Fragrance

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.

“Source1 Eau de Parfum forms the very core of the Hermetica brand and is the Prima Materia. It is both the base of all of Hermetica fragrances as well as a standalone fragrance in its own right, with a citrus and oriental character. As a base as well as an enhancer, the luminous note of bergamot is blended with molecules of dry amber and fresh wood to bring a modern warmth and verticality to your skin.” –  a note from the brand.
