HERMÈS FRAGRANCES – HERMESSENCE AN ORIENTAL DREAM

Established in 2004, the exclusive Hermessence collection expresses the essence of Hermès in fragrance.

An object of sensory and essential creation, each Hermessence is a unique and precious encounter
between two materials that the perfumer weaves together with elegance, strength and virtuosity, to elicit astonishment.
Each Hermessence, in its own way, opens up the imagination and seeks unprecedented poetic balance,  where the here is tinged with the elsewhere, the elsewhere with the here.

The house’s emblematic lantern bottle embodies a unique and timeless imprint. Its leather cap with saddle stitch signature seals the close encounter with the bold aesthete.

An oriental dream

Existing as much in the mind as it does on the map, the Orient is a land of exquisite olfactory riches.

Each of these creations draws on nature’s infinite repertoire to find powerful inspirations that nourish the imagination,

such as amber, precious balms and the sensory essences of oud and sandalwood.

Within the Hermessence collection, these accords remind us of the magic of fragrance,

which, when liberated from geography and codes, has the rare ability to erase borders and expand a space.

Agar Ébène

An antique trunk opens, releasing sensual emanations of agarwood, which are in turn enfolded in notes of balsam fir.

Warm, woody and gently evocative of the scent of pine needles, this note veils the skin in mystery and sensuality.

Vétiver Tonka

The ancient, rough and earthy scent of vetiver is unexpectedly reinvented by the velvety softness of the delectable tonka bean.

As if it were casting a spell, the tonka bean has the power to infuse the smoky, woody roots from Indonesia with an irresistibly addictive and contemporary note.

Santal Massoïa

A delicious combination of two milky woods: sandalwood and massoia enrich each other on contact with hints of resin and dried fruits, dulce de leche and flowers.

This dialogue between two enveloping wood essences gently whispers its astonishing, unexpected bouquet onto the skin.

Ambre Narguilé

This oriental poem elegantly combines mystical amber with toasted sesame seeds, borne on a cloud of sensual swirls of smoke from a narguile pipe.

The voluptuous indulgence of honey and spices gradually asserts the compelling softness of its enveloping texture, calling to mind luxurious fabrics from an Oriental fantasy.
