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. In the heart note join other elements that bring something new, but fit harmoniously into the whole: Cob reed, for example, a touch of orange, barely perceptible, hyacinth and peony. Jean-Claude Ellena began the Hermès "Jardin" series of fragrances in 2003 when his brief was selected from a call for proposals on the theme of the Mediterranean Sea. [1] This resulted in the fragrance Un Jardin en Méditerranée, commissioned through Ellena's employer at the time, German fragrance firm Symrise. [1] The next brief in the series called for a fragrance on the theme of "river". [1] Its development represented a turning point for Hermès and the perfume industry as a whole. [2] Ellena came on board as an in-house perfumer, [1] reflecting a rise in the marketing of the artist behind the scent: just before joining Hermès, Ellena had created L'Eau d'Hiver for Éditions de Parfum Frédéric Malle, which distinguished itself as the first company to place the perfumer's name on the bottle, positioning the brand as an "editor" and the perfumers the true authors of the scents. [3] Where previously these "noses" would function as a "famous ghost", in New York Times perfume critic Chandler Burr's description, known (and revered) in the industry but generally unknown to the public, with Ellena's new role at Hermès, along with his fragrance for Malle and the publicity of Burr's book, he took on a newly public role. [4] For the brand, creating its own perfumery laboratory and naming a top-tier perfumer like Ellena to head it gave Hermès the chance to develop a new aesthetic cohesion to its collection and new credibility with consumers. [1] Instead of licensing its name to outside fragrance firms in a process functionally no different from celebrity scents, [3] now the whole of the creative process was conducted by Hermès. [1] Fragrance [ edit ] And here I can understand the criticism expressed here recently, even if I can't find the "coquey" and "musty" notes that have been identified by the scent addiction and even if FabianO's comparison with the (from my point of view in fact trivial) voyage seems somewhat unfair to me. But just at Fabian's comment I could also sign many things. Nevertheless, it is - but again - this unbearably artificially pure, antiseptic, the impression of freshness wanting to create standard aroma, which acts 97% of the time bar any development, in which the fragrance stays on the skin.

With me also no image arises before the inner eye, there I am with the critics below. The long name deceives, lulls one. Nile, garden - hmmm...Egypt, desert, sand, oasis, sunshine, relaxation.... But there's no mood wanting to emerge from the flat 100%-white-veil-synthetic, no association with such insistently delivered love for the lab wedding. Un Jardin sur le Nil (French for "A Garden on the Nile") is a 2005 perfume created by perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena for Hermès. A unisex eau de toilette, the scent was inspired by the green mangoes Ellena smelled while walking through a grove of mangoes during a visit to the Nile.He builds his composition around this scent of green mango. It corresponds exactly to his idea of a garden on the Nile. So far, he knew only what he did not want: to serve an olfactory cliché of the fragrances attributed to Egypt in the European tradition. Meaning: oriental-spicy, with lots of incense, etc., which never really existed. The fragrance is by no means room-filling or forcibly powerful, but it adheres very effectively to the skin and recalls itself even after eight, nine, hours again and again clearly perceptible in memory.

Durability and sillage are not too pronounced.

Green and woody, Un Jardin sur le Nil eau de toilette combines tangy green mango with delicate lotus and elegant sycamore. Seen this way and seen from close up, "Un Jardin sur le Nil" can't really inspire me. Surely a fresh summer scent, not unoriginal by this vegetable Alexandria all sorts of things in it, sometimes really beautiful, but at least on a man, or at least on me, not really striking, not really balanced, not particularly inspiring. Now I only hope that I still like the scent on Mrs. von Spee and that I have not destroyed this innocent spell by all the analytics.

Only in the base, incense, musk, iris and labdanum appear and let the fragrance aromatic powdery finish like a long, long, red-gold sunset in Africa, which just makes wordless. Fortunately, Ellena has the gift of reinventing the scent of a garden on the Nile according to his imagination. The fact that the green mango that everyone immediately smells out in this perfume is actually not in this fragrance is typical of Ellena. He is not concerned with natural notes, but with that illusion that not only makes a fragrance more vivid, dramatic and expressive than any 100% natural oil of self-collected plants, but also transmits the intended feeling. This is exactly what I like about Ellena and his perfumes. Because for me, too, an artistically heightened, or for that matter synthetic, fragrance is the more interesting and sophisticated option, because it interprets nature, so to speak, rather than just banally depicting it 1:1. Once again, as so often, I wanted to do something for my health and went to my favourite studio, when suddenly a fragrance floated past me. He looked so familiar. Citrusy and flowery, carried by a companion in his prime. I thought, it can't be, the scent looks so familiar, but here in the gym? At the beginning of May it is not yet so hot in Egypt. A good time to travel. Jean-Claude Ellena did not choose this month by chance for his visit to Kitchener Island, home to one of the most beautiful botanical gardens in the world. The small islet was given to Lord Kitchener for his services as commander of the Egyptian army - in particular for his victory against the Mahdists in 1899 - and he began cultivating rare exotic plants there.

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. Fragrances like vegetables - in this case tomato leaves and carrot seeds - still seem unusual today. They were one of the reasons I bought this fragrance in the summer. I now know or own a few fragrances by Ellena. One of my favorites is Un Jardin sur le Toit, released in 2011. But I have deliberately stopped to compare the two garden scents.

In contrast to the less intellectual 100% organic natural and ethno fragrances, the Ellena creation provides additional layers and stimuli. Director's theatre, so to speak. Nature remains inspiration, which is used (predatorily), but which is presented more clearly, more refined - a process that is well known to creatives of all art fields. Ellena therefore likes to describe himself as a writer among perfumers, who is more concerned with creativity than pure composition. Un Jardin sur le Nil is considered a masterpiece by the head perfumer of Hermès. Well, that will have to wait a little longer, but I wear this scent again more often now and like to spray it with 4 or 5 also on my clothes. I want to feel it on me for a long time. On my clothes it also keeps fresh and fruity for a very long time. On myself also fresh and fruity even after hours. With the time it becomes more flowery, but keeps the freshness. For me it is wearable in everyday life, as well as in the evening and also in every season Thank you Mr. Ellena a b Hamilton, Denise (June 29, 2013). "The best summertime perfumes".
