The story behind the bottle.
Christine Nagel's Un Jardin Sur La Lagune, launched by Hermès in 2019, conjures the magic of a hidden garden on Venice’s lagoon. This Oriental Floral scent is vibrant and distinctive, blending floral notes like magnolia and Madonna lily with marine and woody accords to evoke the essence of a secret water-bound sanctuary. The fragrance transports you to an English Lord's mysterious garden, where salty sea breezes mingle with lush florals and woody undertones.
For best results, apply this EDT two to three times on pulse points. The marine top notes are fresh and fleeting, but they set the stage for the warm floral heart and woody base that bloom over time. It's perfect for a day out in cooler weather when you want a hint of mystery.
