Eau de Parfum

Hermès Barénia Eau de Parfum is a fresh, floral chypre built around oak wood, Akigalawood®, white gingerlily and bergamot. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend autumn and spring, with winter and summer further behind. Daily wear, work and leisure lead the occasions, while night out and evening are picked less. Most voters read it as feminine, though some call it classic or modern. It smells fresh and floral, with bergamot and miracle berry adding a fruity, sweet lightness. Oak wood and Akigalawood® give it a spicy, woody, leathery frame, and white gingerlily carries the floral side. The notes read as one whole rather than in stages.
