Un Jardin sur le Nil
Un Jardin sur le Nil by Hermès is an unisex eau de toilette from 2005 in the premium price tier. It opens with grapefruit, mango and tomato leaf, moves into lotus, hyacinth and orange blossom and dries down to incense, cedarwood and musk. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Mango Thick, sweet and tropical. Creamy rather than sharp.
- Tomato Leaf Bitter, fuzzy, greenhouse-in-summer. Divisive and very distinctive.
Heart
- Lotus Pale, watery flower. Delicate and slightly powdery.
- Hyacinth Cold, green, watery floral. Smells like early spring.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Dry-down
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
