note appears, anchoring it firmly on the male-female spectrum. After an hour it’s skin-scented with a soft aroma that becomes more noticeable after eight hours. It reminds me of a late spring breeze. Still, I don’t think I’d pay its regular price
As they say round here… it smells nice but lasts five minutes on the skin
Smells nice and feminine, perfect for hot weather. On my skin it starts with a sour citrus note (I think it’s rhubarb, though I’ve never heard of that in real life). It lingers slowly, blending into a berry sweetness, leaving a fruity and watery trail. It’s that typical shampoo scent—very feminine and ideal for daytime summer wear. Being light, it works well in the office, though the longevity is disappointing: only four hours on me. Pleasant: 6/10 Interesting: 4/10 Versatile: 6/10 Original: 5/10
The opening is brilliant and I love it; it would be great if the entire development were like that. As it dries, it becomes pure red fruits, an absolute cleanliness, but with a feminine touch. It is a very good aroma; you can tell it is well-made and has quality. The performance is worthy of an EDT but behaves like a cologne due to how refreshing, citrusy, and almost drinkable it becomes 😅. A very good Hermès cologne.
This fragrance was a before and after in my olfactory journey. The entire collection of Hermès colognes stands out for the naturalness, realism, freshness, and simplicity they project. Although all are wonderful, Eau de Rhubarbe Écarlate smells like something I had never tried before. It is not citrusy, but it is very clean, slightly sweet, soapy, and sensual. It is relaxing and evocative, probably more for personal enjoyment than to please others, as it is very discreet. I would buy it a thousand times; being unisex, anyone in the family can use it. The performance is not good, but you cannot ask for projection from a cologne. It does not last more than thirty minutes, but it persists as a second skin for hours. I would buy it even if it lasted five minutes because it brings me happiness. Sometimes the simple is the most effective: one seeks the holy grail and realises that less is more. Thank you for having me come across this aroma.

Of all Hermès eaux, this is my favourite. Citron Noir is another matter, but… why must they last so little? By the hour, you can hardly smell it, and it is super expensive, very expensive for the performance it gives. Even a normal deodorant or 4711 lasts longer. It is a vegetal, sweet, and cheerful aroma with lots of grace, but that’s all. Neither the lovely scent nor anything else compensates for the poor price-to-longevity ratio. It’s not a scam; it’s an armed robbery.
I LOVE IT. The only thing that doesn’t quite take my fancy is that at the beginning, during the opening and first few hours, there is a base note that I don’t like. It seems the rhubarb is too strong and doesn’t convince me. After a while, the red berries take centre stage, and that is when I fall in love. At this point, it is incredible, super fresh with a touch of sweetness that is extremely balanced. Fresher than sweet. Incredible; if I didn’t feel that weird note lurking underneath at the start, it would be perfect. I would like to try it on skin and see what happens with that note, as I tested it on blotting paper. Update: I tried it on skin and fell in love for summer; you can smell the quality. It’s a pity it lasts only about 6 hours, but it convinced me of everything that didn’t quite convince me before.
Scarlet rhubarb prepared to be bitten into, it releases a glucose juice that is a drug. It has a nostalgic point of past teenage colognes, like Cacharel’s Promesse. Very connected to red fruits of that youth. The intense freshness and bitterness of the rhubarb contrast with a sparkling, cheerful, and luminous fruity sweetness. It’s the natural sweetness of realistic and utopian vegetation. A tender scent with the spark of red fruits. The sweet-bitter contrast of the rhubarb defines its personality, and Hermès captures it perfectly.
Scarlet Rhubarb is ready to make an impression, featuring a glucose juice that is almost drug-like. It has an evocative, even nostalgic, point reminiscent of teenage colognes from the past that were jewels like Promesse by Cacharel or Double Je by Eau Jeune. Fragrances closely linked to red fruits, which at that time were associated with youth. The intense freshness and bitterness of the rhubarb contrast with a sparkling, soft, precious, cheerful, and luminous fruity sweetness. It is that natural sweetness of a vegetation that is both realistic and utopian. A natural and tender aroma with the cosy spark of red fruits. The contrast between the sweet and bitter rhubarb defines its great personality, and Hermès certainly captures it.
I like the scent, but… it reminds me of Sedal shampoo and that takes away from its merit.
I bought it blind and what a delicious scent: between fruity and medicinal, like a dew. It feels zero synthetic, ideal for summer, fresh and unisex. The only downside is the longevity; if it fades after two hours, it disappoints me greatly, considering it’s not a cheap cologne.
I fell in love at first sniff. I smelled it before diving into the world of perfumes and convinced my partner to buy it for me. I see it as unisex now, though with a feminine tint. It has nothing to do with the fruity shampoo people say; to me, it smells aquatic and mineral. On the skin, it reminds me of artificial oranges, like an orange caramel; its acidity and bitterness make it addictive. The only drawback is the longevity (especially given the price), so I keep a decant to reapply at four o’clock. It feels very clean and I can’t imagine anyone disliking it.
I already own three Hermès fragrances, and this one is pure joy in a bottle. The opening is fresh, green, and mineral with red berries that wake you up instantly; sparkling and juicy. As the longevity is short, I’ve devised a hack: I mix it with Peach Delulu (which smells like rooibos infusion), and magic happens: Delulu gives it body and extends the wear, while Rhubarbe keeps its crisp edge. Together they form an aromatic cocktail, a vitamin for the skin, cheerful and perfect for hot days.
Green and delicious, invigorating! Reminded me of Nina Ricci’s Belle. It doesn’t last long, but the next day in the decant it still leaves a subtle trail of roses.
