Hermes Barenia was launched in 2024. Created by Christine Nagel, it has notes of miracle berry, bergamot, white ginger lily, patchouli, akigalawood and oak. Hermes Barenia is an EDP, eau de parfum.
From the brand - "Perfumer Christine Nagel has created her first chypre perfume for Hermès: a sensual fragrance boasting woody notes of an unforgettable elegance. Barénia is a skin perfume, revealing a duality of strength and softness. Expressing all the facets of an instinctive, captivating woman with a free-spirited outlook."
Fragrantica - "A nice modern Fruity/ Chyprotchouli scent, in the lobe of LV Coeur Battant and Chypre Mojo. That type of scents works differently on different skin types. Although tends to be feminine, I see some men can use it easily."
Fragrantica - "This is really lovely. When I first sprayed it I found it a little overpowering, after 10 minutes it settled beautifully. Classic chypre vibes. Delightful. I’m glad I have it in my collection."
Fragrantica - "Barenia is like a perfumed time machine to my nose; from the bottle to the scent, there is something deeply and comfortingly nostalgic about it...it feels cosy, but quite sexy and alluring all at the same time and I can picture someone walking around Bath or Edinburgh during the depths of autumn and early winter in a cloud of this."
Fragrantica - "Had the sample on for an hour and I'm getting Angel edp plus miller harris air d'rien BOTH of which I love so....hmmmm very interested to see how it goes."
