No doubt, the lovers of Jean-Claude Ellena’s Hermessence series will be delighted to hear that the rumours of the new scent being added to the collection are true. Hermès is expecting to have a new fragrance this October. Although the representative could not confirm the exact composition, some sources such as parfum-echecs refer to it as a soft floral leather.
Moreover, Hermès confirmed that the house is releasing Parfum des Merveilles this fall (September in France). The fragrance will be an extrait de parfum version of Eau des Merveilles and will be available in a refillable 1/4oz bottle, like other Hermès extrait de parfum. It is playing up the bitter orange and ambergris accord of Eau des Merveilles with rich notes of cognac and candied fruit.

Sisonne: Dear V, I hope that my post will show only once, now 😉 Paris boutique won´t ship any samples at all – I already ask & they told me they don´t have samples of the Hermessence fragrances. Really sad 🙁 August 24, 2005 at 11:47am
BoisdeJasmin: Dear C, I hope that you will get a chance to try them. They are very unique fragrances. I just recently bought a set of four, which is a great way to discover them. Perhaps, Paris boutique will ship samples to you? August 24, 2005 at 11:05am
BoisdeJasmin: R, neither can I! If it is going to be leather, even better. August 24, 2005 at 11:06am
BoisdeJasmin: Fenice, I agree–they are amazing fragrances. I cannot wait to see what the new Hermessence is going to be like. August 24, 2005 at 11:08am
BoisdeJasmin: Oh, that is too bad. New York boutique is so generous with them. Paris boutiques really vary in terms of sample giving, as my experience revealed. August 24, 2005 at 11:53am
