A Garden after the Monsoon: The miracle of the wetland according to Jean-Claude Ellena
In reality at the roots of creation, on the small square of spring greenery of the honorable house 24, faubourg Saint-Honoré. From this extraordinary garden carefully maintained far from the tumult of Parisian life, Ellena has made a light and airy fragrance, like spring.
The rooftops of Paris as an idyllic setting at Un Jardin sur le Toit
A true scent of homecoming, Un Jardin sur le Toit highlights one of Jean-Claude Ellena's greatest memories: the discovery of Hermès' hanging garden during his first steps in the house. A meeting that gave life to creative perfumes, watercolor perfumes where impressions and moments are sketches, sketches of scents, sketches of emotions.
To pay tribute to her fruitful collaboration with Hermès as well as to her theme of the year 2011 (craftsmanship), Ellena has chosen to represent this little corner of paradise perched with Un Jardin sur le Toit. Maintained with unparalleled meticulousness by an attentive master gardener, Yasmina, this perched garden seems to be a real breath of fresh air in an urban and contemporary setting where vegetation is reborn to the rhythm of the seasons and delights the nose and the eyes of its visitors.
It is precisely this image of Parisian Eden that guided the composition of the Un Jardin sur le Toit fragrance. It is also the basis of the work of the illustrator Philippe Dumas who offers us fabulous sketches of Hermès and Paris roofs filled with greenery and freshness that beautifully illustrate the visual as well as the advertising of Un Jardin sur le Toit.
“Un Jardin sur le Toit is lively and zesty news. This perfume tells about a secret garden, nestled in the heart of the city, in Paris. A hanging garden, perched on the roof of the Maison Hermès building, at 24, faubourg Saint-Honoré. »Hermès for a Roof Garden.
A floral, fruity and green Rooftop Garden like an urban Eden
An ode to the fascinating work carried out by the gardener Hermès, Un Jardin sur le Toit proudly carries in its opulent glass frame vivid green vegetal tones, like the colors of spring.
Un Jardin sur le Toit opens with very vegetal notes of fresh grass and fruity notes of apples and pears ready to be crunched. Some black peppers come to decorate these sweet freshness. At the heart we set out to discover the most beautiful flowers of our gardener: roses and magnolias. Finally lulled by these delicate floral sensations, we lean towards the earth and its mysteries while inhaling the powerful and sensual oak moss.
A true watercolor scent typical of an “Ellenade”, Un Jardin sur le Toit is a scent of lights and soft shadows and so soberly suggested. It is also and above all for Hermès "A festive garden, a garden that does as it pleases, sprinkled with light"!
