this is a fantastic perfume. I intended to buy it after I had finally given away the BaréniaEdp to my 26 year old niece. on her, Oh Wonder, it smelled Outspoken and Chic. but at that perfume I could only rationalize and that is not me at all. I am totally emotional. the link I'd thought I had with it I hadn't. but with this one, Barénia Intense, it was love at first sniff. and that is how it usually goes. I smell leather, the sweetness of a White Flower (Ginger Lily which I smelled for real in North Carolina) and the Oak and Patchouli cementing a beautiful new Chypre. there is a persistence which is quite alluring. it is the Leather Accord partially constructed and partially Un Cuir d'Hermès. now I have a 2oz60mL flacon but that seems only gratiously while I am 68½ and am not capable to use all my perfumes up. I bought this perfume yesterday along with (finally) Chanel No5 Eau Premiere (version of 2015) and oh boy, oh Gal, what an Elegance and Chicness and sheer Fabulousness, is incorporated in just these two perfumes. (later) Barénia Intense Hermès 2025 finally offered me the chance to become 'enamoured' with her. I smelled the deep and determining Patchouli, the already in the starting notes Jumping to Barénia-Leather with the help from these very sparsely specified Accords of Leather, Patchouli, Oak Wood and White Ginger Lily. so what it was that I delved my nose to my pulse was Patchouli, the Leather & the Ginger Lily (having smelled it in the real in North Carolina). yet as with the (by me) discarded Barénia, these were all thought constructs. it was too much thinking, deliberating, mentalist and rationalistic. which is exactly what I am not. and so another perfume liberated me out of my 'Constructs'. if I choose a Perfume that is an expression of Feeling, Emotion, I am either Hysteric for it or not. I never had that with Barénia. it was Star by Mauboussin (2023) which at once freed me from all the considerations, deliberations and aperçus over Barénia Intense. suddenly I longed for that perfume. and once Barénia Intense Hermès was oversprayed with Star Mauboussin I immediately recognized the power of such perfumes over my Predilections, Taste, Instincts, Longing and the nearness of such perfumes to my Soul. (in my Heart, not in my Brains.) what I have always loved are Opulent, Bewitching, Narcotic, Over-The-Top-Hookerperfumes with Junglist, Alarmistic, Code4 Chemical Accident perfumes with an overload of Flowers, Resins, Pineapple, Fig, Coconut, Iris, Heliotrope, Vanilla & Tonkas (in this case & for instance) in their Make-Up, Cloud, Profile, DNA. this says as much about Barénia too. (as far as I am concerned.) of course I will spritz Barénia Intense Hermès now and then. the enormous Affluence of Tastes form eversomuch facets of my personality. yet they all fall within a relatively little Register of Truly Primitivist, Soul Scorching Nearness, which is exactly how I love it.

Barénia Intense
Barénia Eau de Parfum Intense by Hermès is a modern interpretation of the classic chypre style, crafted by perfumer Christine Nagel. The fragrance highlights the softness of butterfly lily and the depth of oakwood, complemented by leathery notes reminiscent of Barénia leather and the intensity of patchouli absolute. This composition creates a scent that balances elegance and sensuality, with a mysterious feminine character.
