Un Jardin sur le Nil, the more traditionally designed Parisian fragrance, was revolutionary in its own way. Seeking a higher profile in the lucrative perfume market, Herm s hired Jean-Claude Ellena, one of the professional ghosts who actually make the scents sold under designers names, to be its first-ever in-house perfumer.
