Hermes Le Jardin de Monsieur Li EDT

Description

Hermes Le Jardin de Monsieur Li is a unisex fragrance that takes you to a Chinese garden between the real and the imagined. At the centre of this floral and green scent are sambac jasmine, kumquat and bergamot. The eau de toilette comes in a 50 ml and a 100 ml bottle.

What is Hermes Le Jardin de Monsieur Li?

This is the fifth fragrance in the Hermès Jardins series, created in 2015 by perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena. This garden lies in China, where reality and imagination meet. The scent is floral and green, and it suits women and men alike.

Hermes Le Jardin de Monsieur Li is an eau de toilette, a light and graceful scent that invites you to walk through a thoughtful garden with wet stones, jasmine and kumquat.

Jasmine, kumquat and bergamot

Three main components sit at the heart of the scent. Sambac jasmine gives a floral, light heart. Kumquat brings a fresh, slightly tangy citrus note. Bergamot adds a clear, bright opening. The scent also contains mint and sap. They give a green, moist feeling.

The watery and green notes make the scent fresh and open. It recalls a damp garden after rain: light, clear and calm. Such a scent does not demand attention but invites it.

A Chinese garden in a bottle

Hermes Le Jardin de Monsieur Li is born from a garden. The garden is meant for meditation and imaginary strolls. The glass of the bottle is a yellow gradient. It starts clear and turns towards a light green-yellow at the base. The bottle was designed by Fred Rawyler and the box carries a painting by the artist Li Xin. That makes the bottle a small garden pavilion: beautiful in all its simplicity.

How to use

1. Spray the scent on your wrists, neck and behind your ears.
2. Let the scent open on the skin.
3. Spray again whenever you want to renew a fresh mood.

An eau de toilette is lighter than an eau de parfum, so it is lovely for everyday wear that does not draw attention. A warm day, a cosy room or a walk in the park gives the scent a good chance to show its freshness.

Two sizes

The scent comes in a 50 ml and a 100 ml bottle. The smaller bottle is a handy companion in a bag and on a trip, while the larger one suits the home and everyday use. Both hold the same eau de toilette, so choose the one that fits your routine better.

For whom and when

The scent is made for women and men. It suits those who prefer a fresh, green scent to a sweet one. It also suits anyone who wants something calm and full of nuance in a fragrance wardrobe. A good time is the morning, when the day is just beginning. Spring and summer, when gardens are in bloom, suit it too. In autumn too the scent brings calm when you want to slow down for a moment.

Hermes Le Jardin de Monsieur Li is also a thoughtful gift: a unisex scent suits a friend, a partner or yourself. Browse more perfumes in our range and find a new addition to your fragrance wardrobe.
