Only in the base, incense, musk, iris and labdanum appear and let the fragrance aromatic powdery finish like a long, long, red-gold sunset in Africa, which just makes wordless. Jean-Claude Ellena began the Hermès "Jardin" series of fragrances in 2003 when his brief was selected from a call for proposals on the theme of the Mediterranean Sea. [1] This resulted in the fragrance Un Jardin en Méditerranée, commissioned through Ellena's employer at the time, German fragrance firm Symrise. [1] The next brief in the series called for a fragrance on the theme of "river". [1] Its development represented a turning point for Hermès and the perfume industry as a whole. [2] Ellena came on board as an in-house perfumer, [1] reflecting a rise in the marketing of the artist behind the scent: just before joining Hermès, Ellena had created L'Eau d'Hiver for Éditions de Parfum Frédéric Malle, which distinguished itself as the first company to place the perfumer's name on the bottle, positioning the brand as an "editor" and the perfumers the true authors of the scents. [3] Where previously these "noses" would function as a "famous ghost", in New York Times perfume critic Chandler Burr's description, known (and revered) in the industry but generally unknown to the public, with Ellena's new role at Hermès, along with his fragrance for Malle and the publicity of Burr's book, he took on a newly public role. [4] For the brand, creating its own perfumery laboratory and naming a top-tier perfumer like Ellena to head it gave Hermès the chance to develop a new aesthetic cohesion to its collection and new credibility with consumers. [1] Instead of licensing its name to outside fragrance firms in a process functionally no different from celebrity scents, [3] now the whole of the creative process was conducted by Hermès. [1] Fragrance [ edit ] Through the Parfums-Jardins collection, Hermès nurtures its creativity every year bringing together the soul and feelings of a place, the perfumer's inspiration and the chosen theme of the year. There are olfactory strolls to share for every moment, to indulge every desire for freshness, reverie or escape.

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. At the beginning of May it is not yet so hot in Egypt. A good time to travel. Jean-Claude Ellena did not choose this month by chance for his visit to Kitchener Island, home to one of the most beautiful botanical gardens in the world. The small islet was given to Lord Kitchener for his services as commander of the Egyptian army - in particular for his victory against the Mahdists in 1899 - and he began cultivating rare exotic plants there. 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.In the heart note join other elements that bring something new, but fit harmoniously into the whole: Cob reed, for example, a touch of orange, barely perceptible, hyacinth and peony. Un Jardin sur le Nil (French for "A Garden on the Nile") is a 2005 perfume created by perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena for Hermès. A unisex eau de toilette, the scent was inspired by the green mangoes Ellena smelled while walking through a grove of mangoes during a visit to the Nile.

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.I don't notice any of the supposed cinnamon. Since the mighty plane tree already shows itself more clearly.

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. a b "In Search of 'The Perfect Scent' ". All Things Considered. NPR. January 21, 2008.

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. Seen this way and seen from close up, "Un Jardin sur le Nil" can't really inspire me. Surely a fresh summer scent, not unoriginal by this vegetable Alexandria all sorts of things in it, sometimes really beautiful, but at least on a man, or at least on me, not really striking, not really balanced, not particularly inspiring. Now I only hope that I still like the scent on Mrs. von Spee and that I have not destroyed this innocent spell by all the analytics.Great Perfumes, Recommended by T Editors". T Magazine.

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. A new and rather unusual concept of freshness; green and vegetal scents; the smell of water and sand." Jean-Claude Ellena 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. 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
