Hermes Hermessence Santal Massoïa

Hermes launches the new fragrance as a part of its prestigious "poetry of perfumes" collection Hermessence. The fragrance is named Santal Massoïa. The collection included nine unisex fragrances up until now: Ambre Narguile (2004), Vetiver Tonka (2004), Poivre Samarcande (2004), Rose Ikebana (2004), Osmanthe Yunnan (2005), Paprika Brasil (2006), Brin de Regliss (2007), Vanille Galante (2009) and Iris Ukiyoé (2010).

Behind the creation of this fragrance, as well as behind the whole collection, stands the perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena.
