Un Jardin En Mediterranee Cologne

Details and Care for Un Jardin En Mediterranee

Un Jardin En Mediterranee by Hermes is a sun-drenched escape in a bottle, born from the creative vision of legendary Hermes house perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena. Launched in 2003, this iconic fragrance was inspired by a garden on the coast of North Africa - a lush, fig tree-shaded paradise perched above the shimmering Mediterranean Sea. Ellena reportedly drew inspiration from a visit to a Tunisian estate, translating the warmth of stone, salty sea breezes, and flowering Mediterranean flora into liquid form. The result is a fragrance that feels like a postcard sent from somewhere impossibly beautiful. Un Jardin En Mediterranee belongs to Hermes's beloved garden fragrance collection, a line dedicated to capturing the spirit of real places around the world.

Un Jardin En Mediterranee Cologne is a fresh, green, and woody fragrance that transports the wearer to an idyllic Mediterranean garden. The first note is a burst of the typical green and creamy scent of fig leaf and fig wood, which has the addition of the citrusy brightness of orange blossom and the earthy richness of lentisque - the latter being a resinous shrub originally found in the Mediterranean basin. As the scent further develops, cypress and a hint of floral warmth are brought into the heart, while it is finally completed with cedarwood, which is both grounding and airy. This cologne is precisely designed for warm weather, casual daytime, and anyone who hip such a clean, nature-inspired scent with real sophistication. It is a scent that does not blare - it gently beckons.
