Created in 1999 by perfumer Olivia Giacobetti, this soliflore fragrance is an ode to femininity and splendor. It evokes the goddess—the messenger of the gods and the female alter ego of Hermès—as well as the unique flower. As a tribute to the first letter of Hermès, her name is preceded by an H.
THE FRAGRANCE NOTES
The Hiris Eau de Toilette is a poetic score that delicately expresses the sometimes floral, sometimes powdery or herbal charm of the flower.
THE OBJECT
The bottle is inspired by the lanterns of horse-drawn carriages of yesteryear, and the black cap is reminiscent of the shape of a riding helmet. The fragrance's affiliation with the Parfums-Fondateurs collection is indicated by the label on the back, which features a motif by Philippe Dumas.
THE PARFUMS-FONDATEURS COLLECTION
The Parfums-Fondateurs collection draws its inspiration from the heritage of the House of Hermès. Each creation encapsulates the fantasy world of Hermès in a name, a fragrance, a color. Over the years, Hermès has written a new chapter in its history with original, expressive perfumes, created in collaboration with unique perfumers.
From flower to fragrance – that is the modern, simple concept behind Hiris. An unusual perfume that focuses solely on the scent and beauty of the flower and is decidedly feminine. Hiris is pure emotion. This perfume novel, penned by Olivia Giacobetti, exudes the sometimes floral, sometimes powdery or herbal charm of one of nature's fragrant wonders in an incredibly delicate and subtle way.
