A responsible gesture, integral to an object created to last. 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."During a visit to the Forbidden City in Beijing, I was captivated by an exquisite smell that led me by the tip of my nose to the Imperial Palace, where osmanthus bushes were in bloom.
In November, despite their tiny size, the flowers exuded a strong scent of apricot and freesia. I imagined combining these blossoms with a tea from Yunnan, the most beautiful province in China…and the idea for the fragrance was born." Jean-Claude Ellena
