THE CREATIONIn 2011, Jean-Claude Ellena created Voyage d’Hermès Parfum, an intense and generous reinterpretation of the original fragrance. I moved away from the idea of ‘concentrating’ the formula to focus on the intensity of perceptions and the magnitude of the fragrance trail.OLFACTORY NOTESWith a woody and amber character, Voyage d’Hermès Parfum reveals invigorating juniper berry blended with sweet and milky sandalwood.THE OBJECTDesigner Philippe Mouquet created a unique object inspired by a pocket magnifying glass found by chance. The black glass bottle is encased in a silver-coloured stirrup and decorated with the emblematic saddle nail.THE HERMÈS DETAILHermès has been an artisan of movement and a valued companion for travellers ever since Thierry Hermès founded a harness and saddlery business in Paris in 1837. This theme underpins the house’s creativity and inspires its culture.An invitation to discover, meet and share. Jean-Claude EllenaA novel that feeds on the imagination, Voyage d’Hermès expresses the long-standing and unusual relationship between the house and travel. An interplay of paradoxes, complements and unexpected alliances support the premise of woody notes that are fresh yet musky, familiar yet surprising, hovering between impulsive and comforting, equally at ease with men as with women. Hermès designer Philippe Mouquet created a travel object bottle for Voyage d’Hermès, designed for journeys and symbolic of movement.
