Hermès Barénia: Where Tradition Meets Wild Modernity

The Origin: A Material with Soul

Barénia leather stands as a hallmark of Hermès craftsmanship. Its supple surface and rich aroma reflect generations of expertise. The scent of Barénia leather is woven into the house’s identity, representing a heritage defined by dedication to quality materials and precise artistry. Perfumer Christine Nagel immersed herself in the world of Barénia leather, seeking to capture its tactile allure in a fragrance. Her creative process drew on the emotional resonance of leather as both a medium and a memory, rooted in the workshops and legacy of Hermès.
