Hermès

What the Hermès range is made of

Across the 46 Hermès fragrances Zenyra has mapped, the materials that recur most are musk (24%), cedar (20%), vetiver (20%). No single note dominates, which is itself a choice — this is a house that works across a palette rather than around a signature material.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads safer than the catalogue as a whole: risk averages 0.22 against 0.34 across all mapped fragrances. That is a wide margin, and it is the clearest thing the data says about this house.

One idea, or many

Hermès covers ground. The average spread across its range is 0.162 — wide enough that liking one Hermès fragrance tells you comparatively little about the rest. Houses like this reward exploring the catalogue rather than trusting the name.

The median release year across the mapped range is 2006.
