Hermes Un Jardin Sur Le Nil Eau de Toilette for Women

Graceful, serene and unlike anything else on the market, Un Jardin sur le Nil is part of the Jardin series of fragrances the French luxury house of Hermès created as season-inspired novelties meant to stay the course. Un Jardin sur le Nil is echoing both a previous china pattern of lotus flowers and an exotic trip along the Egyptian river, all the way up to Aswan where the arresting smell of green mango (a dead-ringer for grapefruit) took the perfumer by surprise and inspired him to put it into an aquarelle of a scent such as this one. The tartness and freshness of the top is deepened by cedar wood and in turn softened and warmed by sycamore and a hint of incense. Unisex by definition, Un Jardin sur le Nil is the embodiment of elegance in that it never tries too hard.
