More about Hermès Le Jardin de Monsieur Li
Le Jardin de Monsieur Li by Hermès is a 2015 women's fragrance by perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena that evokes a tranquil Chinese garden. Its accords are citrus, green and white floral. The top notes are kumquat, mint, jasmine and green sap, a bright, sappy and herbal start that reads as cut stems and fresh fruit peel. Aromatic and fresh spicy touches keep Hermès Le Jardin de Monsieur Li light and clear. Wearers pick it mainly in summer and spring, and mostly during the day and in office hours, with evenings and nights well behind. That makes it a natural choice for a woman who wants a green citrus scent for warm workdays, weekend walks and sunny afternoons, and who prefers crisp and herbal over sweet and heavy. The mint and jasmine give Le Jardin de Monsieur Li a little more personality than a plain citrus.
