Two Scents: Le Monde d’Hermès

Entering the doors of an Hermès boutique is always like entering a workshop from another era. The smell of leather from hand bags, leather goods and the obligatory saddle, remind the observer that these objects were not made in a factory, but crafted, shaped and hand-stitched in an atelier. Smell, perhaps the most sentimental of senses, is another area where Hermès excels. Drawing seekers down winding and divergent paths, the fragrances of Hermès are inspired by earthy elements, exotic spices and enchanting backstories.

One traditional scent for those who love the musky smell of cedar, reminiscent of an afternoon hike through a West Coast forest of mossy cedar trees, is Hermès' Cedre Sambac eau de toilette. Recommended for those who want a fragrance to pair with earthy tones, Cedre Sambac will draw you into a world enchanted with the rich and living air breathed out by a forest over centuries.

For the more adventurous, Hermès' new eau de toilette, Poivre Samarcande is a striking combination of oak tones with the punch of peppers. At first whiff, this fresh eau de toilette lingers in the the nose with the gentle pungency of hot chilli peppers, then melds into its woody undertones. Ideal for expressing your wilder side, this unique fragrance is bound to become a future Hermès classic.
