"A promise of sensuality. The desire to forge a liquid gold that recalls the richness of the unguents of yesteryear. A gentle alchemy of iris and musks." Christine Nagel
Creation: For the Hermessence Musc Pallida, Christine Nagel imagined a sensual encounter between Iris Pallida, a precious material seen as the gold of the perfumery world, and caressing musk. Just as gold is shaped on contact with heat, so iris emerges with a supple elegance on contact with the musk. Having expressed Musc Pallida as both an Essence and a Crème de Parfum, Christine Nagel explores a new sensory dimension with this Eau de Parfum.
Olfactory notes: Musc Pallida Eau de Parfum is musky and sensual, evoking the trace of a caress of powdery Iris Pallida as it emerges on contact with warm musk. A Hermessence suitable for both men and women.
Object: The bottle is highlighted by an orange-yellow lacquer on the bottom of the glass. The ivory-coloured Swift leather cap is top-stitched with an orange-yellow saddle stitch.
The Hermès detail: The house’s emblematic “lantern” bottle constitutes a unique and timeless signature. Its leather cap with saddle-stitch signature is topped with an engraved Hermès saddle nail.
Ethics: The 100ml Hermessence bottles can be replenished using the 200 ml refill, sold separately.
Collection des Hermessences: The Hermessence collection is an emblematic collection, unveiling the essence of Hermès and the soul of fragrance, expressed with unique poetry.
