The HermÉs Barénia Eau de Parfum rewards the wearer with warmth, clarity and poise: understated, deliberate and unmistakably assured. Perfumer Christine Nagel has created her first chypre perfume for HermÉs: a sensual fragrance boasting woody notes of an unforgettable elegance. Barenia is a skin perfume, revealing a duality of strength and softness. The composition draws on lily, patchouli, miracle berry and oak, and wears with an easy, self-assured balance. HermÉs is an easy place to start if the house is new to you, and a familiar favourite if it is not. Elegant, uncomplicated, and made to become a habit.

Key features

An eau de parfum concentration, which carries a higher proportion of fragrance oil for a deeper, rounder character on the skin.
Built around notes of lily, patchouli, miracle berry and oak.
Sits in the chypre family with a floral accent, so it feels familiar from the very first spray.
Expect roughly six to eight hours of wear, projecting confidently for the first hour before settling into a close, warm trail.
An ideal choice for evening wear and special occasions, and particularly at home in autumn and winter.

How to use

Spray onto clean, moisturised skin, as fragrance holds noticeably longer on hydrated skin.
Apply two or three sprays to the pulse points: the wrists, the base of the throat and behind the ears.
Let the opening settle on its own rather than rubbing your wrists together, which breaks up the top notes.
Refresh with a single spray later in the day, and keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and heat to protect the composition.
