Hermes 'Voyage d'Hermes' Deodorant Spray 150ml
designer: Hermes
Since he became Hermès’s in-house perfumer, Jean-Claude Ellena has had carte blanche… even if the card in question bears a name, the house specifies. This time, it’s ‘Voyage’. Travel has been anchored in the roots of the house’s DNA ever since its creation in 1837 by Thierry Hermès. Arriving in Paris, Thierry Hermès opened a saddle-maker’s workshop in order to make travel safer. Over the generations, the house developed handbags and luggage… keeping travel at the heart of their traditions and evolutions. For this fragrance, Voyage d’Hermès, Jean-Claude Ellena didn’t want to paint the portrait of a man or a woman, a city or a region. He was aiming more for an abstract-art effect, playing with paradoxes so that everyone would recognize themselves, and be able to travel freely, within it…
The Fagrance
Rather than dreaming up an intoxicatingly exotic scent, Jean-Claude Ellena, Hermès’s house nose, proposes a fresh, musky woody fragrance. So Voyage d'Hermes represents more of a voyage of the mind, an intellectualized vision of travel. The fragrance’s opening, both citrusy and spicy, blends lemony notes with spicier ones reminiscent of cardamom. The transparent floral heart highlights some of the perfumer’s favorite notes: scents of green tea and hedione. Voyage d'Hermes's soft, woody signature pairs white woods and musks. Fans of Jean-Claude Ellena’s scents won’t be disappointed by this fragrance for him or her. |
