<p><em><span style="color: #b9b9b9;"></span></em>I&#39;m not a professional nose, so the best way I can describe<a href="http://www.voyagedhermes.com/en_US/#/film" target="_blank"> Voyage D&#39;Hermes</a> is this: It smells expensive. It smells like leather. In fact, it smells to me like like what I can only imagine an exquisitely made saddle would smell like: Like expensive leather.</p>

<p>In other words, it smells just like a fragrance by Hermes should.</p>

<p>I read the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Deluxe-How-Luxury-Lost-Luster/dp/1594201293">Deluxe: How Luxury Lost its Luster</a> a while back, and I was struck by how Hermes is one of the few truly luxury houses left. If there&#39;s one thing I can&#39;t stand is things that are expensive based on a logo and past reputation. Why should you pay a fortune for something that&#39;s made nearly as cheaply as mass-market goods?</p>

<p>You shouldn&#39;t, is the point.</p>

<p>This fragrance smells better hours after you wear. It&#39;s confident, subtle, and leathery -- in a good way.&#0160;</p>

<span style="color: #8b8b8b;"><span style="color: #8b8b8b;"><em>The people at Hermes sent me
a small sample of this fragrance to try.</em> </span></span><span style="color: #8b8b8b;"><em>I was not compensated for this post. As is my policy, I
accepted the sample without committing to writing about it - either positively or negatively. However, I like the fragrance enough that I&#39;d buy it when my sample runs out. Just so you know. </em></span>
