Happy those who could listen to the perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena to tell the scents according to Hermes. In the house olfactory library, there are the singular poems Hermessences, the new Gardens and Colognes and the novels, declined in beautiful stories such as Calèche, Crew or Land of Hermes. The new opus Day of Hermes illuminates the feminine:
I wanted to give to feel the armfuls of flowers, that each one put there those whom it wants, feels what it wants to feel.
He then collects a thousand, dawn and twilight, fields and bouquets, then coats them with caressing balsams. The charm is there, the elegance is rare, the brightness is evident. To shelter him, Pierre Hardy draws his first bottle. In this luxurious glass object, with pure lines but soft shoulders, the fragrance is revealed in a suspended drop. At the top of grace and refinement, Day of Hermes is a classic in power.

Daring, it was necessary to create a new chypre, sublime olfactory family a little forgotten but returned in force since. And also to the perfumer Christine Nagel to reinvent it with modernity, associating with the rose of May and the patchouli a nectar of blackcurrant tasty and attractive. Great idea also to coat the whole of addictive vanilla, a blonde amber wood agreement and silky musks, for a subtle trail, warm, comfortable and endearing. Sweetness and intensity are thus cleverly reconciled. Even the bottle has wit, under its apparent simplicity. From its purified lines to the shape of its cork, this obvious elegance is signed Armani. One could also evoke the choice of the muse, the masterful Cate Blanchett. But what definitely convinced the majority of journalists of the jury, it is also the definition of perfume according to Giorgio Armani:
Sì is my homage to modern femininity, an irresistible mixture of grace, strength and independence.
A definition of the woman MC finally. To this we say "Sì".

Marc Jacobs is having fun with Honey! He cheerfully chews perfume, cheerfully diverts the codes of his fashion, and it works. Dot's bottle is recognizable, but it seems even more playful, juvenile and radiant adorned with his new sunny coat. His name, which is also an emotional term, is charming and well found. The dotted print is twisted by ultra-yellow stripes and black, such as a parade bee. If the creation is high in color, charm and cheerfulness, the chic is not forgotten. It is recognizable by sophisticated details such as the beaded body of the butterflies or the gold ring of its collar. The fragrance, composed by Annie Buzantian and Ann Gottlieb, is also happily letting go. It celebrates the gluttony of a melting pear and a peach nectar, lit by an armful of orange blossoms and then escorted by a creamy vanilla, soft woods and honey to devour the skin. From object to perfume, everything is an antidote to gloom.
