Bel Ami by Hermès is a Woody Chypre fragrance for men. Bel Ami was launched in 1986. The nose behind this fragrance is Jean-Louis Sieuzac. Top notes are Sage, Bergamot, Cardamom, Mandarin Orange and Lemon; middle notes are Carnation, Patchouli, Cedar, Orris Root, Basil and Jasmine; base notes are Leather, Oakmoss, Styrax, Vetiver, Amber, Vanilla and Coconut. Bel Ami: a reference to Guy de Maupassant's famous novel, Bel Ami celebrates leather in its most authentic expression. The chypre extract, conceived by Jean-Louis Sieuzac in 1986, interprets the material with as much opulence as character, in a register of surprising sensuality.

The Inspiration
A fragrance is more than a list of notes. It is the atmosphere, memory, and feeling that remains long after the first spray.
