Barénia
Skin is a scent
Free-spirited elegance. The vitality of unbridled femininity. A stirring on the skin, like a sidestep.
"The Hermès woman is unstoppable. A woman driven by curiosity and real vitality. She is guided by her instincts: her sidesteps are never missteps." - Christine Nagel, Hermès perfumer.
The object
It's just a small step from leather to skin.
The iconic Hermès Collier de Chien bracelet inspires the bottle for a fragrance cast in its own image. When limpid curves of glass meet precious metal.
The Hermès chypre perfume
For Barenia, the House's perfumer, Christine Nagel, has created a chypre composition with woody and sensual notes. Enveloping oakwood and mysterious patchouli intertwine with the delicacy of butterfly lily and an unexpected note of miracle berry. A magnetic essence that only reveals its true self when it comes into contact with the skin.
"A chypre is an instinctively attractive scent, ready to be drawn like a magnet to the skin."
