Le Jardin de Monsieur Li Eau de toilette
CREATION
Le Jardin de Monsieur Li eau de toilette evokes a Chinese garden poised between reality and imagination. A place for meditation, where strolling and thought go hand in hand. Perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena tells the story of a fragrance dotted with flowers, water, trees, and rocks.
OLFACTORY NOTES
Floral and vegetal, Le Jardin de Monsieur Li eau de toilette juxtaposes delicate sambac jasmine, tangy kumquat and explosive bergamot in a harmonious accord.
THE OBJECT
Designed by Fred Rawyler, the bottle is inspired by the lines of horse-drawn carriage lanterns. Its glass is in a delicate yellow gradient, a nod to the traditional Chinese imperial color. Painted by artist Li Xin, a river of ink in a thousand shades of anthracite adorns the box.
THE PARFUMS-JARDINS COLLECTION
The Parfums-Jardins collection brings together the soul of a place, the perfumer's inspiration and the theme chosen by Hermès each year to nourish its creativity. They are olfactory strolls to share for every moment, to indulge every desire for freshness, reverie or escape.

Main raw materials: Sambac Jasmine, Kumquat, Bergamot
Made in France

The story behind
“I remembered the smell of ponds, the smell of jasmine, the smell of wet stones, of plum trees, kumquats and giant bamboos. It was all there, and in the ponds, there were even carp steadily working towards their hundredth birthdays.” Jean-Claude Ellena
Le Jardin de Monsieur Li describes a Chinese garden poised between reality and imagination. A place for meditation, where strolling is allied with thought, and every step sets the imagination free.
Olfactory strolls through the different annual themes of the house, the Les Jardins fragrances attest to genuine encounters between the Hermès spirit, the soul of a place and the perfumer-composer.
