Hermès Un Jardin Sur Le Nil in plain words

What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.

What it smells like

It opens with sharp grapefruit and a green, slightly crunchy mango. The heart is watery and leafy, with lotus, and it ends on soft musk. It smells of cut greenery by the water more than of a flower shop.

How it wears

The perfume community reports moderate wear and moderate projection, sometimes staying close to the skin, so it stays gentle.

When to wear it

Wearers favour it on summer days, with spring close behind, and it is a regular choice for the office.

Who it suits

Suits a wearer who likes green, vegetal and citrus scents with an airy, unusual feel, on men as well as women. It is dry rather than sweet, so someone after sugar may look elsewhere.
