The story behind the bottle.
Jean-Claude Ellena launched Hermessence Muguet Porcelaine in 2016 as a fresh and green floral composition for both women and men. The fragrance opens with the crispness of pear and lily-of-the-valley, creating an immediate sense of purity and freshness that is further enhanced by hedione and neroli notes. As it settles into its base, Muguet Porcelaine reveals subtle musky and animalic undertones, adding a layer of warmth and depth to its overall character.
This fragrance is best applied sparingly to allow its subtle nuances to unfold over time. The green and fruity top notes are fleeting, but they set the stage for the more enduring floral and musky base. One or two sprays will ensure it remains close to your skin without overpowering.

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.”
