Un Jardin Sur Le Toit: A Marvelous Orchard

Un Jardin Sur Le Toit by Hermès
Aromatic Fruity
Jean-Claude Ellena

Un Jardin Sur Le Toit “A Garden on the Roof” was launched in 2011 and was inspired by the one and only Hermes garden at 24 Rue Faubourg Saint-Honore in Paris. To my nose, it is an easy breezy green fruity scent yet elevated and grown-up. Hermes perfumes are pretty underrated in my opinion. What do you think?

Anyway. I picked it up based on quite a different agenda though. I have heard a rumour that it smells like freshly cut grass in hot weather. I love cutting grass, it is an activity that has an instant positive result by the way; but most importantly, I adore the smell. I enjoy Sur Le Toit very much. It is a great refreshing option for summer; however, I do not get the grass thing. It does not smell like cut grass, at least not to me. It is a much more approachable smell, I get the apple, a red one thanks god, and rosemary.

It is a lovely option age regardless. The fragrance is unisex as all the Jardins are; however, my husband said that he likes it a lot on me but he would not wear it. He thinks it is too sweet and light for him.
