Hermès Les Jardins Un Jardin à Cythère is one of the most unusual fragrances in the Parfums-Jardins collection. It was created by perfumer Christine Nagel as an olfactory journey to Greece – to the island of Kythira, a place shrouded in myths, sunshine and dry, golden landscapes. This is not a classic green or floral garden. According to Hermès, this garden is "blonde" – warm, dry, mineral, and naturally sensual.
Characteristics:
The fragrance opens with a bright citrus freshness that is neither juicy nor sweet, but rather dry and sun-kissed. It immediately connects with aromatic notes of dry grasses, evoking a Mediterranean landscape dried by wind and sun. This introduction is very natural, airy, and elegant.
At the heart of the composition, a delicate, creamy note of fresh pistachios unfolds, adding softness, originality, and a slightly nutty character to the fragrance. The pistachios here are not sweet, but green, milky, and sophisticated—creating an unexpected contrast to the dry grasses and citrus.
The base of the fragrance is built on olive wood, which adds depth, warmth, and natural Mediterranean elegance to the composition. The woody accord is soft, smooth and long-lasting, without any heaviness or smokiness. The overall impression is sunny, calm and very harmonious.
Fragrance profile:
Top notes: Citrus tones.
Middle notes: Dry grasses, fresh pistachios.
Base notes: Olive wood.
Bottle design:
The iconic lantern-shaped bottle is this time cloaked in bright yellow glass, reflecting the sunny character of the fragrance. The illustration on the box by artist Elias Kafouros captures the Greek landscape—golden grasses, olive trees, pistachios, and the blue sea in the background.
Hermès Les Jardins Un Jardin à Cythère is a fragrance of silence, light, and landscape. It does not have a strong perfume scent, but rather a delicate aura that becomes part of the wearer. It is ideal for those looking for a sophisticated, unconventional, and natural fragrance with a unisex character.
