Blue Narcissus Water: Ode to Narcissus by Jean-Claude Ellena
Also, it is a return to the sources that the Hermès house offers us through the development of a collection called Les Colognes. Each of the juices making up this blend is always eagerly awaited by the public. Also, the latest Eau de Néroli Doré is no exception to the rule and its orange blossom-based flavor has already won over the public.
The Les Colognes d'Hermès collection
More than 30 years ago, Françoise Caron invented a perfume considered today as one of Hermès bestsellers.: Green Orange Water. This fresh essence echoed the famous Colognes of yesteryear, juices which for Françoise Caron are synonymous with "simple scent" while specifying that "simplicity does not mean lack of personality". Very inspired by this iconic juice from the house of Hermès, Jean-Claude Ellena decided to create an entire collection derived from this first fragrant opus. He then chose to name his assortment Les Colognes d'Hermès. This is how the Pink Grapefruit Water, the White Gentian Water and the Blue Narcissus Water followed one another. Each year, two new fragrances enrich this collection to the delight of fans of the house. Also, in this continuity, Hermès created Eau de Néroli Doré.
Orange blossom in the center of Eau de Néroli Doré
Jean-Claude Ellena explains its composition as follows: “While we usually put very little neroli in perfumes, I put it in abundance, as I liked, as never before. “Indeed, this perfumer particularly likes orange blossom. In addition, it is a raw material that he began to understand very early in his career as a perfumer. This is how he decided to sublimate it in the form of this new fresh and floral fragrance. This juice is intended for both men and women. It begins with a fresh citrus cocktail dominated, in this case, by bitter orange. Then, it is in the heart of this fragrance that neroli takes its place. Neroli is the name given to the essential oil obtained from the distillation of orange blossom. Here, he releases a scent that is at once floral, rich, citrusy, zesty and suave. Finally, as if to give a little spice and personality to this set, it is one of the most prestigious ingredients in the world that completes this composition. Eau de Néroli Doré contains saffron, a real red gold with a vibrant and spicy character. The whole is particularly vibrant with liveliness while being very generous.
