VOYAGE D'HERMÈS Parfum

THE CREATION

In 2011, Jean-Claude Ellena created Voyage d’Hermès Parfum, an intense and generous reinterpretation of the original fragrance. “I moved away from the principle of ‘concentration’ in the formula to focus instead on the intensity of the sensory experience and the breadth of the sillage.”

THE FRAGRANCE NOTES

Woody and amber-scented, Voyage d’Hermès Parfum reveals invigorating juniper berries blended with the milky, sweet character of sandalwood.

THE OBJECT

Designer Philippe Mouquet has created a unique object, inspired by a pocket magnifying glass found by chance whilst out walking. The black glass bottle is adorned with a silver-coloured stirrup, featuring the iconic saddle nail.

ETHICS

The bottle is refilled using the 200 ml Voyage d’Hermès fragrance refill.

THE HERMÈS DETAIL

Ever since Thierry Hermès founded a harness and saddle workshop in Paris in 1837, Hermès has been a craftsman of movement and a companion on journeys. This theme inspires the House’s creations and animates its culture.

‘An invitation to discovery, to encounter, to sharing.’ Jean-Claude Ellena

Nourished by the imagination, Voyage d’Hermès expresses the deep and unique relationship the House has with travel. A play on paradoxes, contrasts and unexpected combinations gives rise to a fresh, musky, familiar yet surprising woody fragrance, balancing vigour and comfort, equally at home on men and women. Philippe Mouquet, a designer for Hermès, has created a nomadic bottle for Voyage d’Hermès, designed for the traveller.
