New Perfume: Paprika Brasil by Hermès
The Hermessence collection of olfactory poems now includes a sixth opus called Paprika Brasil by the in-house perfumer, Jean Claude Ellena. It was inspired by Brazil wood or ember wood and the work of French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss, Tristes Tropiques...
It was conceived of as a unisex fragrance.
Top notes are pimento, clove, paprika. Heart notes are iris, green leaves. Base notes are reseda, ember wood, woody notes.
The perfume is exclusively sold in Hermès boutiques.

I called them yesterday [Hermes] and they really have no idea when this will be available - they think November...
Have you sniffed yet?
Rumor is that it's sweet, but that isn't much to go on, and certainly not a deterrent to the curious and intrepid...!
[Don't we fall into that cavernous category ?]
Dear Chaya,
I haven't smelled it yet. It will come our ways, don't worry, it will be available soon enough as it is their nature to be made available :)
