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, since, without resembling them, it fulfills the same function: refreshing in summer. On my skin, it doesn’t work in other seasons; when temperatures drop below 25°C, the grapefruit note becomes a clone of ‘Pato WC Lemon’. Yes, no matter how clean-smelling it is, I’m not motivated to smell like a bathroom. In summer, however, it’s very pleasant and fresh, totally unisex, making me think of reeds on 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 an aquatic lotus close to the skin, which will last another hour before disappearing. I never sense 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 JC Ellena perfumes, it’s very transparent, but not lacking in presence. I’d recommend it for informal daytime occasions. Ideal for vacations, for those white linen shirt, shorts, and sandals looks, accompanied by a straw hat, sunglasses, and that carefree look you only wear when you don’t know what day of the week it is. Pleasant: 7/10 Interesting: 7/10 Versatile: 6/10 Original: 7/10
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 didn’t perfume myself today. Of the Jardins, I’ll stick with Un Jardin en Mediterranee.
Delicious for summer days. Smells very green and fresh, nothing sweet, even acidic and a bit 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 intrusive.
Un Jardin sur le Nile is my favorite from Hermès’ Jardin collection: the most complex and note-heavy, yet minimalist and conceptual like all of them. 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 green vibe, 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, slightly spicy air. A work by master Jean-Claude Ellena, who shows 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; it’s about its simple, sophisticated art with so much class.
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 of machines, different from the rest, and what they did 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 huge 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 perfect, unisex, but on my skin it becomes super feminine. I’d wear it all year; 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.
Starts with an acidic mango and grapefruit, super refreshing. Then it reveals a freshly watered garden scent, with tomato stems and citrus in between, all over an aquatic base. In the end, the skin is left with a very soft musk and a citrus touch. It sounds weird, but together it’s fresh and wearable for the heat. Lasts only 2 or 3 hours on the skin.
Bitter as hell.
Un Jardin Sur Le Nil—I run out of words to explain this smile and that feeling of returning to the past I got when I first tried it in 2018. I’ve noted that the original version smells different from today’s; I have a 2005 bottle, my holy grail, and compared it to a recent one. For me, smelling Le Nil is like stepping back into a past life from my current but nearby homeland, a déjà vu, a longing. I imagine those linen curtains fluttering while the boat crosses water gardens, the warmth of the sun and dust with an essence of the desert. Returning to a golden era connected to nature, for a moment I don’t know if the boat takes me along the Nile past dunes and wildlife, or if it’s simply the scent of Earth’s biosphere.
I bought it after seeing a magazine sample that my mom and I both liked; it seemed curious. Sometimes we look for niche scents 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 a mango peel mixed with blended carrot—a green, rough juice with a hint of tomato leaf. All wrapped in an airy, clean scent. Sounds weird, right? It has its own curious touch. I confess, it’s not the “masterpiece” some claim, but rather a fragrance far from trends, refined and elegant. I don’t think I’ll restock the bottle. It lasts and projects more than it seems: over 7 hours on clothes, about 4 on skin. The fact that we don’t detect it doesn’t mean others can’t. It’s totally unisex and works 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’s an extremely pleasant and delicate aroma, pure delight. Too bad it doesn’t last nearly anything on my skin; to feel it, I’d have to bathe in it, which isn’t recommended given the price. I won’t be buying it again because it seems way too expensive for what little projection it offers.
I haven’t smelled this fragrance in a while; I first encountered it in 2014 and tried it several times. We all know Hermes perfumes are more like works of art than functional products—they don’t last long, but they transport you to wonderful places. Back in college when I started, these creations changed my view of perfumery, steering me away from trendy plastic scents. I think they sit right on the border between designer and niche. With all the crises and reformulations, I understand why it’s hard to keep them going; the last time I tested it on paper, it smelled the same but was extremely diluted, whereas before it lasted days. I hope they’ll one day return to what they were.
What a beautiful note association! 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 or 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.
Herbal perfume that, in my opinion, smells like those cheap room fresheners. It doesn’t have a single shred 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 at all; in fact, I use it to layer with sweet perfumes and the results are amazing. Very unisex, and the citrus is brutal, super natural, like having a lemon right in front of me. I like it.
Top quality, smells luxurious and elegant, like a summer day at a luxury hotel. I love it, it’s super rich but not overwhelming. The longevity and sillage are insane. The only thing is, it looks like it’s for someone a bit more mature—not because of age, but because it feels like a scent for experienced people.
The opening smells like orange peel, sweet with a fizzy medicinal bitterness. You have to let it dry to notice the scent that lasts until the end: a soft, powdery citrus, like lemon soap with talc. It’s soft, pleasant, and hard to get tired of. The only flaw: it doesn’t last long for the price.
