Hermès has introduced Barénia Pleine Fleur, a new variation on 2024's Barénia.

Barénia Pleine Fleur sees Hermès perfumer Christine Nagel revisiting the iconic Hermès chypre to create a floral, sensual eau de parfum like the touch of a petal—the signature of a woman who radiates fulfillment. The name celebrates the tactile quality of flowers and of the House's heritage leathers, all of which are "pleine fleur" ("full grain" in English)—a guarantee of excellence.

Barénia Pleine Fleur eau de parfum combines the structure of a chypre with a bewitching white lily and the radiant scent of orange blossom. This luminous, floral accord is supplemented with notes of patchouli and miracle berry, creating a deep, gentle intensity. A composition of striking elegance.

"In my view, Barénia Pleine Fleur is much brighter and more radiant. I think it’s very cozy in a way. The Barénia Pleine Fleur gives me the most cheer and pleasure, because I almost feel like you’re being stroked by petals and at the same time, there’s a very elegant note that’s plain to see. I went with white lily because it has a lot of character to it. Then I wanted to add a more sweet note, and that led me to orange blossom. It’s something that we loved from childhood, and ninety percent of colognes for children have orange blossom in them because it exudes a kind of joy." — perfumer Christine Nagel

Hermès Barénia Pleine Fleur is available in refillable 30, 60 and 100 ml.
