The word to the perfumer, Jean-Claude Ellena: “A garden in celebration, a spontaneous garden, flooded with light”. Un Jardin sur le Toit tells of a secret garden, nestled in the heart of Paris. A suspended garden that is hidden on the roof of the Maison Hermès building, at 24 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. An apple tree, a pear tree, a magnolia and grass, for a crunchy and laughing scent. Olfactory strolls through the various themes of the Maison, Jardins fragrances testify to authentic encounters between the Hermès style, the soul of a place and the creator.

Eau de gentiane blanche: conceived by Jean-Claude Ellena as an irreverent on the traditional style of Cologne, the Eau de gentiane blanche revisits freshness with a mixture of audacity and delicacy. Complex and sophisticated, gentian offers its many facets sometimes bitter, sometimes smooth in an elegant vapor of white musks that source their sweetness away from sugary elements, thus offering the gentian component an unexpected olfactory counterpart.

The word to the perfumer, Jean-Claude Ellena: “A bittersweet cologne: freedom in tradition”. Classic in its approach, which favors the liveliness and freshness of citrus fruits, Eau de pamplemousse rose stands out for the modernity of its creation. The citrus theme of grapefruit comes alive with a new splendor in contact with the rose. The cologne collection expresses the Hermès lifestyle. Generous expressions of a simple and sparkling pleasure, with their olfactory vividness the Hermès colognes acquire the capacity of almost figurative evocations.

The pungent and explosive vivacity of lemons combined with the depth of the subtly smoky and woody notes of black lemon. Eau de Citron Noir leaves a singular and paradoxical trace, an extraordinarily persistent freshness, which resists to the bitter end: it is the cologne of day and night! The fragrance features lime, smoke, lemon, black tea, cedar and guaiac wood.

With Eau de rhubarbe écarlate Christine Nagel creates her first Cologne for Hermès. Unpublished and bold, more vegetal than her citrus, she gives the crunchy and acidulous freshness of rhubarb wrapped in the velvety touch of white musks.

The word to the perfumer, Jean-Claude Ellena: "I don't know a more joyful smell than mandarin and more velvety than amber". Eau de mandarine ambrée gives the cologne a mischievous vitality, reinventing its classic affiliation with citrus. The fresh mandarin is combined with the explosion of passion fruit, also revealed by the velvety touch of amber.
