welcome to the le labo club! No doubt the bottling experience is something really unique.
yup i truely agree... experience is nothing we can never put a price on it
finally 1H14 ended, damn busy with the closing... finally can breathe edi... Tone, nice le labo
last weekend was at kl for meeting and managed to squeeze a bit wee time to sniff the elusive hermessence line
Hermessence. Sense, essence, essential. The essence of Hermes and the very soul of perfume. A collection of olfactory poems, with sobriety and intensity, which freely explore new facets of emotion. Nature reinvented, unexpected and poetic. Unique and surprising associations of the most noble elements of perfumery.
Jean-Claude Ellena, perfumer to the house of Hermes, has created this collection of fragrances for both men and women which touch the heart and speak directly to the senses.in other word, u will have to be a fan of minimalist art work by JCE, he is really a masterclass perfumer.. i fell in love with his touch after i gotten bigarade concentree. ya i know kinda bored but then do let me continue a few lines before i go to the next agenda...
Even though Hermes gave JCE take the lead and no new Hermessence launch unless JCE give an 'ok' signal but it is still abit constrain compared to what have he created for Frederic Malle... BC can last on me though out the day, and my female colleagues and friends say i smell nice... Hermessence.. spoiler ahead... well i like his approach of "man, u smell nice" rather than "yo, ur perfume smell nice"
so i went to Hermes in Gardens where i gotten my first bel ami, the SA recognize me lol... and i bite the bullet went for the travel gift set consist of 4x15ml spray.. (a very smart marketing move).. and Hermes is very generous with their samples... when i say generous.. it is generous
look on how they pay attention to small detail... on the travel set
the spray vial is in an individual pouch... the sample is 4ml vial... more on that later
after i strip them naked and do a group photo...
close up on my SOTD
one word can sums up their presentation... luxury...
after a few days dosing myself with them, i realise that JCE wanna portrait a discreet, luxury scent to a group of consumers who is
i) ppl who dont care abt the price, just wan the orange bag or
ii) JCE fan.. well i am the later
yes the ones that i choose are: Osmanthe Yunnan, Iris Ukiyoe, Santal Massoia, Epice Marine, as for samples: Vanille Galante, brin de reglisse, amber narguile... no rose??? well they ran out of stock, if not my first choice would be Rose Ikebana lol
do explore this line only if and only if longevity is not ur concern... notice the word "dosing" i mention just now... these babies have problem go past the 5th hr, if u lucky 6th hour
but the scent quality.. impeccable.
This line is perfect for Malaysia climate, light, airy, transparent, wont offend, compliment getter, unique.. Eventually the four will be FBW in my collection... i look past the longevity issues and i can wear 2-3 frags a day which is pretty good lol... i know it is kinda long... i will put up individual review of the scent later but i can summary:
Osmanthe Yunnan - Sweet Apricot Tea
Epice Marine - Salty sea breeze at coast beside pier on an early morning
Santal Massoia - milky, creamy sandalwood
Iris Ukiyoe - Iris petal water with orange blossom
i think i better stop here... update later thanks for spending time reading such long essay
