The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023, Un Jardin à Cythère by Hermès is crafted by perfumer Christine Nagel and embodies an olfactory quest through Greece that leads to the unspoiled island of Kythira. This woody aromatic fragrance combines enveloping notes of grasses with the strength of olive wood and the tenderness of fresh pistachio, creating a distinctive blend that is neither green nor floral but rather 'blond.' The composition opens with bright citrus before settling into a warm and nutty base, capturing the essence of a surprising garden.
Apply a light spritz to ensure the citrus notes shine without overpowering. This fragrance develops best close to the skin, so avoid heavy layers. It's perfect for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet distinctive scent.
