A limited-edition expression celebrating renewal, transformation and artistry.
To honour the Year of the Snake (2025), Maison Hennessy partnered with acclaimed fashion designer Shuting Qiu to create a distinctive limited-edition release of Hennessy Paradis, one of the most luxurious and harmonious blends in the Hennessy portfolio. This edition merges high fashion aesthetics with cognac heritage, making it a true collector’s piece.

The bottle’s elegant satin clip and luxurious presentation box reflect both the cultural significance of the occasion and the premium craftsmanship behind this limited edition.
