A Lifelong Signature Fragrance

Barénia by Hermès, the first chypre scent in the French luxury design house’s 187-year history, is the signature of an unstoppable woman.

Christine Nagel, Creative Director of Hermès Perfumes, has designed a sensual composition for Hermès’ very first chypre fragrance.

She has worked tirelessly to construct, sculpt and hone a captivating scent combining the delicate butterfly lily with the surprising miracle berry. Its warm trail of oakwood and its intense patchouli seal the emotion it conveys.

This timeless blend of olfactory counterpoints melts onto the skin, revealing its characterful signature and leaving an unforgettable memory.

A Sensual Name

Barénia is a natural, heritage leather – an Hermès signature. Its fine, supple and highly sensual texture yields softly to the skin on contact.

Barénia leather caresses, accompanies movement, embraces energy and welcomes boldness. It is instinctively attracted to liberated and intrepid souls.

It is a metaphor for the Hermès chypre, which the skin draws in and makes its own forever. It is the symbiosis of body and soul, the signature of an unstoppable woman.

The Essence Of The Collier De Chien

Inspired by real dog collars once produced by Hermès Sellier, the Collier de Chien bracelet is an enduring house classic. A combination of leather and metal, an elegant object with irreverent overtones, this collar was quite literally unleashed and adopted by women in the Roaring Twenties to assert their independence.

The essence of the Collier de Chien – its lines, colours and materials – is frequently revisited. It inspires bags, accessories and objects. And, for the first time, a fragrance bottle.

A Stimulating Object

Designer Philippe Mouquet, a longstanding partner of the house, drew inspiration from the iconic Collier de Chien bracelet to create a bottle of crystal-clear curves and precious metal.

Its elliptical shape, overlaid with a metal plate bearing four contoured studs with domed facets, echoes the line of the bracelet. These heritage codes come together harmoniously to create a powerful piece symbolic of a lifelong signature fragrance.
