Un Jardin sur le Nil(2004)

Created by Jean-Claude Ellena for Hermes, Un Jardin sur le Nil opens on green mango and grapefruit, moves through a heart of lotus, green tomato leaf, and marigold, and closes on incense, musk, and sandalwood. Launching Hermes's Jardin series of travel-inspired garden fragrances, its unusual green tomato leaf note, sharp, vegetal, and unexpected, exemplifies Ellena's characteristic willingness to use unconventional materials to evoke a specific, remembered place.
