Hermès Hermessence Ambre Narguile

Hermessence Ambre Narguile by Hermès is a Oriental Spicy fragrance for women and men. Hermessence Ambre Narguile was launched in 2004. The nose behind this fragrance is Jean-Claude Ellena. Created in 2004 by Jean-Claude Ellena, Hermessence is a collection of unique fragrances conceived as olfactory poems using perfuming’s most exclusive elements. As sober and intense as Japanese haiku, they reinvent a nature that is as precious as it is unusual, as if rendered by the inspired writing of a composer in search of the new. Enriched each time the perfumer discovers a new country, a language, a culture or simply extraordinary new ingredients, as of today the line consists of eight fragrances, exclusively available in Hermès stores. “Oriental, the Western expression of Eastern fragrances, has a warm, sensual, enveloping, almost carnal smell.

I think being an EDT instead of something denser, makes the scent a lot more pleasurable to get whiffs of in the air and is something beautiful to be discovered rather than something loud and in your face. This is definitely a perfect holiday and winter-scent that is comforting and puts me in a positive and happy place every time I wear this. I would rate Ambre Narguille a 10/10, perfection. I was so excited to try Ambre Narguile. I really like amber fragrances. My daughter gave me a 15ml bottle for Christmas as part of an Hermes sampler. Out of the four I received this is my least favorite. In fact it is disappointing. To my nose it smells like pipe tobacco. I guess that makes sense given the name.
