THE INSPIRATION Founded in 2019 by Hermès perfumer Christine Nagel, Un Jardin sur la Lagune Eau de Toilette captures the essence of a hidden garden where nature has thrived over time. This enchanting location can be found within the contrasting beauty of Venice. FRAGRANCE PROFILE Un Jardin sur la Lagune reveals a splendid floral and woody blend, featuring radiant magnolia, comforting pittosporum, and alluring white lilies. THE DESIGN The bottle, crafted by Fred Rawyler, draws inspiration from the elegant lines of vintage cars. Its glass showcases a soft Venetian ochre hue, reminiscent of the garden's encircling wall. The box, decorated with a vibrant painting by artist Safet Zec, reflects the rich natural beauty observed from the lagoon. THE GARDEN SCENT SERIES The Garden Perfumes series serves as a fusion of the unique character of a locale, the inspiration behind the scents, and the annual thematic focus chosen by Hermès to highlight its creations. This aromatic adventure encourages appreciation for every shared moment, nurturing a desire for freshness, evoking dreams, and prompting escape. "This garden was born from my dreams. I have crafted a fragrance interwoven with its memories, encompassing the flora that have flourished there and the enduring beauty of nature," says Christine Nagel, perfumer for Hermès. An opening awaits; through it slips a dream. The garden by the lagoon remains a sanctuary where nature reclaims its space. Earthy aromas blend harmoniously with floral notes, while hints of salt gently waft in from afar.
