The story behind Un Jardin à Cythère
Un Jardin à Cythère is dedicated to the Greek island of Cythera — a small, sun-warmed Mediterranean island said to be the birthplace of Aphrodite. The composition is built around pistachio (a defining flavour of the island), grass and olive wood — capturing the green, slightly nutty, sun-warmed character of a real Greek garden.
