Hermessence Iris Ukiyoé Hermès

The fragrance features Iris, African Orange Flower, Mandarin Orange and Rose. The house of Hermes adds another interesting fragrance to their prestigious collection Hermessence - Iris Ukiyoé . Hermessence is a collection of unique fragrances conceived as olfactory poems using most exclusive elements in perfumery. These fragrances are just like Japanese haiku, they reinvent nature that is as precious as it is unusual. Iris Ukiyoé joins the collection in the beginning of November 2010. Its perfumer is Jean Claude Ellena, who has also created other eight fragrances of this collection. He envisaged this perfume to be created around the central ingredient – purple iris flower. This floral bouquet is full of nuances and paradoxes, created or rose, orange blossom and mandarin. The word Ukiyoé is a Japanese word denoting “images of the floating world”, and reflects admiration of perfumer, collector and lover of Japanese prints in artistic expression that finds inspiration in nature. The latest fragrance of the Hermessence collection can be recognized by purple colour of its cap and leather case. Its flacon itself is see-through and made of glass. The fragrance arrives on the market as100 ml EDT.
