Cabriole

Cabriole by Hermès, launched in 2022 and composed by Christine Nagel, is a unisex floral built on a spare three-note structure. Honeysuckle opens the composition with a fresh, green-tinged sweetness, while osmanthus in the heart brings its characteristic apricot-like fruitiness and soft yellow-floral depth. Sandalwood in the base adds a creamy, woody anchor that keeps the florals from turning thin. The listed accords—fruity at 100%, white floral at 86%, floral at 77%, woody at 62%, yellow floral at 52%, lactonic at 49%—describe a scent that reads more fruity and creamy than straight bouquet. Collectors who appreciate transparent, well-mannered florals with a smooth sandalwood drydown will find it easy to wear. It suits spring and early summer daytime, office or casual settings, and anyone who wants a polished unisex floral without heavy musk or sweetness. Those seeking a dense, vintage-style osmanthus or a bold statement scent may find it too restrained.

Hermès Cabriole 於 2022 年推出，由 Christine Nagel 調製，屬中性花香調。香調結構極簡：前調金銀花帶來清新帶綠的甜意，中調桂花散發杏桃般的果香與柔和黃花香，基調檀香木則以奶滑木質收尾，令花香不至於單薄。官方列出的主要 accord 為果香 100%、白花 86%、花香 77%、木質 62%、黃花 52%、奶香 49%，整體聞起來更偏向果香與奶滑感，而非傳統濃密花束。此香氣質清透、斯文，適合春夏白天、辦公室或日常場合，也適合想找一支乾淨中性花香、不愛厚重麝香或甜膩感的人。若追求濃郁復古桂花或強烈存在感，或會覺得它過於內斂。
