The twelfth addition to the Hermessence collection, “Cuir d’Ange” exudes soft wafting scents recalling Provence. The well-known perfume-maker Jean-Claude Ellena has borrowed inspiration from his memories of reading novels by Giono. The result is a fragrant poem in an elegant case of beige-cognac leather. Slightly floral and wonderfully powdery, “Cuir d’Ange” is a perfume that flatters the skin. Hermès, 8 avenue de Verdun, Nice (04 93 87 75 03).
