THE CREATION
Created in 2019 by Christine Nagel, perfumer at Hermès, the Eau de Toilette Un Jardin sur la Lagune evokes a secret garden where time stands still. A fascinating place, hidden in the city of a thousand contrasts – Venice.
THE FRAGRANCE NOTES
The floral-woody Eau de Toilette Un Jardin sur la Lagune is based on luminous magnolia, enveloping clematis, and sensual Madonna
THE OBJECT
Designed by Fred Rawyler, the bottle is inspired by the lanterns of horse-drawn carriages of yesteryear. With its Venetian ochre color gradient, the glass of the bottle is reminiscent of the walls surrounding this garden. The packaging, designed by artist Safet Zec, is adorned with the lush nature that can be admired from the lagoon.
The Parfums-Jardins collection represents the encounter between the soul of a place, the inspiration of the perfumer, and the theme that Hermès chooses each year for its creations. It is an olfactory journey that fulfills all desires and longings: the longing for freshness, for reverie, and for escape from everyday life.
"I dreamed of this garden. I have combined its memories, the trees and flowers that have grown there one after the other, and the nature that still characterizes this place today, in a perfume." Christine Nagel, Hermès perfumer
A door opens a crack and a dream escapes.
Un Jardin sur la Lagune is a secret garden that nature has reclaimed. Woody scents mingle with floral notes. The wind carries salty notes with it.
