India’s monsoon season stretches the span of a few months. From June to September, the rainfall is severe, and it is enough to quell the heat that is felt for months at a time. The rainfall restores the life to the nation, and the burning subsides. This is precisely the inspiration for this Hermes fragrance that was released in 2008, and the inspiration is perfectly expressed through contrasting spicy and fresh ingredients. The medley of spices includes ginger, cardamom, and pepper. The freshness is conveyed through water notes, citrus notes, and vetiver. The various notes and accords match rather than clash, and the necessity for the duality is made apparent. When the rain subsides, the anticipation builds. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and our outlook is optimistic. Before long, the anticipation is satisfied, and the sun’s rays are felt again. Anticipation is our inspired expression of Hermes’ Un Jardin Apres la Mousson, and this olfactory trip takes you along a different artistic interpretation of a garden. Unique notes of white ginger lily and coriander create a fragrant profile that stands apart from other fragrances you may have tried. Anticipation is a fantastic woody spicy fragrance you must own!
