The Scent

Green fig leaf, citrus and a salty breeze over quiet woods: a Mediterranean garden rendered in watercolour. Nothing shouts; it wears like linen in the heat and suits anyone.

Worth Knowing

This 2003 release began the Jardin series and previewed the spare style Ellena would bring to all of Hermès.

Where It Came From

Inspired by a garden in Tunisia, painted in Ellena’s famously transparent style.

About Hermès

Hermès began as a Paris harness maker in 1837 and still runs as a family-controlled house. Its perfumery took its modern shape under in-house perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena (2004–2016), whose spare, watercolour style defines the Jardin series.
