The story of Hermès is a voyage: Voyage d`Hermes

02/19/10 10:59:54

Since its early beginnings, Hermès has been moving forward, exploring, crossing frontiers and breaking away, by every means and in every way.

It all starts with a man’s footstep. It is on foot that Thierry Hermès came to Paris in 1837, and founded his harness and saddle-making workshop. He was meticulous and honest.

Voyages? He wanted to make them run smoothly.

It all proceeds with a trotting horse. The Hermès workshops served their first customers – man’s most noble conquest – and equipped horses from the most humble to the most refined driving teams.

Voyages? He wanted to make them beautiful.

It all carries on at the gallop… with a few strokes of genius. Émile Hermès, Thierry’s grandson, headed off to Russia by train, and to North America by boat. He came back with a zip fastener, ideas for bags, clothes, luggage items… enough to contribute, with shrewd and subtle details, to the dawn of the age of the automobile. 

Voyages? He wanted to make them practical.

The creator, Jean-Claude Ellena, intended to avoid outlining a portrait of a man or a woman, of a town or a nature spot, of a moment or an era. But to create abstract art. A play on paradoxes. Complementary elements. No, this perfume would not smell of a kind of wood, a flower, a particular raw material, but of the unknown in all its glory.

What is left of you when you are gone? What do you give off when you are here? That is what this perfume is. The mystery and the trace left behind.

The House of Hermes will launch a new fragrance,Voyage d`Hermes, for men and women in April 2010.

Bloody gorgeous packaging; I hope there's something citrusy or fruity to cut through all that musk.
