Garden Idyll
From the entire Jardin range, Sur le Toit is the scent that most reminds me of "my" garden (actually my grandparents' garden). A typical Central European garden with creaky fruit trees, plenty of grass, a few flowers, herbs, and vegetable patches.
The opening of this garden is green and fresh. Perhaps it has rained before or a loving gardener regularly waters everything. The grass is definitely not dry. Shortly thereafter, juicy red apples join in. Fortunately, the scent does not turn into apple shampoos or gummy apple rings; it simply smells naturally fruity. Not too sweet, not too sour.
Up to this point, Sur le Toit feels light and airy, with nothing opposing the bright notes. With the heart notes, this changes; now slightly earthy notes are introduced as a counterbalance - or is it the bark of the old fruit trees that is fragrant? Whatever it is, I think it's great, as it creates some balance in the scent.
After the meadow, the fruit, and the trees have made their appearance, the flowers come in at the end. I perceive a lovely rose and clean magnolia, while the other notes never completely disappear.
Sur le Toit slowly fades after this visit to the garden. It lingers on the skin for a long time but becomes increasingly quieter.
For me, a very successful garden scent - green, fresh, natural, gentle, and somewhat nostalgic.

Reminds me of a shampoo my sister used to use. I thought the scent was great back then, even though it was my sister's :-)

I feel the same way about the scent, although in my perception, the fruity and green notes are more dominant.

The scent is dedicated to the rooftop garden of the Hermès headquarters in Paris. So it fits the Central European vibe. I once read that the rooftop garden was created during wartime to grow vegetables.
