Since it is that wonderful holiday time of the year I found myself in Sephora wandering around checking out make up products and fragrances. I had only ever smelled Hermes perfumes in department stores but never the Eau de toilettes. I am incredibly disappointed that I hadn't tested these sooner! The Un Jardin Sur Le Nil is such a fresh clean scent reminiscent of a fresh garden. I absolutely love it and this may end up being my new every day scent. I did not however end up purchasing from #sephora as they only had smaller sizes available. The gift set was from #Saks5thAvenue. I highly recommend this scent, the price is similar to other higher end brands e.g. Chanel.

I love this perfume. First of all, it stays put for a great portion of the day. It has some fruit notes, maybe almost like spiced mango, grassy notes and wood notes. It’s very balanced and summery! It does not come across sweet; it’s almost like sniffing right in a vegetable garden that is near a beautiful lake. The scent is strong, and not for everyone, but it’s beautiful and everyone should try it on at least once!

So I will say I don’t dislike the scent. It’s just very strong. I would say the scent is strong like a cologne but has this kind of citrus scent that makes it work for women too. But this is definitely a one spray and you’re good fragrance. It lasts a very long time. So no need to constantly spray yourself again and again. I was trying to get a good description of the scent but just couldn’t put it to words. My 11 year old daughter loved it and when I asked her to describe the scent she said “it reminds me of Friday nights. when dad is getting out of the shower and you have 5 maybe 6 minutes to get ready so you can go to your favorite restaurant.” Overall I would definitely recommend checking this one out. Wasn’t my favorite but I had 3 other people try it out and ... MoreSo I will say I don’t dislike the scent. It’s just very strong.

I love this perfume! It is so fresh - perfect for spring and summer, it reminds me of tropical weather in a rainy day. I think this is something I can use every day. It is not sweet or too feminine, which I appreciate. It creates a very classy style but not too overwhelming. This is why I love Hermes perfume so much. The scent does last very long but in a very united way. The scent does not spread out everywhere but stay in my clothes and skin, by the end of the day the scent still create a nice smell on my skin. I hate perfume that too powerful, that people can notice from far away, or smell in the car. This Un Jardin sur le Nil is perfect for me. Love !

Exact Match

Un Jardin sur le Nil is my favorite of the Jardin series. I was unhappy with the original because the citrus top notes fade so quickly, especially in the hot humid summer of Chicago. Then just the white florals are left. I knew Oil Perfumery does an excellent citrus, so I got their version. I am pleased with it. The citrus lasts throughout the entire wear. It is exactly what I wanted. Sometimes I layer them.

Hermes Jardin sur le Nil

I absolutely love this Hermes scent but after one bottle I couldn't justify the expense. Too much money for a notoriously fleeting scent. So I was galvanized to finally see Jardin sur le Nil here and immediately ordered the largest size OP offers, fingers crossed. It's perfect. It's all there for me, the full unusual aqueous green sharp floral scent, the longevity, the soft cloud surround, the price, the glass bottle. Very happy. More than happy. I've made a couple blind purchases here that have not rung my chimes (fragrance being very personal and descriptions almost meaningless to the actual experience), but this was a known scent and OP totally aced it.

Jardin sur le Nil

Very excited to see this offered at long last. It's a unique and wonderful scent but like many from Hermes, it's expensive with less than stellar longevity. So I crossed my fingers and bought the larger volume. And...this version from OP makes me extremely happy. Everything's there, the aqueous green notes, the sharp floral, the soft cloud, but with much better longevity and price. I've had plenty of misses trying unknown scents based solely on their descriptions (alas), but this was a known scent and OP nailed it. Beyond happy.

Perfect for Summer!

Hermes has the market on fresh, aquatics cornered, in the best way. Though technically a designer fragrance, the quality is always more along the lines of niche. The scent stories are always imaginative, different and (until copied by everyone else, which is truly the highest compliment) bespoke. This one is no different. The mango steals the show in the best way and the longevity is quite surprising for an eau de toilette. Highly recommended.

Wasn’t expecting that scent from years past

I kind of liked it at first. Then I rubbed it in my wrists a bit more and you know, it kind of smells like what a new series book from middle school smells like. That was just my first thought! There’s a first note that smells sweet like the (plastic like) cover of the book and then a faint woodsy smell. Yes, I found this odd, random yet sentimental...it’s probably just me but this is my honest opinion. I’m kind of on the fence about it!

lasting scent

I’ll start by saying this scent was not for me. It has a very strong scent. One spray and you’re good for the day. It lasts a long time. Although I wasn’t fond of the smell, I did have multiple people say they did like it. I can’t really describe the scent other than strong like a cologne but with citrus notes that make it work for a woman also. I’d say check it out. It wasn’t my favorite but you might love it.I asked my 11 year old daughter to describe the scent (She loves it) and she said “it reminds me of Friday nights. When dad is getting out the shower and you have 5, maybe 6 minutes to get ready to go to your favorite restaurant.”
