Very explosive grapefruit for summer and autumn, a good option for personal enjoyment. Quality for sure, smells very natural. 2 hours of projection and about 6 hours of longevity on the skin.
I think it’s a very good modern interpretation of classic colognes like 4711, as, without resembling them, it fulfils the same function: refreshing in summer. On my skin it doesn’t work in another season; when temperatures drop below 25ºC, the grapefruit note becomes a clone of ‘Pato WC lemon’. Yes, no matter how clean-smelling it is, it doesn’t motivate me to smell like a bathroom. In summer, however, it’s very pleasant and fresh, totally unisex, making me think of rushes by the riverbank just about to reach its estuary. The predominant note is an acidic grapefruit that opens the composition, accompanied by the greenness of tomato leaves and the soft sweetness of mango. This phase is the one that projects the most and lasts (about 3 hours), and from there it moves to a skin-level aquatic lotus that will last an hour more before disappearing. I never feel the base notes, either because they are very well blended or because, due to the season, they can’t withstand the heat or melt into the skin. Like all perfumes by JC Ellena, it’s very clear and airy, but not lacking presence. I’d recommend it for informal daytime occasions. Ideal for holidays, for those linen shirt, shorts, and sandals looks, accompanied by a straw hat, sunglasses, and that carefree face you only wear when you don’t know what day of the week it is.

Un Jardin sur le Nil is my favourite from Hermès’ Jardins collection: the most complex and note-heavy, yet minimalist and conceptual like the rest. It’s fresh, not fully aquatic or tropical; it’s a green juice, fruity and crystalline. It opens with grapefruit, but the note that shines is the green mango, very realistic, especially for those who have eaten green mango with salt, as it smells identical. That gives it a crisp greenness, accentuated by tomato and carrot. Gradually, amidst that vegetable freshness, the flowers emerge: hyacinth, iris, peony, and the lotus flower, which maintains that clean, crystalline aquatic air. Accompanied by a juicy, musky orange. Although labdanum, incense, and cinnamon are listed, I don’t detect them; rather, they give it that complex and slightly spiced air. A work by master Jean-Claude Ellena, who demonstrates his class and mastery, and Hermès’ ability to surprise with a fresh collection ideal for spring and summer. It doesn’t matter that the longevity and projection are moderate, but rather its simple, sophisticated art of such class.
A rich, energetic, and different perfume, with the characteristic green mango note. The pity is that it projects nothing; I’ve sprayed more than 10 times and after 10 minutes my wife asks if I haven’t perfumed myself today. Of the Jardins, I stick with Un Jardin en Mediterranee.
Delicious for summer days. Smells very green and fresh, nothing sweet, even acidic and a little bitter. That special opening brings joy. As it dries down, the lotus flower and a very soft incense stand out. Very elegant and not at all invasive.
The original Jardin sur le Nil was a masterpiece. Tested in September 2021, it’s clear it has been reformulated. What used to be delicate and natural is now sweet and synthetic. It no longer has the same magic; after 10 seconds it smells cheaper. What a shame. Hermès is a house apart, different from the rest, and what they’ve done is tragic. Probably many won’t see the difference, but for true fans who appreciate the subtlety and authenticity of the original, it’s a blow to the face. They need to step up. I’m disappointed.
What a delight. I love that green mango bathed in citrus with floral undertones. It’s refreshingly cool, unisex, but on my skin it becomes super feminine. I’d wear it all year round; it has me hooked.
The opening is pleasant and fresh, but after five minutes it turns into a rough, dry, slightly sweet grassy scent that lasts for hours and has been quite repulsive to me. I don’t understand the praise or the novel-like descriptions. There must have been a drought when Mr Ellena visited the place, because this garden by the Nile is parched. What a pity.
Bitter as gall.
Starts with a sour mango and grapefruit, super refreshing. Then it reveals the scent of a freshly watered garden, with tomato stems and citrus in between, all over an aquatic base. Finally, the skin is left with a very soft musk and a citrus touch. It sounds odd, but as a whole it’s fresh and wearable for the heat. Lasts only 2 or 3 hours on the skin.
Un Jardin Sur Le Nil; I lack the words to explain this smile and that sensation of returning to the past that hit me when I tried it since 2018. I note that the original version smells different from today’s; I have a 2005 bottle which is my holy grail and compared it with a recent one. For me, smelling Le Nil is returning to a past life from my current but nearby homeland, a déjà vu, a longing. I imagine those linen curtains billowing while the boat crosses water gardens, the heat of the sun and the dust with an essence of the desert. Returning to a golden era connected with nature, for a moment I don’t know if the boat takes me along the Nile seeing the dunes and wildlife, or if it is the scent of the Earth’s biosphere.
