The Hermessence Iris Ukiyoe is inspired by a Japanese artistic movement known as ukiyo-e. "I collect prints and have a mental picture of the irises in the works of Hokusai and Hiroshige. I chose to eschew the classic approach to iris by combining it with other, virtually unknown floral scents." Jean-Claude Ellena, perfumer.
The Iris Ukiyoe bottle is showcased by a vibrant iris-purple lacquer on the glass, echoed by the leather cap.
The House's emblematic "lantern" bottle constitutes a unique and timeless signature. Its leather cap with saddle-stitch signature is topped with an engraved Herm�s Clou de Selle.
Apply fragrance to clean skin after showering, targeting pulse points such as wrists and behind the neck for optimal scent diffusion. Use a non-scented moisturizer first to prolong fragrance life. Avoid direct application on clothes and sensitive skin to prevent irritation and preserve the integrity of the scent.
