A poetic voyage of discovery in an unexpected India

History

After the Mediterranean and the banks of the Nile, Hermès invites us to discover the rebirth of Indian nature after the rainy season. For him or her, Un jardin après la mousson (“A Garden after the Monsoon”) was designed by Hermès’s in-house perfumer, Jean-Claude Ellena. After the monsoon, he says, ‘the leaves turn green again (…) water brings out a crisp, cool scent (…) the sense of smell is reborn: alive, clear, wet’.

Bottle
