Founded in 1837 by Thierry Hermès in Paris, France, Hermès has a long history of more than 180 years since its early beginnings as a manufacturer of high-end harness, and its business has expanded from harness to bags, accessories, silk scarves, perfumes, etc. The relationship between Hermès and perfume began in the middle of the last century, when Émile Hermès, the third generation of the Hermès family, met perfumer Edmond Roudnitska, which gave birth to the Eau d'Hermès water, the foundation of all Hermès fragrances.
In the 50 years since Eau d'Hermès, Hermès has launched a number of perfume products, all by different perfumers, such as Guy Robert, Maurice Roucel, Olivia Giacobetti and other well-known perfumers. It wasn't until 2004 that Hermès finally had its own perfumer, Jean-Claude Ellena, who brought the most prosperous 12 years to Hermès perfumery. Jean-Claude Ellena embraced minimalism, and his Hermès fragrances have a subtle, natural character, especially in the Un Jardin garden collection.
In 2003, Jean-Claude Ellena created her first fragrance for Hermès, Un Jardin en Méditerranée, which was inspired by the private garden of Leila Merchari, the creative director of Hermès display, in Tunisia. The creation of the Mediterranean Garden made Hermès fragrances famous, leading directly to Jean-Claude Ellena becoming the exclusive perfumer of the Maison. In the 12 years that followed, Jean-Claude Ellena launched four more garden fragrances, including Nile Garden, Garden After the Rain, Roof Garden and Mr. Lee's Garden, but with Jean-Claude Ellena's departure, this classic collection may come to an end.
Hermessence Colletion Collection belongs to Hermès's boutique salon series, positioned at the high-end, the whole series is only 100mL specifications, the price is more than 2000 yuan, and it is only sold in stores, and it is not sold at ordinary counters.
