Hermès is a French luxury goods house founded in 1837 by Thierry Hermès. Originally focused on equestrian accessories, the company has evolved over time into leather handbags, scarves, accessories, fashion and perfumes.

For Hermès, the adventure in perfumery began in 1951 with Eau d'Hermès, composed by Edmond Roudnitska, one of the greatest creative minds in the world of perfumery.

Ten years later, the birth of Calèche, the house's first women's perfume, confirmed Hermès' involvement in the craft of perfume creation. Since then, fragrance after fragrance has followed, each signed by the great names of perfume design.

The arrival of Jean-Claude Ellena in 2004 as in-house perfumer for Hermès was a decisive step. An artist of olfactory emotion, an aesthete who transcends scale and material, he shares Hermès' sense of craftsmanship and expertise.
