Oud Alezan's journey began when perfumer Christine Nagel, motivated by the desire to overcome her fear of horses, decided to visit the stables of the maison's iconic event, Saut Hermès. As she approached the last box, a horse put its head against her face and, in an instant, all her apprehension disappeared. Years after this encounter, Nagel discovered an essence with warm and sensual notes, the starting point for a new story in Hermès perfumery.
