Hermessence Cuir d'Ange Hermès 2014

At the time this fragrance first appeared, I was working in a 5-star luxury hotel, a grande dame of the German hotel industry.
Here I encountered expensive, heavy, light, special and very niche fragrances on a daily basis.
In short, a colorful fragrance portfolio, but almost always with that special something. Fragrances that you never get to smell otherwise.
But one fragrance stood out in particular - I just couldn't place it. A very soft, caressing fragrance that seemed to linger in the guest rooms, even after departure, on the typical Grand Hotel furnishings.
There was nothing harsh or edgy about this fragrance, and at first I didn't know whether I would classify it as a feminine or more masculine scent.
The leather follows discreetly behind, almost as if you were constantly stroking your hand over soft, fresh leather cuttings. In addition, everything has a very sensual note, in my imagination the fragrance was always worn by younger, elegant ladies who spend expensive weekends in a hotel before the next stop in a classy location.
That was my first classification, I didn't have a name/brand for the fragrance until then.
This was to change on my next visit to the Hermès boutique, when the saleswoman gave me a sample of this Hermèssence.
Sprayed onto my skin, I answered the question of who could wear this fragrance myself.
The leather here captivates with elegance and maturity, no matter who wears it.
Pleasing, benevolent and radiating specialness, films immediately run in front of the inner eye, placing this luxurious fragrance in the right ambience.
For me, this Hermèssence reflects the typical DNA of the Hermès brand, because this leather fragrance does not scream, it beguiles and inspires on its very own level.
