Best Herbal Fragrances

What are herbal fragrances and what do they smell like? Used for centuries in perfumes, they are refreshing, invigorating and transport you to an herb garden where basil, thyme, lavender, mint and geranium grow wild. The best herbal fragrances have natural and botanical scents.

Best Herbal Fragrances: Classic

Guerlain Jicky

This OG herbal fragrance was created by Mr. Aime Guerlain in 1889. It smells like fresh ferns (French for Fougère) and is loved by perfume connoisseurs.

Caron Pour Un Homme

Pour Un Homme is a timeless Fougère reinterpreted from the original 1934 eau de cologne with emphasis on rosemary, lavender, and bergamot. Sensual vanilla and lavender add to the sexy musk at the base. The name says “homme” but women adore it.

Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin

Aspen by Coty

Leave the herb garden for the ski slopes and snowy peaks. Fresh mountain air, juniper and hints of mint take you there. This is how you want your bedsheets to smell as they dry outdoors. Adored by men and women.

Hermes Jardin Sur La Toit

Jardin Sur La Toit is a fruity take on herbal fragrances. Inspired by Hermes’ Paris roof top garden, apple and pear at the opening are offset by rosemary which adds its woody- peppery aroma to sheer rose and fragrant magnolia. Jardin Sur La Toit smells soft, fresh and very French.
