More about Hermès Un Jardin Sur Le Nil
Un Jardin Sur Le Nil by Hermès is a 2005 women's fragrance in the citrus, green and aromatic family, created by Jean-Claude Ellena as a serene tribute to Egypt's riverside beauty. It opens with grapefruit and the crisp brightness of green mango, alongside carrot and tomato. The heart notes of lotus, peony, hyacinth, bulrush and orange stay soft and gentle, and the base brings cinnamon, incense, iris, labdanum and musk, anchored in the smooth woodiness of sycamore. Effortlessly light and refined, it feels like elegance made casual, carrying both freshness and quiet sophistication. It paints the scene of drifting slowly down the Nile, where gardens lean toward the water and sunlight shimmers in the air. Most wearers choose Hermès Un Jardin Sur Le Nil in summer and spring, mainly in the daytime and at the office. It suits anyone who wants a fresh, fruity-green scent for warm days and the workday.
