Christine Nagel, head perfumer at Hermes, emphasizes the significance of meticulous development time, stating, 'This one, I really took my time.' The process of creating a chypre perfume took about a decade, highlighting her dedication and careful curation of ingredients. This fragrance, her first chypre for Hermes since the brand's fragrance launch in 1951, features unique citrus notes from green bergamot oranges of Calabria and floral notes from Madagascar lilies.
Nagel’s affinity for chypre fragrances is evident as she remarks, 'When I arrived, I told myself, One day, you’ll make them a chypre.' Her ambition and creative vision reflect a commitment to blending historical fragrance traditions with modern elements, which reinforces Hermes' legacy in the perfume industry. This chypre’s development not only signifies her expertise in organic chemistry but also her personal connection to the brand’s identity.
