2. Chanel Les 4 Ombres Tweed

Tatler Asia

5. Hermès Hermessence Violette Volynka

Tatler Asia

The 14th fragrance in the Hermessence collection showcases the delicate flower, violet, as it takes centre stage. The queen of violets is also the queen of this composition by Christine Nagel, Director of Creation and Olfactory Heritage at Hermès Parfums, who has chosen a variety produced exclusively in Tourrettes-sur-Loup in south-eastern France.

In a bold move, Nagel combined the demure violet with cuir Volynka, a material specific to Hermès leather goods that is as intense as it is robust, and vegetable tanned using oak bark. Paired with the aromas of this powerful leather, the flower comes alive as the powdery softness of the violet blends with the strength of the leather.

The fragrance comes in two sizes, in 200ml and 100ml bottles, topped with a purple leather cap. Two matching sleeves are available for the 100ml version. One is cut from a powerful and luminous purple leather named “anemone”. The other, an exquisite limited-edition, is ornamented with marquetry in seven different leathers, its main side symbolising a door opening onto a garden filled with violets.
