Hermès
France · Founded 1837
“The quietest luxury in perfumery.”
Hermès is a leather-goods house first and a fragrance house second, but its perfumery division — led by in-house perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena from 2004 to 2016 and Christine Nagel thereafter — has produced some of the most respected compositions in designer perfumery. The Hermessence line and the Terre d'Hermès family are the benchmarks for 'refined' masculine fragrance.
