Hermès Jardin De Monsieur Li Eau de Toilette, 50ml at John Lewis & Partners

Poised between reality and imagination, Le Jardin de Monsieur Li Eau de Toilette evokes a Chinese garden. In this place of meditation, perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena conceived a fragrance dotted with flowers, water, trees and rocks.

A floral and botanical fragrance, Le Jardin de Monsieur Li Eau de Toilette expresses a harmonious blend of delicate sambac jasmine, tangy kumquat and fiery bergamot.\n

The bottle echoes the lanterns of horse-drawn carriages and was created by Fred Rawyler. Its glass is in a delicate yellow gradient, the traditional Chinese imperial colour. 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 Hermès annual theme. They are olfactory strolls to indulge every desire for freshness, reverie or escape.
