Eau de Victoria

"Hermès history intertwined with perfume ever since the 1930s. Each perfume is a story within the impressive collections of Hermès perfumes, opening up the owner to a fantasy world. Since 1951, the company started to create several fragrances for both men and women, as well as some popular unisex lines. Hermes’ completely unique style of exploring the freshness of Cologne echoes throughout the lavish expression of pure pleasure." "the Hermès's fashion house success undoubtedly increased with the advent of a perfume collection. The first women's perfume fragrance became Hermes Eau de Victoria 1944, which was created for the announcement of the rights to create a collection. this perfume was available only at the company store, and was not produced here after."
