UN JARDIN EN MEDITERRANEE By Hermes 50 ml

Product Information

Just a sidenote, the performance is not the greatest but it's decent. 5-6h with good projection in the first hour. This fragrance was created in 2003 by the perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena, who portrayed in this perfume the essence and personality of a person, not their sex. Recreating in a moment full of happiness, on some paradisiacal beach in Tunisia. Charismatic people and travelers, with a lot of love to give and a lot of desire to receive it. Fresh and natural souls, lovers of the casual and the small details that the day to day offers us. Généralement le jardin méditerranéen n’apprécie ni la taille, ni l’arrosage, ni trop de sophistication. SAND AND SEA. Hammamet in Tunisia, is the magical place where the perfumer Jean Claude Ellena moved to Hermès to create this scent of sunny contrasts. Le vent est une autre caractéristique du jardin méditerranéen : girouettes, moulins, carillons de jardin…

The citrically bright fresh green floats on spicy coniferous wood; summer blossoms exude generously many facets of their fragrant beauty until - punctually to the nightingale blow - a new batch of resinous spice, here bedded on soft musk, greets the velvety night in an atmospheric way. Under the power of the sun does not develop the aromatic scents of the flower bundles of white oleanders. What splendour are these in their large tubs that were placed almost arbitrarily in the garden.Evergreens in the summer sun; the bright, piquant tones of cypress and juniper greet my nose after dousing myself with Un Jardin En Mediterranee. I immediately recognize what seems to be Cupressus lusitanica essential oil, also known as Mexican Cypress, which has this intense berry tone in addition to its coniferous, resinous qualities. Whether Ellena used it or not is up for debate, but what I detect certainly lends a distinct, alluring quality, melding with the other top notes. Also, fig and pistachio come in about ten minutes into the dry down, with green, lactonic, almost salty impressions. If you don't know this fragrance and love fig trees and wish for summer holidays in Italy, test this one out. Grab your sunglasses, put on your favorite flip-flops, a tripped t-shirt and some shorts, close your eyes and enjoy the Mediterranean breeze that this fragrance creates in the air.

This fragrance symphony from Hermès can thus be a kind of "flying aroma carpet" to every individual desired point! Właściwie w Polsce też znajdziemy takie aromaty - wystarczy spacer po sierpniowych polach, wejście w bardziej zachwaszczony obszar i roztarcie w dłoniach dziko rosnących ziół: szałwii, tymianku, rozmarynu... Ogródek pełną parą. Może nie Śródziemnomorski, ale z pewnością letni i spalony słońcem.

Un Jardin en Méditerranée, un voyage olfactif signé Jean-Claude Ellena

La chaux blanche trouvera naturellement sa place, que ce soit pour la peinture des murets ou des mobiliers et de la déco. So what it smells like? Basically, a fresh, green, Mediterranean breeze in a summer afternoon. It starts off with a tomato steam accord. Very bitter, green but, still, with juicy and fruity elements. There's a cypress note that helps accentuate the green aspect and some nuttiness that camera from nowhere. Some would say pistachio, but i don't smell that. Un Jardin en Mediterranée by Hermès is a unisex "Eau de Toilette" with aquatic floral scents that tells the story of a beautiful journey along the beaches of the Mediterranean coast, a family trip, where we all enjoy love and wonderful landscapes, full of fruit trees such as orange, fig and red laurel trees.

I rarely venture into the world of mainstream/designer perfumery and I usually get punished for that. This was no exception. Only with a vengeance.

Un Jardin en Méditerranée, des notes Hermès tout en émotion

He arrived at Hermès in 2003, and the first fragrance that he created was this one. This is probably one of my favorite spring/summer fragrances and even after these years and hundreds of fragrances tested, this is still a staple and a must have in my collection. My girlfriend steal it sometimes, cause she loves it too.

As the afternoon progresses, the spice of cypress and cedar increases again and now the juniper finally plays along in the concert of fragrance aromas!I find the concept of a series of Perfume Gardens (“Jardins”) fascinating and deeply enticing and, despite my grounded suspicion towards mainstream/designer perfumery, I first sampled Jean-Claude Ellena’s take at them some years ago. The result then was disappointing. Recently I decided to have another go at them. To no avail.
