Which Should You Buy?
A quintessential green citrus-woody scent that conjures sunlit Mediterranean gardens. This is an elegant, understated choice for lovers of tranquil, natural freshness, perfect for spring and summer days.
HE90 nails the milky fig-leaf-and-citrus signature that made Un Jardin en Mediterranee a Jean-Claude Ellena classic, with reviewers calling it the best copy they've found, though the dupe's fig comes across a touch juicier and less austere than Hermes' drier original.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Its fresh citrus, green and cool woody notes shine in spring and summer, evoking Mediterranean gardens and clean air. The scent is not heavy or sweet enough for cold winter days, and its lightness is less suited to chilly weather.
Occasions
This is a subtle, airy fragrance with low projection, ideal for office or casual daytime wear. It is polite and refreshing, never overpowering, but may feel too understated for formal events or high-energy sports.
Seasons
A green, citrus-fig accord built for warm-weather, outdoor wear rather than cold-weather depth.
Occasions
Light and fresh enough for the office and casual summer days; too understated for formal evenings.
