Description
The story behind this fragrance
Hermessence Vetiver Tonka by Hermès is a Woody Chypre fragrance for women and men. Hermessence Vetiver Tonka was launched in 2004. The nose behind this fragrance is Jean-Claude Ellena. The fragrance features Vetyver, Tonka Bean, Hazelnut, Tobacco, Praline, Caramel, Sandalwood and Lily-of-the-Valley. Created in 2004 by Jean-Claude Ellena, Hermessence is a collection of unique fragrances conceived as olfactory poems using perfuming’s most exclusive elements. As sober and intense as Japanese haiku, they reinvent a nature that is as precious as it is unusual, as if rendered by the inspired writing of a composer in search of the new. Enriched each time the perfumer discovers a new country, a language, a culture or simply extraordinary new ingredients, as of today the line consists of eight fragrances, exclusively available in Hermès stores. Vétiver Tonka: powerful vetiver, smoothed out by velvety hazelnut. A hint of praline is mixed with the sweetness of Tonka beans to soften the earthy, rough effect of the roots. “A tender vetiver, enveloping and warm…”
