Hermès Un Jardin sur le Toit: A Rooftop Garden in Paris
Discover the fresh, green elegance of Jean-Claude Ellena's urban masterpiece.

In this review
Released in 2011, Hermès Un Jardin sur le Toit serves as a fragrant tribute to the secret garden located on the roof of the Hermès headquarters at 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris. This scent captures the essence of a lush, urban oasis amidst the bustling city streets.
As part of the renowned 'Jardin' collection, this fragrance showcases the brand's commitment to storytelling through scent. It is a crisp, vivid interpretation of nature reclaiming an urban space, rendered with the signature restraint and sophistication expected from the house of Hermès.
