Reviews of Un Jardin Après La Mousson| Elzéard United KingdomShow all reviews | It has been a long time since I tried this fragrance. Without having taken a recording of my thoughts at the time, I ashamedly cannot present to you the list of notes which I perceived. But what I can categorically remember, is that I have no intention of ever trying this fragrance again as a means of being able to do so. 27th January, 2012. |
| the_good_life GermanyShow all reviews | Even fans of JC Ellena should pause and reflect on whether his acumen as a perfumer has not perhaps been diminished by too dogmatic a faith in the ideology of synthetic minimalism. Terre d'Hermès has proven what is possible, but I believe the Jardin series clearly shows the limits of this approach, as the grand nose's supposed gardens evoke nothing but sanitary and detergent products equipped with the default aromachemicals of functional perfumery. With Mousson this doomed enterprise hits rock bottom. Hermès has been known for making some of the most aesthetically repellent luxury wares ever (most of their ties are no sight for sore eyes), but the artisanry in terms of quality was always impeccable. Here, though, we have the banality of a melony aquatic, something Creed did (badly) as far back as the late 80s and which since has been regurgitated endlessly while sinking down to the lowest reaches of the $2,99 drugstore shelf - and M. Ellena's belated contribution to the genre would indeed sit proudly among air fresheners and shower gels.Perhaps he should visit more drugstores rather than travelling to Egypt or India for inspiration - it might convince him to get back to the drawing board and adapt his manifesto of perfume art to real-life olfactory contexts, rather than creating involuntary ready-mades. 26th January, 2012.

| sherapop United StatesShow all reviews | I've never regarded UN JARDIN APRES LA MOUSSON as very melony at all, certainly not compared to Hilde Soliani DOPO TEATRO MANGIAMI, which is all melon all the time. Although there is a detectable melon-like quality in the opening of this J.-C. Ellena Hermès jardin composition, the peppery vetiver swiftly takes over and dominates the composition, which to my nose is quite dry for most of its life—in contrast to what I would have expected to smell dans un jardin après La Mousson. 28th September, 2011. |
![]() Oh_Hedgehog United KingdomShow all reviews | With Après La Mousson, Elléna takes the Un Jardin series from the limp and inoffensive to the categorically lousy. A failure to exploit the jazzier possibilities here – cardamom, ginger, coriander, lime, pepper – and Ellena’s boasting of an especially loud cantaloupe note, means Après La Mousson is vapid and unpleasantly watery-sweet. This feels like it should be branded with the name of a female pop artist and consigned to the bargain bin. 1st August, 2011. |
![]() alfarom ItalyShow all reviews | A modern and minimal fragrance for spring/summer season. The opening is spicy and fresh with bitter orange, pepper, and a tiny note of melon. It rapidly turns into a woody phase then In the drydown I get a stronger melon with vetiver and hints of pepper and cardamom. Surely not a masterpiece or something I would never buy a FB of, but it's somehow nice. If you're into light aquatic scents this could be a good option as while beeing fresh it doesn't belong to the generic "sport editions" category. 11th April, 2011. |
