Santal Massoïa

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 14:36:25 +0000

Santal Massoïa’s airy opening is lightly green, with an almost violet effect. The woody-milky combination of massoia (a rare and protected tree that grows in Indonesia) and sandalwood grants the fragrance a fig-tree-like impression. Santal Massoïa also reveals a dulce de leche accord, a resinous note and a few spicy facets. Perfumer: Jean-Claude Ellena.

Eau d'Orange Verte

Tue, 29 Nov 2011 15:45:31 +0000

A toning and sparkling fragrance, Eau d'Orange verte is a basket of citrus fruit in a bottle: oranges in all sizes, shapes and forms (leaves, fruit, blossoms), lemons with their stimulating freshness, cheering mandarins. A minty and fruity accord (papaya and mango) enhances the slightly acid character of the fragrance. A patchouli and oakmoss end note lifts up these light notes and gives more character to the perfume.

Calèche

Mon, 28 Nov 2011 14:49:53 +0000

Calèche is a chypre woody floral composition. The top note is crisp and cheerful, opening onto a middle note of rose of Damascus and May rose emboldened by a synthetic aldehydic note, the famous substance that made of Chanel N°5 so successful.The end note is a blend of so-called chypre nuances: oakmoss, vetiver, cypress, cedar and sandalwood, with a refined topping of iris powder.

Terre d'Hermès

Thu, 24 Nov 2011 13:15:20 +0000

Terre d’Hermès is described as being like ‘a voyage across the elements’. The fragrance blends sparkling citrus accents, mineral notes of flint and waves of plants and spices. A voyage that goes on to unveil the earthy sensuality of wood notes softened with benzoin.

Voyage d’Hermès

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:31:09 +0000

Rather than dreaming up an intoxicatingly exotic scent, Jean-Claude Ellena, Hermès’s house nose, proposes a fresh, musky woody fragrance. So it 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. The scent’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.

Eau de Merveilles

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 14:41:26 +0000

In this magical world, where everything is startling, this particular surprise – a fragrance built upside-down – is majestic. Woodsy-amber accents generally used at the base are pushed into the limelight here. An additional surprise: this is a women’s scent with practically no floral facets whatsoever; it achieves its bewitching effects with several traditionally masculine notes. One last surprise is the harmony of mellow, dry and sparkling accords. There is the whisper of balsamic resins, the crackle of cedar and the sweet-and-savory resonance of gray amber…

Un jardin sur le toit

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 15:11:24 +0000

A fruity-floral composition with a green dimension, the fragrance opens with notes of apple and green grass, plus a peppery effect as well. The heart twines magnolia with a rose tonality. The base reveals waves of damp earth and oak moss (evernia prunastri).

Concentré de Pamplemousse Rose

Mon, 30 May 2011 15:00:55 +0000

Centered on grapefruit, the fragrance pairs the citrus fruit with rose and vetiver. The opening is so sparkling it’s almost spicy; the woodier trail is slightly chypry. The presence of oak moss (evernia prunastri) is also worth noting. Perfumer: Jean-Claude Ellena

UN JARDIN SUR LE NIL

Thu, 28 Oct 2010 13:54:49 +0000

The opening has a surprising note of green mango, like a cross between carrot and tomato stem. In the heart, the grassy-green accents of calamus espouses Nile lotus, with a rosy fragrance reminiscent of hyacinth and peony. The dry down is woodier, with essences of sycamore and frankincense. The whole is fruity-green-woody.
