Only Hermès could have come up with so much evidence and elegance in one object: besides, this is what has always made the house what it is, in every area. The year of travel comes with a fragrance by Jean-Claude Ellena, who has put every one of his desires for discovery into it, with as many surprises as memories of elsewhere, so the men and women who choose it become intoxicated on all the distant places from which we never come back intact. Voyage d’Hermès is a rich, woody, musky fragrance hidden in a bottle (refillable) as sleek as it is intelligent as it pivots out from an aluminum shell that protects it from bumping. A deodorant and shower gel will come out of the Eau de toilette line in April 2010.
