The fragrance's story and background 

Un Jardin sur le Toit reveals the existence of a secret garden, hidden away in the heart of the City of Light, Paris. This corner of nature can be found on the roof of the Maison Hermès, at 24, rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré. Imagined by perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena in 2011, this fragrance is a tribute to this garden of pleasure and celebration. The bottle, designed by Fred Rawyler, draws its inspiration from the shapes of vintage car lanterns. The glass of the bottle glows a bright, radiant green. The illustration of this garden on the case is signed by Philippe Dumas, a member of the Hermès family, offering a panoramic view of the city.
