Hermès

Barénia Intense

Barénia Intense by Hermès is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum in the premium price tier. The house lists its notes as lily, oakwood, patchouli and leather, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Listed notes

• Lily A big, creamy, slightly spicy white flower. The kind that fills a room.
• Oakwood Dry, toasty barrel wood. Closer to a whisky cask than a forest.
• Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
• Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
