THE CREATION
With the Eau de Toilette Un Jardin sous la Mer, Christine Nagel, Hermès' perfumer, follows the call of the sea and invites you to discover a very special garden. Set sail for the island of Tahaa in distant Polynesia: an unspoiled corner of the world where mountains and reefs, plants and corals harmonize in silent harmony.
THE FRAGRANCE NOTES
A floral, musky fragrance: Un Jardin sous la Mer combines sun-kissed tiare blossom with the enveloping character of tamanu nut and mineral notes reminiscent of coral reefs.
THE OBJECT
The legendary Hermès bottle was designed by Fred Rawlyer and is inspired by the shapes of the lanterns on historic horse-drawn carriages. Its color gradient reflects the azure blue of the sky and the crystal-clear waters of the Tahaa lagoon. On the case, watercolor drawings by artist Aino-Maija Metsola bring the vibrant and luminous coral reef to life.
THE HERMÈS DETAIL
For each fragrance in the Parfums-Jardins collection, Hermès invites an artist to design the case with poetic images. The brand gives them complete freedom to express the essence of each garden. "At Hermès, everything is a design – and everything starts with a drawing," explains Pierre-Alexis Dumas, artistic director at Hermès.
ETHICS
The Un Jardin sous la Mer bottles are available in 100 ml, 50 ml, and 30 ml sizes and can be refilled using the 200 ml refill bottle, which is sold separately.
THE PARFUMS-JARDINS COLLECTION
The Parfums-Jardins collection represents the encounter between the soul of a place, the inspiration of the perfumer, and the theme chosen by Hermès each year for its creations. It is an olfactory journey that fulfills all desires and longings: the longing for freshness, for reverie, and for an escape from everyday life.
