Un Jardin en Méditerranée

for Men & Women
by Hermès
Year introduced: 2003
Michael Edwards's Family Classification: Floral Aquatic

Description: Inspired by the Mediterranean Sea, the domain of the Greek god Hermes, the brand of the same name has called upon perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena and Leïla Menchari, Hermès’s VP in charge of decoration. Between them, they managed to recreate the scents of Leïla’s garden in Hammamet, Tunisia. Home to peacocks, cats, and smaller birds, it is lush with jasmine, datura and belladonna lily. Once bottled, this green and generous garden tempts both women and men down its fragrantly scented paths.
