The scent The artist This is a 2 ml spray sample. Find the full bottle here. Amazon mists flutter past giant, waxy, dense green leaves over the forest canopy and across the dusty undergrowth, rich wet woods and branches all around. Blooming white flowers that you can’t see, but only smell in the distance, punctuate your safari. A forest walk through a study in contrasts, this perfume is, at once, blooming and decaying, feeling like a leisurely, nourishing journey through a welcoming, endless space, and a coming darkness. However, in all this complexity, each inhale just feels clean and comforting, as the mist through the vast woods beckons you on. Notes include lily of the valley, pear, galbanum essence, ginger extract, iris concrete, clary sage essence, cedarwood, ambrette seeds absolute and musk. A collection of molecular fragrances, Hermetica is inspired by the ancient practice of alchemy, which sought to transform basic metals into precious materials and to find the ultimate elixir of life. Applying these practices to modern day perfume-making, its ethos is based on the belief that finding the perfect perfume relies on the chemical connection between the molecules within a fragrance and one’s skin. In their quest for the ultimate perfume elixir, Hermetica founders decided to create a revolutionary collection by not choosing between natural ingredients or synthetic molecules but using a combination of the two. This hybrid formula, using unique patented technology - Innoscent™ - and developed by Symrise, is a first-ever in the fragrance industry. The alcohol-free formula reveals immediately the heart of the fragrance. This clean and alcohol-free fragrance experience provides the perfect alchemy between perfume and skin, with a long-lasting effect. Its moisturizing base, made from a new generation molecule, produced from organic, ethical, and responsible sugar cane, offers more sensorial qualities and nourishes your skin throughout the day.
