Hermès Le Jardin de Monsieur Li Eau de Toilette feels like a tranquil garden sketch brought to life, where bright citrus glows against soft florals and a breath of green. Kumquat sparkles at the opening, jasmine drifts in like petals over water, and a gentle vegetal freshness keeps everything luminous and calm. The result is serene, polished, and quietly uplifting for everyday wear from warm afternoons to cool evenings.
Launch and Perfumer
Launched in 2015. Perfumer Jean Claude Ellena.

Kumquat, Jasmine, Mint. bergamot
Story and Positioning
Conceived as an olfactory stroll through an imagined Chinese garden, Monsieur Li pairs airy jasmine with citrus brightness and a dewy green nuance to evoke wet stones, water, and quiet greenery. It sits within the Hermès Jardins collection, alongside creations like Un Jardin sur le Nil, Un Jardin sur le Toit, and Un Jardin à Cythère, offering a refined, refreshing signature for those who enjoy elegant citrus florals with a modern, minimalist touch.
Bottle and Design
The lantern inspired flacon by Fred Rawyler carries a delicate yellow gradient that nods to imperial yellow. The box is adorned with a flowing ink river artwork by Li Xin, tying the story to the presentation. The bottle rests comfortably in hand and sprays in a fine, even mist for an elegant application ritual.
