About this item
Hermes clearly wanted an actual waterside garden rather than a bottle with Un Jardin Sur La Lagune, lily and magnolia arriving bright and immediately floral from the very first spray. Woody notes and sea notes carry that freshness through the entire middle, calm and aquatic without the composition ever feeling scattered or thin. Pitosporum alone grounds the entire dry down, soft and green, letting the fragrance settle into something comfortable rather than overly complicated or busy. Daytime wear and quiet elegance both suit this aquatic floral Eau De Toilette especially well, evocative rather than abstract about its own watery, botanical concept. It genuinely reads like an actual lagoon garden rather than merely a bottled abstraction of one somewhere else entirely.
