About This Perfume
Amberbee by Hermetica is a Oriental fragrance for women and men. Amberbee was launched in 2018. The fragrance features Amber, Powdery Notes, Woody Notes and Bergamot. Hermetica is a collection of molecular fragrances inspired by the ancient practice of alchemy, which sought to transform basic metals into precious materials and to find the ultimate elixir of life. Applying these practices to modern day perfume-making, Hermetica is based on the belief that finding the perfect perfume relies on the chemical connection between the molecules within a fragrance and one’s skin. In their quest for the ultimate perfume elixir, Hermetica founders John and Clara Molloy decided to create a revolutionary collection by not choosing between natural ingredients or synthetic molecules but using a combination of the two. This hybrid formula, using unique patented technology - Innoscent™ - and developed by Symrise, is a first-ever in the fragrance industry. The alcohol-free formula reveals immediately the heart of the fragrance. "Revered since ancient times, amber is a rich, luminous and golden material. This luxurious resin gives Orientalbee Eau de Parfum sweet and velvety facets, while honey elements wraps the fragrance in a delicate manner. Orientalbee is an ambery and oriental fragrance, brightened by begamot essence and warmed by a sweet powder wood molecule." - a note from the brand. Orientalbee is available as a 100ml Eau de Parfum.

The Brand

Hermetica

Hermetica is a Paris-based niche house with a distinct technical wedge: alcohol-free molecular fragrance built on the Innoscent™ platform. The 24 live pieces on Scendira skew entirely unisex (23 of 24) and split across Fresh (10), Gourmand (6) and Floral (5), the alcohol-free base gives everything a soft-diffusion character reviewers often describe as "close-to-skin." Price band is $65-$190 (average $122), sitting in the accessible-niche tier. Top pieces: Bloomtea ($110,.17, fresh green tea, pear and soft rose haze), Pomeloflow ($154.69,.98, bright citrus fruit salad with fresh jasmine), Verticaloud ($189.98,.90, spiced oud incense with amber warmth) and Sandalsun ($115,.88, creamy cocoa and hazelnut latte with sandalwood). Hermetica is the honest answer to "what's a niche house I can actually wear to the office", the alcohol-free base and unisex catalogue make it uncommonly wearable across seasons and settings.
