In the quiet elegance of the Hermès Shanghai Maison, Christine Nagel buzzes with excitement as we discuss Barénia. This is no ordinary unveiling. With a career shaped by creative freedom and instinct, Nagel had spent 10 years refining this fragrance-an undertaking that marked a new milestone for Hermès. Barénia is not just a new fragrance; it is the Maison's first foray into the complex world of chypre perfumes.
"When it was finally ready, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness," Nagel admits. She recounted presenting the fragrance to Pierre-Alexis Dumas at Hermès, describing how deeply she was "emotionally invested" in the process. When Dumas embraced the scent, the relief Nagel felt was profound it marked not just the conclusion of a decade-long journey but the start of a new chapter for Hermès.
