The story behind the bottle.
Un Jardin Sur Le Toit by Hermès was launched in 2011 and is a part of the 'Un Jardin' series, each fragrance capturing the essence of a specific real garden. This particular scent draws its inspiration from the rooftop garden at the Hermès flagship store on Rue Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris, where apple trees, pear trees, and magnolia thrive amidst aromatic herbs and flowers. Jean-Claude Ellena’s composition opens with fresh fruity notes of apple and pear before settling into a heart of rose and green grass, complemented by basil and magnolia. The base is warm and earthy, reminiscent of the garden’s compost, creating an evocative blend that captures the essence of this lush urban oasis.
This EDT is best applied in moderation — the fruity top notes are bright but fleeting. The floral heart takes about an hour to bloom fully, so allow it some time to settle before heading out. It pairs well with light layers and suits daytime better than evenings.

Jean-Claude Ellena
The perfumer of transparencyJean-Claude Ellena is widely regarded as the most intellectual perfumer of the modern era — a minimalist poet whose work redefined what fragrance could be.
“Cézanne's watercolours contain areas of wash that don't overlap. I proceed in a similar fashion.”
