Un Jardin En Mediterranee By Hermes For Women. Eau De Toilette Spray 3.3 Ounces

This really does remind you of the Mediterranean. It’s almost like being out on the beach and smelling the ocean and the flora nearby that has a really light coconut smell, but it has a little bit of a smoky smell to it. That’s also very subtle and then the rest is like being in Hawaiian shore Mediterranean shore, because you have like a little subtle hint of floral I get a compliments Anywhere I go with it and I love this so much that I even put a dab on my nose when I’m working because I want that smell all day and it is my favorite perfume. It’s my favorite perfume for 15 or 20 years now.

This review is long overdo because I sniffed this on a woman when I lived in Las Vegas. She told me it was Hermes but "forgot" the name of the particular fragrance. I remember it being clean, soft, sweet and somewhat different. The sillage was nice because I wasn't too close but I could still smell her. After trying different Hermes fragrances and the sales associate being impatient, I bought another scent. It was wrong, overly sweet, and the lasting power was short.After an interview in Southern California, I walk into Sephora. "When did Sephora start carrying Hermes?" I wondered, but lo and behold, I tried some scents from the famous French designer. This one is too fruity, this one is too green. And this one smells...(gasp)"OH MY! THIS IS IT!" The scent I have been looking for. I finally found it! I asked the sales associate for a sample immediately so that I can try it on my skin. Mmmmmmmmmm, it is absolutely wonderful.When I first put it on, it is sharp. I am guessing this is the bergamot and cedar. On my skin, it is very balmy, spicy and rich, like expensive whiskey in a barrel. Next, the heart is more floral fruity with the fig and white oleander coming out. This stage is probably my favorite. And lastly, the musk and pistachio take their final bow with some warmth and sweetness.I had to purchase this scent because I feel like it's "me". It is subdued, sweet, and unique. It is a unisex fragrance but I have yet to smell this on a man. I can't wait to wear this when I go shopping to see if I get a reaction because I LOVE the way I smell!

I had first bottle from Sephora but sometimes they don't stock it up. This is authentic for sure! After Hermes stopped making Hermes Delicate this has been my favorite scent, clean refreshing. This particular Herme's one does not last long so you need to re-apply. That is just the nature of this one. Not overwhelming and as it faded away it has this non relenting scent than never turns odd decayed like. You know some designer ones kind of turn to a nauseating scent at the end of the day or if you stand in the sun., you know that odd smell? this doesn't happen with this.. I read another review that explained why (the person mentioned they don't use synthetics in their manufacturing which makes sense) scents like Eternity and Calvin K. can drive one crazy if it catches on clothes at the end of the day.This is a summery scent., I can wear summery scents all year round.. it lifts my spirits and makes me feel fresh no matter how hot it is and how much I had to sweat. I hope they don't discontinue this one as they did with the Hermes Delicate.

I bought this for my wife in Paris when it was brand new, before it was released in the US. She has worn it ever since, probably 90-95% of the time. I similarly have worn Eau d'Orange Vert similarly since it was released as Eau d'Hermes, much longer ago. Eau d'Hermes is built on the theme of the classical 1776 Kolnish Wasser - Eau de Cologne, invented by Germans. The most important part of any fragrance is to use natural ingredients, that's why Hermes (and e.g. Guerlain) are so wonderful - they use natural essences, not aromatic chemicals. Most perfumiers today create semi-synthetic or fully synthetic scents to be cloying, that's why elevators smell of a foul-smelling scent that has affinity for your sinus membranes, it's pure chemistry. You will notice this right away with a scent such as the aptly named E T E R N I T Y which is just awful, but "a chacun - son gout!" Un Jardin En Mediterranee is a more complex scent and longer-lasting due to its composition, but as pure as air on a deserted beach.Others have aptly described the makeup of the scent itself, decide if it appeals to you, but know from a Trained Chemist and an olfactory savant that this scent is sublime. Decent for men as well, but iconic for bold, confident ladies.

Tried this in store, loved it. Purchased this here - I don’t know if this is fake or off, but it smells so bad I have to dump the bottle. Buy elsewhere.

I give this 5 stars because I love it and originally purchased it 7 years ago in Morocco. It is also the best in the Jardin line according to my nose--a melange of fig (base note), cedar, hot pepper, tomato, and Mediterranean herbs. This perfume is quite pricey in retail stores in the US, but is a great price on Amazon and I got the real deal--you can't fake an Hermes perfume! Note: if you are interested in purchasing this but have never smelled it, try it out in a retail store first. If you have worn Un Jardin Sur Le Toit, I find it similar but without the green apple base and more hot pepper, thus more interesting and intriguing. This entire line is very unique and Un Jardin en Mediterranee is a complex fragrance that is not for all, but perfect for moi, who doesn't care for women's perfume much.
