Un Jardin en Méditerranée, launched in 2003, is an exquisite Eau de Toilette that transports you to a secret garden nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean. This fragrance, expertly crafted by Jean-Claude Ellena, is an olfactory journey through a vibrant Tunisian oasis, brimming with the lushness of trees and the delicate perfume of flowers. It offers a unique blend of sensory experiences, capturing the essence of a hidden paradise where scent, sight, and touch converge.
The scent profile of Un Jardin en Méditerranée is beautifully characterized as fruity and woody, creating a harmonious and captivating aroma. The fragrance artfully blends the zest of Mediterranean citrus with the subtle, creamy notes of fig, evoking the warmth and richness of sun-drenched landscapes. This sophisticated composition makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a refined and evocative scent that lingers delicately throughout the day.
The bottle itself is a testament to Hermès' dedication to artistry and design. Conceived by Fred Rawyler, its form draws inspiration from vintage car lanterns, featuring a glass that transitions from a soft blue, mirroring the ever-changing hues of the Mediterranean Sea. The accompanying case, adorned with southern-inspired colors and illustrated by artist Aurore de la Morinerie, further enhances the luxurious appeal of this fragrance.
Embracing a philosophy of responsible luxury, the Un Jardin en Méditerranée bottle is designed for longevity and can be refilled with the 200 ml Eau de Toilette refill. This commitment to sustainability is integral to the object's design, encouraging a mindful approach to enjoying fine fragrance. As part of the esteemed Parfums-Jardins collection, this scent embodies the meeting of a place's spirit, the perfumer's vision, and Hermès' annual thematic inspiration.
