Hermes Un Jardin Sur Le Nil Eau de Toilette for Women and Men 100 ml

Product Information

And then - pardon, I have to call it - the shit happens: no 5 minutes are over and the "Nile" transforms into a skin-less, lifeless and soulless monster from the house of "Ambroxiso-e-super".

With Sarah Jessica Parker's perfume Lovely, Jardin sur le Nil was one of two scents whose development Chandler Burr chronicled in his book The Perfect Scent: A Year Inside the Perfume Industry in Paris & New York (2008). This period marked a turning point for Hermès and the perfume industry more generally as the "noses" behind scents gained prominence beyond industry insiders: Hermès named Ellena its first in-house perfumer, responsible for Jardin sur le Nil and all subsequent Hermès fragrance releases during his 12-year tenure. The perfume's concentration is eau de toilette. Inspired by Ellena’s walk through a grove of mango trees with green fruit in an island garden on the Nile (a scouting trip in search of possible ingredients around which to construct the fragrance), [5] the final version of Jardin sur le Nil contains notes of green mango, lotus, hyacinth, grapefruit, bulrush, calamus, sycamore, and incense. [6] It was marketed as a unisex scent [1] and continued to draw "best of" recommendations as a fragrance for men and women years after its first release, [7] particularly for wear in the summer. [8] [9] In the Los Angeles Times, Denise Hamilton described it as "The fragrance that catapulted green mango into the olfactory mainstream" with a "mouth-watering tart fruit note set noses everywhere aquiver." [9] The perfume’s green-tinted glass bottle was also inspired by the green mango. [1] The Perfect Scent [ edit ] The fragrance is by no means room-filling or forcibly powerful, but it adheres very effectively to the skin and recalls itself even after eight, nine, hours again and again clearly perceptible in memory. The strength and serenity of the Nile is present in this fragrance. The warmth of summer and a certain leisureliness are also noticeable. At the same time, this fragrance - especially in the beginning - has something fresh, crisp, grassy.In contrast to the less intellectual 100% organic natural and ethno fragrances, the Ellena creation provides additional layers and stimuli. Director's theatre, so to speak. Nature remains inspiration, which is used (predatorily), but which is presented more clearly, more refined - a process that is well known to creatives of all art fields. Ellena therefore likes to describe himself as a writer among perfumers, who is more concerned with creativity than pure composition. Un Jardin sur le Nil is considered a masterpiece by the head perfumer of Hermès. Created in 2005, Un Jardin sur le Nil eau de toilette evokes an olfactory journey to the garden islands in Aswan, Egypt. In this composition, perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena tells of this river synonymous with life and generosity. Schillinger, Liesl (November 16, 2011). "Jasmine, Tuberose and Power (Published 2011)".

The river, the banks - a trance to which one gladly surrenders. Grasses and unfamiliar plants give freshness. There is nothing floral about the elegant sweetness. Rather something abstract. This is probably the green mango. Well, that will have to wait a little longer, but I wear this scent again more often now and like to spray it with 4 or 5 also on my clothes. I want to feel it on me for a long time. On my clothes it also keeps fresh and fruity for a very long time. On myself also fresh and fruity even after hours. With the time it becomes more flowery, but keeps the freshness. For me it is wearable in everyday life, as well as in the evening and also in every season Thank you Mr. Ellena Phần cổ tay được xịt nước hoa thường có nhiều tác động như lúc rửa tay, đeo vòng, đồng hồ, do đó để đảm bảo mùi hương được duy trì, bạn nên sử dụng nước hoa ở cổ tay ở tần suất nhiều hơn lúc cần thiết. Once again, as so often, I wanted to do something for my health and went to my favourite studio, when suddenly a fragrance floated past me. He looked so familiar. Citrusy and flowery, carried by a companion in his prime. I thought, it can't be, the scent looks so familiar, but here in the gym?

Fragrances like vegetables - in this case tomato leaves and carrot seeds - still seem unusual today. They were one of the reasons I bought this fragrance in the summer. I now know or own a few fragrances by Ellena. One of my favorites is Un Jardin sur le Toit, released in 2011. But I have deliberately stopped to compare the two garden scents.The ponderous waters glide slowly along, putting you in a trance-like, dreamy mood. You feel the strength and serenity of the Nile. Everything is peaceful, calm, relaxed. Designed by Fred Rawyler, the emblematic “lantern bottle” is inspired by the lanterns of horse-drawn carriages. Its glass is in a delicate green gradient, evoking the banks of the Nile. The box is illustrated with a lotus flower by artist Veronique de Mareuil. Fortunately, Ellena has the gift of reinventing the scent of a garden on the Nile according to his imagination. The fact that the green mango that everyone immediately smells out in this perfume is actually not in this fragrance is typical of Ellena. He is not concerned with natural notes, but with that illusion that not only makes a fragrance more vivid, dramatic and expressive than any 100% natural oil of self-collected plants, but also transmits the intended feeling. This is exactly what I like about Ellena and his perfumes. Because for me, too, an artistically heightened, or for that matter synthetic, fragrance is the more interesting and sophisticated option, because it interprets nature, so to speak, rather than just banally depicting it 1:1. A new and rather unusual concept of freshness; green and vegetal scents; the smell of water and sand." Jean-Claude Ellena
