Hermessence · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 2011
≈ $250 · 100ml · approx. retail
A creamy, milky sandalwood softened by the lactonic, coconut-like sweetness of massoia bark and dulce de leche. Smooth and enveloping, it opens greenish like fig skin before melting into a warm, velvety woody-gourmand skin scent.
