About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Hermessence Vanille Galante (2009) is a unisex Oriental Vanilla that opens with an unusual bouquet: lily, ylang-ylang, vanilla, green notes, spices, sandalwood, and amyl salicylate all listed as top notes. This creates a fresh, floral-spicy introduction rather than a heavy vanilla. The white floral accord dominates at 100%, with vanilla at 77%, yellow floral at 69%, green at 68%, soft spicy at 59%, and sweet at 59%. The result is a luminous, airy vanilla wrapped in white flowers and a green stem-like freshness. Collectors should note the absence of listed heart and base notes, meaning the composition is likely linear or relies on the top notes to unfold. It suits those who find traditional vanillas too sweet or dense and prefer a more transparent, floral interpretation. Ideal for spring and summer, or for anyone seeking a sophisticated, unisex scent with a natural, garden-like quality.

中文簡介

Hermessence Vanille Galante(2009)係一款中性東方香草,前調包含百合、香草、依蘭、綠葉、香料、檀香同戊基水楊酸,營造出清新花香帶微辛辣嘅開場,而非厚重嘅雲呢拿。主調以白花(100%)同香草(77%)為主,加上黃花(69%)、綠葉(68%)、柔和辛辣(59%)同甜(59%),整體輕盈通透,似花園中嘅自然氣息。由於無列出中調同基調,香氣可能較線性。適合唔鍾意傳統雲呢拿太甜太濃嘅人,鍾意透明花香同中性香嘅收藏家。春夏日常或優雅場合皆宜。

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
