Eau de gentiane blanche, Eau de Cologne
THE CREATION
Eau de gentiane blanche was created in 2009 by perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena. An interpretation that revisits the theme of freshness with spirit as well as delicacy.
OLFACTORY NOTES
A musky citrus fragrance, Eau de gentiane blanche cologne is based on bitter gentian, powdery iris and elegant musks.
THE OBJECT
The iconic lantern bottle is adorned with a gray-green hue. On the orange box, a vividly contrasting band recalls the color of the bottle.
THE HERMÈS COLOGNES COLLECTION
The Hermès Colognes collection offers a playground that is as infinite as it is masterly for exploring the sensory nature of materials. It brings immediate and abundant pleasure that unifies beyond genres, fashions, ages or seasons.
“A counterpoint to tradition.” Jean-Claude Ellena
Written by Jean-Claude Ellena as an interpretation to act as a counterpoint to cologne style, Eau de gentiane blanche revisits the theme of freshness with spirit as well as delicacy. Complex and sophisticated gentian reveals its different facets – sometimes bitter, sometimes smooth – in an elegant vapour of white musks that achieve sweetness without facile sugariness, giving the gentian a completely original olfactory counterpoint.
