It's 40 degrees today so according to my Ai spreadsheet this scent fits right in with the temperature. Evidently the Intense version of Barenia is meant for much colder and tops out temp wise in the high 40's. I'm not sure I agree, but today is the Barenia EDP. I've been a fan of this for quite some time and it tends to be a fan favorite around my house and office. Hope you all have a great Wednesday!! Here's some ChatGpt for you all: Barénia – Hermès (Original Eau de Parfum) Fragrance Family: Woody / Leather / Warm Spicy Gender: Unisex Style: Smooth leather, dry woods, warm spices, subtle florals Perfumer: Christine Nagel Vibe: Quiet luxury with warmth and polish — effortless, tailored, intimate Barénia takes its name from the iconic Barénia leather Hermès uses in saddles and high-end bags — buttery, soft, warm, and beautifully tanned. The fragrance is a wearable interpretation of that leather: dry, woody, subtly floral, and warm. This is not dirty leather.Not smoky.Not animalic.It is luxurious, refined, and elegant — the olfactory equivalent of an Hermès leather jacket or a freshly conditioned Barénia Kelly bag. ⭐ Scent Profile — Full Pyramid Top Notes - Citrus zest (bergamot, possibly mandarin) - Fresh spices (pink pepper, soft aromatic warmth) - Aromatic herbal nuances (a signature Hermès brightness) The opening is clean, woody, lightly spicy, and uplifting — very sophisticated. Heart Notes - Barénia leather – warm, soft, supple, lightly sweet - Patchouli – earthy but smooth, grounding - Warm spices – nutmeg/cardamom warmth - Floral undertone (a light jasmine/geranium nuance) The heart is where Barénia shows its identity:elegant leather + dry woods + warm spicy glow. Base Notes - Woods (cedar, dry amberwood) – structural and clean - Oud (light, polished, very subtle) – adds depth, not loud - Balsamic resin – soft, warm, comforting - Earthy notes – gentle grounding - Soft musk – clean, skin-like finish

Wearing Oud Montaigne today. It opens with a boozy mix of liquor and plum, then settles into rich oud, smooth leather, cardamom, and cedar. Dark, warm, and elegant with a modern vibe. Longevity: On me it lasts around 7 hours. (I’ve tested this on my skin before) Sillage: Strong at first, then becomes a smoother, close-to-skin aura. Perfect for cool weather or evening wear.
