Information from the brandProduct description
Product code: 46740701
An allusion to Guy de Maupassant’s eponymous novel, Bel Ami eau de toilette celebrates the authenticity of leather. This composition created in 1986 by perfumer Jean-Louis Sieuzac interprets this material with equal proportions of opulence and character.
A leathery, woody fragrance, Bel Ami eau de toilette is a confident and bold encounter between bewitching patchouli, rich leather and sensual cistus ladanifer.
The bottle, inspired by the lanterns of horse-drawn carriages, has a black cap reminiscent of a riding hat. The back label is illustrated with a design by Philippe Dumas, indicating that it belongs to the Parfums-Fondateurs collection.
The Parfums-Fondateurs Collection: The Parfums-Fondateurs collection draws inspiration from the house’s heritage. Each THE CREATION encapsulates Hermès’ imaginary world in a name, a fragrance and a colour. Over the years, Hermès has pioneered a bold style of perfumery, resulting from encounters with exceptional perfumers.
Referring to Guy de Maupassant’s eponymous novel, Bel Ami celebrates leather in its most authentic expression. This chypre fragrance, dreamt up by Jean-Louis Sieuzac in 1986, interprets the material with opulence and character. It weaves an intrigue almost worthy of a detective novel. Written with extraordinary sensuality, the style is classic and elegant.
