The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013, Jour d'Hermès Parfum by Hermès is a floral fragrance crafted by Jean-Claude Ellena. The composition opens with bright citrus and green notes that evoke a fresh morning breeze, before settling into a heart of gardenia and white flowers. The base notes of musk and woods add warmth and depth, creating an atmosphere that feels both crisp and comforting.
Apply this fragrance with two sprays to capture its full range. The citrus top notes are fleeting, so rely on the musky and woody base for lasting warmth throughout the day.

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.”
