Jean-Claude Ellena, the master perfumer behind Equipage Geranium by Hermès, reimagined the classic masculine fragrance from the brand’s Les Classiques collection in 2015. This Woody Aromatic scent captures a balance between freshness and warmth, with spicy accords and geranium at its core. The composition opens with an invigorating blend of rose and mint, leading into a heart that includes herbal notes, before settling into a powdery and woody base anchored by sandalwood.

Jean-Claude Ellena
Founding perfumer · 104 fragrances · French
As a disciple and close friend of the legendary Edmond Roudnitska (creator of “Le Parfum de Thérèse”), Jean-Claude Ellena began his career with a minimalistic approach to perfumery. Since then, he has developed this approach into his own distinctive style, which is continually informed by his elegant and quiet way of being, and has been compared by his contemporaries to watercolor sketches and chamber music. Jean-Claude says that a perfume must be like “a soft caress; nothing must shock, nothing must shout”.Jean-Claude Ellena was born in Grasse into a family of perfumers. His training began at age 17, in the most prestigious laboratories – in Grasse, Paris, New York and Geneva – where he always saw himself as self-taught. Roudnitska’s minimalism never left him, however, and his compositions remain focused around a single ingredient, avoiding repetition.
