OUD ALEZAN
Notes on the latest chapter of Hermessence
This year marks twenty years of Hermessence—the very special collection of sensory fragrances created by French house Hermès. And with such a significant milestone also comes the release of the newest chapter in the world of Hermessence: Oud Alezan.
This latest expression of the Hermès identity in olfactory form, Oud Alezan is abundant with a line of languorous woody accords—milky woods like sandalwood and the carnal essence of agar wood. Which, when mixed with rose, lends a mysterious veil of sensuality.
There is an extraordinary sensory quality that comes from blending oud with rose. As the House explains, ‘[t]he affinity between rose and oud is equal and mutual: neither ever dominates nor rides out alone.’
Warm and familiar, yet captivatingly unexpected, Oud Alezan is housed in the emblematic lantern bottle with a saddle stitched leather cap. It strikes a poetic balance that is bound to broaden the imagination.
