Note: This is a promotional gavroche that was given to the press for the launch of  Un Jardin Sur Le Toit fragrance in 2011. As far as I know, it was never available for sale to the general public, but who knows, it may change one day. Dumas also designed the drawing on the packaging of the fragrance but the drawings on the gavroche and the box are not exactly the same. See box drawing below:

For another promotional gavroche for the launch of a H fragrance, check out Amazone gavroche.

Note from seton: 1957 is the date I got from Hermes altho the design looks like older Grygkar to me in terms of rendering and composition. Just wanted to mention that.

From hermes.com

“Is this a horse decorated with scarves, a figure in a cubist painting, or is the animal clad in a full coat of armor? In fact, the A Cheval Sur Mon Carré scarf is a composite of many silk Hermès scarves to provide the steed with this beautiful ceremonial attire. It reminds us of certain medieval illuminated manuscripts or of Japanese engravings depicting horses swathed in brocade. All chosen for their equestrian décors, these signature scarves recount the history of the Hermès and symbolize its tradition over the years. Perhaps you will recognize the designs:  - “Carrousel”  by Christiane Vauzelles - “Saumur” - “Les Courses” by Yvan Benoîst-Gironière - “La Ronde des Jockeys” by Françoise de la Perrière”

 Note: 2006 issues are tonal in colouring.    2012 issues are more colourful and the “horse” features a rainbow tail.
