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.

Application Tips
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
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.

The moment when the first lily-of-the-valley blooms in spring, bringing a fresh and delicate aroma that fills an elegant porcelain vase on a windowsill.
