Hermes’ Hermessence Collection

I had a few friends staying with me in the Hamptons the other weekend and one of them brought along Ambre Narguile eau de toilette from the Hermessence Collection from Hermes. It smells absolutely divine! It’s so divine in fact that I didn’t mind that she completely OD’d on it to the point where even the area in front of the guest room she was staying in smelled like the fragrance! The Hermessence Collection consists of 8 uni-sex fragrances which you can buy in 3.3 fl oz bottles for $235 each or for $145 you can get a set of four .5 fl oz bottles (pictured below). I’m a huge fan of Caleche for women and Eau d’Orange Verte for men, but this collection blows both of those out of the water. Aside from Ambre Narguile, Vanille Galante and – surprisingly – Paprika Brasil, were my favorite, but you can’t really go wrong with any of them, especially when you factor in the chic packaging:-)

Speaking of chic packaging, I’m completely dying for an Hermes fragrance leather case ($575) – talk about an ultimate luxury!
