HERMÈS UN JARDIN SUR LA LAGUNE : PERFUME REVIEW

Of course, should one search for salt in perfume, one can do no better than to explore the whole Hermès collection. Eau des Merveilles is one of the best salted ambers. Un Jardin sur le Nil salts green mangoes. Voyage d’Hermès starts pickling bergamot and leaves a salt trail well into its drydown. Hermès Un Jardin sur la Lagune is very much in the same tradition. It’s a cologne based on citrusy flowers and finished with a briny accord. The place is Venice, the flowers are magnolia and Madonna lilies, the effect is salt and sunlight.

Unlike traditional colognes, however, Un Jardin sur la Lagune has a soft citrus note, và so the first impression is of orange blossoms (dark indoles includes) and green leaves. It reminds me of café blanc, a Lebanese drink of water mixed with orange flower distillate. While the floral accord in the composition has the spice of lilies and the lemony verve of magnolia, for me, the orange blossom impression is pronounced.

Later as the orange blossom melds into magnolia, the salty, briny notes appear. Some of you will say that it smells of melon, & those of you who will observe a similarity lớn L’Eau d’Issey will be likewise spot on. The marine notes in Un Jardin sur la Lagune are subtle enough, however, and they only serve to highlight the softness of petals và the delicacy of the composition.

With time, the flowers wear out & so does the sweetness. The salty impression lingers, along with the green wood shavings và musk. The finish is less thrilling than the opening, but it doesn’t distract from the overall appeal of the perfume. Simple, elegant, easy lớn wear. Yet, I’ll be frank–it may not be a good choice for those of you who dislike marine notes. Or who, unlike me, don’t have a soft spot for L’Eau d’Issey.

I also predict that it will appeal more lớn men than women, since the drydown veers towards the fresh “sports cologne.”

Hermès un Jardin sur la Lagune includes notes of magnolia, lily, samphire, và woods. Suitable for both men & women. As for sillage, it’s excellent, although because the character of the composition is delicate, its presence won’t overwhelm. The lasting power is likewise very good for a cologne, around 5-6 hours.
