Fragrance Description:

HERMES Bel Ami EDT, is a refined spicy woody leather fragrance that opens with a mix of citrus, cardamom, and salty cumin. It smells like polished suede and dry wood, offering an airy, spicy elegance retaining a hint of balsamic styrax warmth on the dry down.

• Identifying An Early Version: The "shaker cups" were the vintage style formulas. However this version of the re-worked formula in the early 2000's has the most positive critical acclaim. I would recommend versions produced prior to 2014 before birch tar was removed from the formula.