I bought it because of a magazine sample that my mother and I both liked; it seemed curious to us. Sometimes we look for niche things when we find them in designer lines at an affordable price. What does Un Jardin Sur Le Nil smell like? At first, it’s a sweetened grapefruit (not as acidic as Zara’s), then it reminds me of the fibrous inner part of mango skin mixed with blended carrot—a green, rough juice from the tomato leaf. All wrapped in an ethereal, clean scent. It sounds strange, doesn’t it? It has its curious touch. I confess it doesn’t seem to me to be the “masterpiece” some claim, but rather a fragrance away from trends, fine and elegant. I don’t think I’ll restock the bottle. It lasts and projects more than it appears: over seven hours on clothes, about four on skin. The fact that we don’t detect it doesn’t mean others can’t. It is totally unisex and suitable all year round.
A fragrance that didn’t quite convince me. It doesn’t smell bad; it’s a bitter citrus, but out of all the Hermes perfumes I own, this was the one I liked the least.
It is an extremely pleasant and delicate aroma, a real delight. It’s a pity it doesn’t last nearly long enough on my skin; to feel it, I’d have to bathe in it, which is hardly advisable given the price. I wouldn’t buy it again as it seems far too expensive for the little projection it offers.
I haven’t smelled this fragrance in ages; I first encountered it in 2014 and tried it several times. We all know that Hermes perfumes are more works of art than functional items: they don’t last long, but they transport you to wonderful places. At university, when I started, these creations changed my perception of perfumery, moving me away from the plastic scents of the moment. I believe they sit right on the border between designer and niche. Given the crises and reformulations, I understand why it’s difficult to maintain them; the last time I tested it on blotter paper, it smelled the same but was very diluted, whereas before it lasted days. I hope that one day they return to what they used to be.
What a beautiful combination of notes! The citrus of fruits and vegetables, the lotus with hyacinth, and the iris with cinnamon create a unique blend. It’s green and sky-blue, fresh and comforting, like a humid garden on the skin. Something different, nothing commercial or synthetic. Not sexy nor ultra-elegant, it’s creative and transports you to noble essences with a translucent aura. For anyone wanting to take a breath of fresh air.
A herbal perfume that, in my opinion, smells like those cheap room fresheners. It lacks any hint of naturalness. I’m not complaining, there are great synthetics out there, but this one is low quality.
I don’t know how to describe it, herbal, talc-like, green… it’s a delight, a treat for the nose; subtle and delicate. A pure ode.
To me, it smells like sour lemon peel. Not a complaint, in fact, I use it to layer with sweet perfumes and the results are fantastic. Very unisex and the citrus is brilliant, super natural, as if I had a lemon right in front of me. I like it.
Top quality, smells luxurious and elegant, like a summer in a luxury hotel. I absolutely love it; it’s incredibly rich yet not overpowering. The longevity and trail are outstanding. The only thing is, it gives the impression of being for someone more mature; not due to age, but because it suits experienced individuals.
The opening smells of orange peel, sweet with an effervescent medicinal bitterness. You have to let it dry to notice the scent that lasts until the end: a soft, powdery citrus, like talcated lemon soap. It’s soft, pleasant, and hard to get tired of. The only flaw: it doesn’t last long enough for the price it commands.
I love it; it’s summer in a bottle. The downside is it lasts very little on my skin, but I recommend it hugely!
Wonderfully rich on humid, heavy days, even with rain! It clears the mind. It can be worn anytime, but it works best for me in humid weather; it adapts superbly. It’s green with a soft, sweet touch. Clean and elegant; on those days it lasts over eight hours.
I tried it at an airport ten years ago and found it distinguished, fresh, and luminous; now it doesn’t seem quite so original. The citrus is energising but, for me, it stands out too much. Does anyone else notice that the EDT has dropped in quality as the price has fallen?
It’s such a real and personal fragrance that only someone with a good sense of smell will appreciate it. It’s a work of art, super realistic; you can hear every note. It’s not for everyone. I saw it in a perfumery in Bariloche and fell in love at first sniff, almost an obsession. I bought it on offer and it’s incredibly sensory; it transports you elsewhere, you feel the purity. After using it, everything else smells synthetic. It’s a 10, but don’t buy blindly. I use it all year round <3
Deliciously fresh and revitalising. It’s an intimate aroma to enjoy alone and forget about pleasing anyone. A refined thing indeed.
It suits people close to me perfectly, but it makes me feel sick; it sounds very strident and synthetic. The mango hits me hard and there’s no harmony with the rest, which is annoying because I can’t stand fruity perfumes.
