The story behind the bottle.
Jean-Claude Ellena crafted Eau de Narcisse Bleu for Hermès in 2013 as part of the Les Colognes Hermes collection. This fragrance opens with a bright, green citrus top note that feels like a breath of fresh air, leading into the heart where daffodil and aromatic nuances create an unexpected contrast. The base is warm and balsamic, grounding the freshness with a touch of woody depth.
This fragrance has moderate longevity and sillage, so aim for two sprays to maintain its balance. The citrus notes are most prominent in the first hour, but the balsamic warmth lingers longer, making it perfect for daytime wear.

Jean-Claude Ellena
The perfumer of transparencyJean-Claude Ellena is widely regarded as the most intellectual perfumer of the modern era — a minimalist poet whose work redefined what fragrance could be.
“Cézanne's watercolours contain areas of wash that don't overlap. I proceed in a similar fashion.”
