Eau de Basilic Pourpre is an invitation to enjoy the conviviality of summer, with its long al fresco lunches and sun-soaked Mediterranean aromas. Christine Nagel, director of creation and olfactory heritage for Hermès Parfums, instinctively associates these moments of shared joy with basil, a simple and perennial herb, and her absolute favourite that she dreams of bottling because it is “a burst of pleasure and freshness with an instantly recognisable herbal signature”.
