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.

Poivre Samarcande: burning spice tempered by sweet wood that evokes the peppery, musky smell of oak, a vibrant homage that takes one away to Samarkand, “the must-see stopover between the Western and Eastern worlds, where caravans loaded with spices…”

Ingenious interpretation of understatement. The scent is rather linear, but its subtle trail lasts a long time. Be careful, however. Its strength cannot be increased by spraying more of this scent. I think there are "olfactory blockers" in the scent, so if you spray more, you won't smell the scent at all! Less is more in this case.

All I get is a sort of peppery wood scent. It's okay, but there's not a lot of layering on me and the complexity is lost. For a brief moment, my interest was peaked by something approaching chili or cumin, but it faded down under the peppery wood. Not bad, but not something I would wear.

Drydown is very similar to L´Artisan Timbuktu.

The Sensuous pepper of Poivre Samarcande it gets entirely lost on me, from the smidge of caraway and the green peppercorn faint scent, a smooth and earthy affair, that had to be more dense for beeing really enjoyable. Another Jean-Claude Ellena dissapearing act!
