THE CREATION
Le Jardin de Monsieur Li Eau de Toilette evokes a Chinese garden, half real, half imagined. A place dedicated to meditation, where leisure and reflection intertwine. Perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena tells the story of a fragrance brimming with flowers and water, trees and rocks.
OLFACTORY NOTES
The floral and vegetal Eau de toilette Le Jardin de Monsieur Li juxtaposes in a harmonious accord a delicate jasmine sambac, a tangy kumquat and an explosive bergamot.
THE OBJECT
The bottle, designed by Fred Rawyler, draws inspiration from the lines of vintage car headlights. The glass comes alive with a delicate yellow gradient, a nod to the imperial color in Chinese tradition. A river of ink in a thousand shades of anthracite, created by the artist Li Xin, adorns the packaging.
THE PARFUMS-JARDINS COLLECTION
The Parfums-Jardins collection represents the meeting point between the essence of a place, the perfumer's source of inspiration, and the theme chosen by Hermès each year to illustrate its creation. An olfactory journey that invites you to savor every shared moment and pursue the desire for freshness, to dream, and to escape.
“I remembered the smell of the ponds, the smell of jasmine, wet stone, plum, kumquat, and giant bamboo. Everything was there; I even had the carp in their pond, patiently waiting to become centenarians.” Jean-Claude Ellena
Monsieur Li's Garden is the story of a Chinese garden, a place where reality and imagination intertwine. A place of meditation where wandering and contemplation become one, where every step liberates the imagination.
Olfactory notes:
- Jasmine sambac, Kumquat, Bergamot
How to use:
- To prolong the scent, apply your fragrance to the inside of your wrists and behind your earlobes. These pulse points are warmer than the rest of your body, which helps the fragrance evaporate more slowly.
- Applying perfume directly to clothes can stain, damage, and alter the fabric.