Not even kidding, the scent is a complete fiasco; it smells like stagnant water. What a shame the box is so lovely, but I wouldn’t buy it for anything.
It has a strong plant-like opening, then dries down to become softer, but after two hours, I can’t detect it at all; I didn’t like it whatsoever.
A tender and relaxing fragrance, one you never get tired of. It suits me perfectly from late spring through summer. As it’s pricey, I recommend Yves Rocher’s ‘Sel d’Azur’ as a substitute; it lasts just as long, though it’s more citrusy, marine, and unisex.
I consider Un Jardin Sur Le Nil better suited to a woman, but I found it interesting to explore it for its notes. Upon application, the first thing is a fresh combination of green mango and grapefruit, a vitality that many appreciate. It’s easy to wear, especially in warm climates, where its lightness shines. However, that same character can be a drawback: it’s pretty but somewhat superficial, with little evolution over time. Although it’s pleasant from start to finish, longevity isn’t its strong point; it fades sooner than expected and the projection isn’t notable. It’s a fresh, summery option, but if you’re looking for something deeper or longer-lasting, it may fall short.
The first time I tried it, I was utterly put off by that vegetable note, but then the green mango arrived, followed by the aquatic freshness of the lotus and the incense—what incense! I fell in love and it remains one of my favourites.
There is a genre of perfumes that smell of weeds, true wild nature, dry scrubland, and sun-baked abandoned city streets. They orbit around the tomato leaf. Here we have a slightly juicy and sweet version of this strange family, a version with a bath-like quality, where all the low-lying vegetation is well-balanced by a certain aristocratic charm. What does this smell like? Like someone ruling post-apocalyptic ruins. But not immediately after the event, but decades later, when reconstruction is underway, when lights are on, corridors are being built, and people rediscover the concept of luxury.
Vintage. I like the opening very much, but as it dries down, it reminds me strongly of Kaiak Océano by Natura. When sprayed, it smells like clothes dried in the sun. The musk remains very present on my skin; it’s the only thing I detect after an hour. It doesn’t evolve well, at least not on my pH, but it’s a lovely perfume; I prefer other garden scents.
It opens with a citrusy burst featuring green mango, grapefruit, and very prominent carrot. As it evolves, the lotus flower and a slightly bitter incense base dominate. When it dries down and merges with the skin, the scent becomes more pleasant, like a soapy, incense-infused, citrusy, and floral bar. It has good projection and longevity, but in my case, it needs to be applied generously. I enjoy it on spring mornings for work and on hot summer days for its refreshing effect. It’s my favourite Hermès and I return to it to restock ‘green’ perfumes, though I don’t recommend buying it blindly due to its unisex character.
My least favourite perfume so far (even more than Chanel No. 5). At first, without applying it, it smells nice with citrus and woody notes that I like, but once applied, it smells too much of wild herbs, sticks, and a mix of fruits and vegetables that I dislike. It reminds me of cheap men’s perfumes from 50 years ago. I haven’t liked it at all; I can’t tolerate wearing it. Nothing against the perfume itself; simply, we aren’t a good match.
On my skin, it’s a very acidic grapefruit, green mango, bitter orange oil, lotus flower, and woody streaks with hints of papyrus smoke. A fresh, juicy, green, and revitalising fragrance, very summery, with moderate performance.
Fresh and charming, ideal for spring and summer; one of the best that exist. Light, with a slightly acidic touch. It’s impossible to overpraise. Filled with floral and citrus notes. It evokes a dress flying in the sun, a luminous day, tenderness, and romance. Longevity and projection are moderate.
I’ve worn this for years; my mother used it in summer and now I wear it all year round. It’s citrusy, floral, and fresh—youthful and enveloping, green with a soft, subtle sweetness… yet without a trail. Upon opening, I detect grapefruit and green mango, but not tomato or carrot. The heart captivates me: lotus flower, iris, orange, hyacinth, and peony. The base features musk and iris that linger on the nose; I don’t detect the incense, myrrh, or cinnamon. On my skin, it’s acidic, citrusy, and juicy, with notes of orange peel, lotus, and iris that accompany you, though after two hours, it fades to skin scent. Fresh, green, and revitalising, it’s perfect for summer with medium longevity. Don’t buy it blindly; the first impression often isn’t appealing, but then it’s something else entirely. It doesn’t leave you indifferent; it’s a warm embrace of clean scent, like stepping out of the shower—welcoming for any season, summer or winter. It’s an essential that always surprises me.
It’s very beautiful, soft, and refined. For now, if I ever have plenty of cash, I would own it. I like its 90s vibe, even if it isn’t from that era.
