Created in 2004 by Jean-Claude Ellena, Hermessence is a collection of unique fragrances conceived as olfactory poems using perfuming’s most exclusive elements. As sober and intense as Japanese haiku, they reinvent a nature that is as precious as it is unusual, as if rendered by the inspired writing of a composer in search of the new.

Enriched each time the perfumer discovers a new country, a language, a culture or simply extraordinary new ingredients, as of today the line consists of eight fragrances, exclusively available in Hermès stores.

Osmanthe Yunnan: conceived after a visit to the Forbidden City of Beijing, this is a silky alchemy of osmanthus petals and Chinese tea whose flowers release facets of freesia and dried apricot.The delicate aromas of tea “lead us by the nose to the Imperial Palace...” Hermessence Osmanthe Yunnan was launched in 2005.

I sampled two bottle of it from the Hermes stores, the saleslady is very nice~

I absolutely love this perfume! The sweetness of it is very special, guess that's the apricot? it's not sweet in the sense of sugar-coated fruity banality!

However, the price is a tad bit too expensive for me to spray guilt-free lol

This is gorgeous. Light citrus, black tea, and osmanthus - which smells quite a bit like dried apricots. I'm trailing faint whispers of apricot-tea everywhere I go. Ethereal.

However, Hermessences are way way too expensive for me to be able to buy a big bottle and spritz with abandon, the way one needs to spritz in order to trail even faint whispers. (I used nearly all of a 1 ml dabber vial, and I NEVER do that.) So, as lovely as this is, I won't be purchasing.

Although the opening of Osmanthe Yunnan is a bit sharp -- a sort of apricot scalpel -- the scent soon morphs into warmer, more comforting territory, with an overall effect of water dappled with sunlight. Wear this fragrance when you want something to hug close to your skin and shield you from the cruel, cruel world.

Smells like Tangerine tea with apricot jam. Delicious and light.
