Hermes Barenia Eau de Parfum Intense 125ml Refill

Barénia is named after the leather Hermès uses for its saddles and bags, a hide that darkens and softens the more it is handled. The Intense version leans into that idea, going deeper and warmer than the original with the leather brought right to the front.

Christine Nagel built it as a chypre. Leather notes open, butterfly lily adds a soft, creamy middle, and oakwood with patchouli absolute gives a dry, earthy base that stays close to the skin for hours. It suits cooler evenings and anyone who likes florals with some weight behind them.

This 125ml refill tops up the 100ml, 60ml and 30ml Barénia Eau de Parfum Intense bottles, so you can keep the amber studded bottle inspired by the Collier de Chien bracelet rather than buying a new one.
