Voyage d'Hermès

For this Voyage Eau de Parfum, the quest for the unknown becomes more about strength than freshness, and amber notes have come to dethrone the fresh citrus notes. A spicy and woody Voyage is offered to us, men and women alike, of course!

The strength of an amber Voyage Parfum for a distinguished eau de parfum

With Voyage, Jean-Claude Ellena wanted to translate into contrasting scents the lightness of spirit in the face of discovery, blended with the strength of departure. For this new Voyage, which opens a second chapter two years after a dazzling sales “departure” in perfumery, Jean-Claude Ellena chose to take us into a more powerful olfactory universe.

Voyage le Parfum offers an olfactory picture in which one can admire the same landscape as Voyage, but the relief is denser, more pronounced. To draw a parallel with photography, one could speak of a new depth of field, according to Jean-Claude Ellena on Voyage Parfum. Thus the perspectives of this picture are meant to be even stronger, to offer an even more intoxicating journey of the senses.

As for the communication, Hermès keeps the magnificent advertisement for Voyage in which the galloping horse goes to meet the majestic bird. An ultra-aesthetic advertisement that diffuses the distinguished scents of this Voyage Eau de Parfum through minds already enchanted by a first opus.

Voyage Parfum, where citrus notes give way to the amber signature

Of course, one will be pleased to rediscover the originality of the stirrup-shaped bottle of Voyage for this new scented destination. For Voyage Le Parfum, however, the magnificent playful object created by Philippe Mouquet takes on more distinguished black and steel tones to highlight the powerful juice.

From the top notes, dynamic notes of lemon are discovered. But for this new Voyage they quickly take on tones of juniper berries and cardamom, giving Voyage Le Parfum an immediate takeoff toward torrid heat. Yet the green note and the delicate note of rose recall the lightness of its predecessor. This lasts only for a while, for as the depths approach, Voyage Le Parfum carries us toward brilliant sensuality. There, one encounters exotic amber woods and intense musks that overwhelm with animalic sweetness.

Voyage le Parfum delights in telling of those moments when the mind sets off on adventure, in conquest of new worlds. The fragrance, which its creator wanted to be more comfortable and warm than Voyage, likewise plays on contrasts, but in a far more intense way than in the first opus. I deliberately leave gaps, blanks in the fragrances, so that everyone can add their own imagination to them, confides Jean-Claude Ellena; with Voyage le Parfum it is up to us to imagine the rest…
