THE CREATION
The Eau de Toilette Un Jardin sur le Nil, created in 2005, evokes an olfactory journey to the "garden islands" of Aswan, Egypt. With this composition, perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena captures the essence of the river that gives it its name, a symbol of life and generosity.
OLFACTORY NOTES
The green and woody Eau de toilette Un Jardin sur le Nil combines a tangy green mango with a delicate lotus and an elegant sycamore.
THE OBJECT
The bottle, designed by Fred Rawyler, draws inspiration from the lines of vintage car headlights. The glass of the bottle comes alive with a delicate green gradient inspired by the banks of the Nile. The packaging features a lotus flower painted by the artist Véronique de Mareuil.
THE PARFUMS-JARDINS COLLECTION
The Parfums-Jardins collection represents the meeting point between the essence of a place, the perfumer's source of inspiration, and the theme chosen by Hermès each year to illustrate its creation. An olfactory journey that invites you to savor every shared moment and pursue the desire for freshness, to dream, and to escape.
"A new and rather unusual idea about freshness: green and vegetable scents, scents of water and sand." Jean-Claude Ellena
Un Jardin sur le Nil is an impressionistic stroll through the garden islands of the Nile, in Aswan, the starting point of this new olfactory adventure. Green mango, lotus, incense, calamus, and sycamore wood form the heart of this refreshing ode.
How to use:
- To prolong the scent, apply your fragrance to the inside of your wrists and behind your earlobes. These pulse points are warmer than the rest of your body, which helps the fragrance evaporate more slowly.
- Applying perfume directly to clothes can stain, damage, and alter the fabric.
