Un Jardin sur la Lagune
Hermès imagines the fragrance of a garden on a lagoon. Perfumery is a vast universe that does not merely invent scents but rather aims to send our imagination wandering.

Where to buy
While some essences evoke the image of a person, others draw on a distant memory, a particular event or a comforting place. Perfumers all have their own little methods for sparking creativity, and Hermès is no exception in this regard. Since 2003, the house has been inviting us into sumptuous gardens, through a fragrant collection that keeps growing. In this year 2019, this range is expanding once again. This time, Hermès takes us into Un Jardin Sur la Lagune.
Un Jardin Sur la Lagune, a sun-kissed, maritime fragrance
Unlike the previous fragrances in the Jardins d’Hermès collection, Un Jardin Sur la Lagune does not have a very clear geographic origin. After all, does anyone really know which lagoon this is? Is it one of the most beautiful lagoons of Venice? Or has Hermès decided to take us to Australia, to the famous Lake Glenrock? No one really knows! The only undisputed fact is that Un Jardin Sur la Lagune by Hermès is a soothing fragrance, one that carries us close to a marine current. Indeed, a lagoon is by definition a shallow body of water separated from the sea by a thin strip of coastline. Lagoons exist in many different places and change appearance from season to season.
Highly valued for the warmth of its water, the lagoon calls for calm. For now, the ingredients contained in Un Jardin Sur la Lagune have not been revealed by the house. This fragrance, created by Christine Nagel, nonetheless promises to be thoroughly relaxing. Presented in a bottle with a soft, orange-toned base, Un Jardin Sur la Lagune was photographed in the shade of a tree, on a beautiful summer day. This fragrance is as comforting as a nap at the foot of a linden tree on a beautiful summer day, its sleep further enhanced by the distant sound of sea spray. Far more than a simple fragrance, Un Jardin Sur la Lagune by Hermès is a moment of relaxation to give yourself every day.
The previous fragrances in the Jardins d’Hermès collection
Year after year, the Jardins d’Hermès collection has kept taking us to different places. Each of the fragrances that make up this range is an invitation to wander, leaving ample room in its formula for its plant-based side. Like all the fragrances in the Jardins d’Hermès collection, Un Jardin Sur la Lagune is intended for men and women alike. These fragrances have a gift for transporting us to a world of their own, where time no longer matters and where a heady sense of the senses takes over. In the same vein, Le Jardin de Monsieur Li came straight from China. Le Jardin Après la Mousson was conceived as nature reclaiming its place after intense rainfall. Le Jardin sur le Nil, for its part, plunged us into the heart of a lush Egypt. The Jardins d’Hermès collection is not simply an assortment of fragrances — it is more like a passport stamped in every corner of the globe!