I love it; it’s summer in a bottle. The downside is it doesn’t last very long on my skin, but I highly recommend it!
I tried it at an airport ten years ago and thought it was distinguished, fresh, and luminous; now it doesn’t seem as original to me. The citrus is energizing but, for me, it’s too prominent. Does anyone else notice that the EDT has dropped in quality as the price went down?
So rich on humid, heavy days—even with rain! It clears the mind. You can wear it anytime, but it works best for me in humid weather; it adapts super well. It’s green with a soft, sweet touch. Clean and elegant, and on those days it lasts over 8 hours.
It’s such a real and personal fragrance that only someone with a good nose will appreciate it. It’s a work of art, super realistic; you can smell every note. It’s not for everyone. I saw it at a perfumery in Bariloche and fell in love at first sniff, almost an obsession. I bought it on sale and it’s incredibly sensory; it transports you elsewhere, you feel purity. After wearing it, everything else smells synthetic. It’s a 10, but don’t buy blindly. I wear it all year <3
Deliciously fresh and revitalizing. It’s an intimate aroma to enjoy alone and forget about pleasing anyone. Classy.
It projects well on people close to me, but it gross me out; it sounds very harsh and synthetic. The mango hits me hard and there’s no harmony with the rest, which bothers me because I can’t stand fruity perfumes.
The first time I tried it, I was floored by the vegetable note, but then the green mango, the aquatic freshness of the lotus, and the incense kicked in—what incense! I fell in love, and it remains one of my favorites.
Not even close, the scent is a total flop; it smells like stagnant water. What a shame the box is so beautiful, but I wouldn’t buy it for anything.
A tender and relaxing fragrance, one you never get tired of. It works great from late spring through summer. Since 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.
It has a strong plant-like opening, then dries down to become softer, but after two hours, it’s undetectable. I didn’t like it at all.
I consider Un Jardin Sur Le Nil better on 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 an issue: it’s pretty but somewhat superficial, with not much evolution over time. Although it’s pleasant from start to finish, longevity isn’t its strong suit—it fades before expected, and the sillage doesn’t stand out. It’s a fresh, summery option, but if you’re looking for something deeper or longer-lasting, it might fall short.
There’s a genre of perfumes that smell like weeds, true wild nature, dry scrubland, sun-baked ruins abandoned in a city. They orbit around the tomato leaf. Here, we have a slightly juicy and sweet version of this strange family, a version that feels a bit like a bathtub, 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 right after the event, but decades later, when reconstruction is underway, when there are lights, corridors, and people rediscovering the concept of luxury.
Vintage. I really like the opening, but as it dries down, it reminds me a lot of Natura’s Kaiak Océano. When dry, it smells like clothes dried in the sun. The musk stays very present on my skin; it’s the only thing I detect after an hour. It doesn’t have a great evolution, at least not on my pH, but it’s a nice perfume—I just 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-y, citrusy, and floral bar soap. It has good projection and longevity, but in my case, you need to apply it generously. I enjoy it on spring mornings for work and on hot summer days for its refreshing effect. It’s my favorite Hermès scent, and I keep returning to it to restock my ‘green’ perfumes, though I don’t recommend buying it blindly due to its unisex character.
My least favorite 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 after applying it, it smells too much like a wild bush, wild 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’re not a good match.
On my skin, it’s a very acidic grapefruit, green mango, bitter orange peel oil, lotus flower, and woody streaks with hints of papyrus smoke. A fresh, juicy, green, and revitalizing fragrance, very summery, with moderate performance.
Fresh and charming, ideal for spring and summer; one of the best out there. Light, with a slightly acidic touch. It’s impossible to overdo it. Packed with floral and citrus notes. It evokes a dress flying in the sun, a luminous day, tenderness, and romance. Longevity and sillage are medium.
It’s very beautiful, soft, and refined. For now, if I ever have a big collection, I’d definitely include it. I like its 90s vibe, even if it isn’t from that era.
I’ve worn this for years; my mother used it in summer, and now I wear it all year round. It’s citrusy, floral, fresh, youthful, and enveloping—green with a soft, subtle sweetness… but without a sillage. 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 is musk and iris that linger on my 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, but after two hours, it’s gone. Fresh, green, and revitalizing, it’s perfect for summer with medium longevity. Don’t buy it blindly; the first impression often doesn’t appeal, but then it becomes something else. It leaves no one indifferent—it’s a warm embrace of clean scent, like stepping out of the shower, cozy for any season, summer or winter. It’s a must-have that always surprises me.
