Hermès will introduce Oud Alezan, a new fragrance in the brand's luxury Hermessence line, in February. The last in the series was 2022's Violette Volynka.
Oud Alezan was developed by Hermès house perfumer Christine Nagel, who lost her fear of horses after attending the Le Saut Hermès “Jump, Hermès” competition. "Alezan" refers to a chestnut horse; the notes feature agarwood, rosewater and rose ether.
Hermès Oud Alezan will be available in 15, 100 and 200 ml Eau de Parfum (the two larger bottles are refillable; the refill is 200 ml).
Update: the description from Hermès...
The Hermessence Oud Alezan was born when Hermès perfumer Christine Nagel encountered an extraordinary oud. "That feeling of being immersed in an incredibly intimate and sensual material revived a disconcerting memory I have of smelling the neck of a chestnut horse."
Heady, subtle and majestic, Oud Alezan embodies an accord between an exceptional, enveloping oud and a striking duo of contrasting roses. An Hermessence suitable for both men and women.

Oh, Hermès increased their Hermessences prices. Again. By 10%. We’re very close to 300€ now, for EdTs -_-
I think nearly every brand has raised their prices significantly over the past couple years.
Chanel raise their prices every year.
hmmm trying to keep an open mind but an oud rose isn’t a particularly exciting combination… Nagel does a great rose though.
No, not exciting at all…
