A green and beige and white dream...
[...]
I am somewhere in a foreign country, in a foreign place, in the middle of a big city with a foreign culture, foreign people, foreign buildings, foreign cars...
It is very warm, the sky as blue as the sea, the sun as strong as if it shines only in this unknown and mysterious place... The people around me wear light clothes: Pretty women with beautiful colourful dresses, stylish sandals, cool big designer sunglasses, happily grinning while walking around... Attractive men in shorts and t-shirts, optionally chic shirts, sneakers or flip-flops on their feet, laughing in larger groups... Happy girls on their bikes and screaming boys - looking up and imitating the ronaldos and messis of this world - running after footballs on the street...

All of a sudden everything around me is green, beautiful big, stocky trees and a small pond are there, all alone and far and wide nobody in sight... I, dressed in beige chino shorts, poison-green V-neck sweater and white shirt underneath, stroll through this beautiful green, look at the pink petals of the trees, see a huge flock of migratory birds in the cloudless sky, hear nightingales and blackbirds on the trees chirping their melodious verses... I walk towards the pond and hum to myself... In the pond hundreds of cute little goldfish; with their bright orange mini-bodies they make the pond look like a sea full of warmth, joy, dynamics, energy, liveliness and optimism... I sit down on the meadow at the shore of the pond, look into it, notice how I get more and more tired and close my eyes...

That's exactly the dream I actually had last night. Originally I wanted to write a comment on this fragrance only later. But since the dream was so intense, I woke up immediately afterwards and could remember almost everything exactly, I had immediately after waking up to my mobile phone to not forget everything again quickly and thus be able to write this comment. Because there could not have been a better "moment"...
"Well, this can't be true; this dream fits to your Un Jardin sur le Nil", I said to myself and just started typing...
(Note: The evening before I had applied it, just for me. I wasn't planning to go out or do anything else outside anyway. As so often I read a book at home and simply enjoyed my peace and quiet and especially the scent).

The fragrance opens with a fruity mix of grapefruit and green mango. One immediately gets an appetite for a delicious fruit salad. Carrot and tomato tendril are added - clearly perceptible to my nose. This top note plays the main role and is in my opinion very present in the entire fragrance and smells good
The lotus is mainly responsible for the floral note. This gives the fragrance a slightly heavier floral touch and makes it quite beguiling in my eyes. The Indian calamus and peony add to the "green" and have a very characteristic smell, which makes the fragrance unique in its own way.
The incense in the base gives it a minimal spicy-balsamic undertone. This gives it the masculine nuance that completes this fragrance perfectly for me
It is best to wear it at temperatures between 20-30 degrees, because then it will show mMn to best advantage. During the day, as well as on very beautiful, lukewarm summer evenings it is super applicable.
On my skin it lasts 6h; the sillage is well perceptible in the first 3h, but then you can still smell it very well close to your skin.
Conclusion:
I don't know how else to put into words my admiration and enthusiasm for this wonderfully beautiful fragrance. But every time I wear it, I wish I could be beamed into a world just like the one in this unknown place from my dream...
I was so taken with this fruity-floral beguiling scent that I recently bought the large 100ml bottle (which had initially been bottled in a small bottle).
In terms of price, it is (regularly) a little above the three-figure range; yes, it is one of the more expensive designers, but it was definitely worth every single cent I worked hard for! Because with what the good Jean-Claude Ellena has put together here, a true work of art has been created in my eyes...
A dream in green, beige and white just ...
