THE CREATION Created in 2005, Un Jardin sur le Nil eau de toilette evokes an olfactory journey to the garden islands in Aswan, Egypt. In this composition, perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena tells of this river synonymous with life and generosity. OLFACTORY NOTES Green and woody, Un Jardin sur le Nil eau de toilette combines tangy green mango with delicate lotus and elegant sycamore. THE OBJECT Designed by Fred Rawyler, the emblematic “lantern bottle” is inspired by the lanterns of horse-drawn carriages. Its glass is in a delicate green gradient, evoking the banks of the Nile. The box is illustrated with a lotus flower by artist Veronique de Mareuil. THE PARFUMS-JARDINS COLLECTION Through the Parfums-Jardins collection, Hermès nurtures its creativity every year bringing together the soul and feelings of a place, the perfumer's inspiration and the chosen theme of the year. There are olfactory strolls to share for every moment, to indulge every desire for freshness, reverie or escape. "A new and rather unusual concept of freshness; green and vegetal scents; the smell of water and sand." Jean-Claude Ellena Un Jardin sur le Nil is an impressionistic stroll through the island-gardens on the Nile at Aswan, the starting point for a new olfactory adventure. Green mango, lotus, calamus and sycamore wood all lie at the heart of this refreshing ode.
