CREATION
In 2013, perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena stamped his own identity on Bel Ami with a new material: vetiver.
OLFACTORY NOTES
With notes of leather and wood, Bel Ami Vetiver eau de toilette introduces a new tone with a combination of intense vetiver, rich leather and sensual cistus ladanifer.
THE OBJECT

The story behind
Referring to Guy de Maupassant’s eponymous novel, Bel Ami celebrates leather in its most authentic expression. This chypre fragrance, dreamt up by Jean-Louis Sieuzac in 1986, interprets the material with opulence and character. It weaves an intrigue almost worthy of a detective novel. Written with extraordinary sensuality, the style is classic and elegant.
The Founders bear witness to the initial encounters between the house of Hermes and fragrance. They tell the story of the living heritage of Hermes, its references and secrets... These fragrances are timeless, yet never less than contemporary.
