Hermessence Paprika Brasil by Hermès is a Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men. Hermessence Paprika Brasil was launched in 2006. The nose behind this fragrance is Jean-Claude Ellena. Top notes are Pimento, Paprika and Cloves; middle notes are Iris and Green Leaves; base notes are Precious Woods, Brazilian Redwood and Mignonette. Created in 2004 by Jean-Claude Ellena, Hermessence is a collection of unique fragrances conceived as olfactory poems using perfuming’s most exclusive elements. As sober and intense as Japanese haiku, they reinvent a nature that is as precious as it is unusual, as if rendered by the inspired writing of a composer in search of the new. Enriched each time the perfumer discovers a new country, a language, a culture or simply extraordinary new ingredients, as of today the line consists of eight fragrances, exclusively available in Hermès stores.Paprika Brasil: hot pepper, iris and reseda, an original interpretation of Brazilwood which sits between paprika red (it is the wood from which the tinctorial pigment was taken) and the powdery note of the Brazilian spice heightened by iris. “In between the association of ideas and the play on words…”
