Hermès lipsticks are one of those objects that doesn’t betray its primary function, the one it has be designed for. Bringing unprecedented pleasure, a satisfaction that is not functional but aesthetic, the lipsticks are refillable and the use of plastic is limited to essential elements such as the interchangeable mechanism or inserts only.

Designed as an everyday totem object, the gesture is calling functionality so perfect that it becomes eminently aesthetic thanks to the very shape of the grapes which differs according to the finish. Satin finishes have a rounded grape, allowing a full and generous application while matte finishes, have a pointed grape, allowing a clean and precise application.

Even beauty has its own smell at Hermès. Composed by Christine Nagel, Rouge Hermès evokes a dream of sandalwood, arnica and angelica notes. Coming in 24 shades (ten matte and fourteen satin finishes), a number that echoes the historic address of the house located in Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris, they are recognizable by their matte or glossy ring. Refills are sold separately but not available for limited edition colors.
