LE JARDIN DE MONSIEUR LI eau de toilette spray 100 ml

**THE CREATION** The Eau de Toilette Le Jardin de Monsieur Li captures the essence of a Chinese garden, existing in a delicate balance between reality and fantasy. It serves as a sanctuary for meditation, where leisure and contemplation harmoniously intertwine. Perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena narrates the tale of a fragrance abundant with floral and aqueous notes, trees, and rocks. **OLFACTORY NOTES** Floral and botanical, the Le Jardin de Monsieur Li Eau de Toilette presents a beautiful blend of exquisite jasmine sambac, tangy kumquat, and vibrant bergamot. **THE OBJECT** The bottle, crafted by Fred Rawyler, draws inspiration from the elegant lines of vintage car headlights. Its glass is enlivened by a gentle yellow gradient, symbolizing the imperial color in Chinese culture. The case features an exquisite ink illustration by artist Li Xin, showcasing a myriad of anthracite shades. **THE PARFUMS-JARDINS COLLECTION** The Parfums-Jardins collection represents a synergy of locale, the perfumer's inspiration, and the annual theme selected by Hermès for its creations. It offers an olfactory journey that encourages one to savor each moment and indulge in a yearning for freshness, while dreaming and escaping the ordinary. “I recalled the scent of ponds, jasmine, moist stones, plum, kumquat, and towering bamboo. Everything was present, even the carp in their pond, patiently awaiting their centennial.” - Jean-Claude Ellena. Monsieur Li's Garden embodies the narrative of a Chinese garden straddling reality and imagination—a meditative haven where wandering thoughts converge, liberating every step of the imagination.
