The story behind Un Jardin à Cythère
Un Jardin à Cythère — "A Garden in Cythera" — translates a sun-warmed, dressed-down Greek-island aesthetic into Hermès niche perfumery. The pistachio-grass opening evokes a sun-warmed Mediterranean island; the floral-aromatic heart adds dressed-up Greek depth; and the cedar-musk base extends the trail into a soft, sun-warmed dry-down. A wardrobe pillar for committed Hermès Un Jardin enthusiasts.
