Nudism for all the senses

Many perfumers are looking forward to Christine Nagel's new orange jardin. Clearly, her first composition to the popular series, the first offshoot of this for years. So what can "Un Jardin sur la Lagune" do?

It's a bold scent, but it's a little stinky behind its sisters. At least to my taste. And the fact that he is slowly but surely driving the great "Jardin apres la Mousson" off the shelves is a bad thing for me. "Jardin Lagoon" is a salty-human magnolia. That's the best way to describe it. It combines the masculine power of the sea with an expansive, almost dusty floridity. It definitely has more in common with an "Eau de Narcisse Bleu" than with the Nile Garden, for example. Nevertheless he tempts to head cinema and is not too far alien to the row with it. Especially with the yellow "Monsieur Li" he has enough in common. Only it wasn't a full hit either...

I see an island, a private sandy beach surrounded by dark rocks. The sun burns, the humidity is high, clothes are overrated. The air is heavy, breathing becomes slow, making love is only possible in slow motion. If anything. It's so humid. Relax, sweat, tropical relax. Chilling without will. The beads of sweat fall on the sand soaked by uniformly arriving waves. A garden of magnolias grows. Paradisiacal but somehow not natural. Seductive but somehow deceptive. Tasty but somehow poisonous. A little more nature and a little less magnolia would have been ideal for my taste. So it's only enough for one "good". Ellena can be satisfied, but certainly not overwhelmed.

Flacon: Hermes has found his style for years and you don't have to change it too quickly. Very nice!
Sillage: stronger than most of its sister fragrances. Do not underestimate and first of all discreetly dose.
Durability: one shovel more than in many other gardens. Seven hours.

Conclusion: Mrs. Nagel's first jardin is... needs getting used to. Floral and yet masculine, sexy and yet somewhat bland, exotic and dusty. This lagoon has its own spirit. But the certain little flower with the big M gets on my nerves quite quickly here...

The lagoon at the edge of the industrial park

Until now, I was firmly convinced that Hermès would bring above-average fragrances to the market. After all, the mark currently has a valuation average of 7.8 points. I also thought that the "Jardin" series would reveal some truly extraordinary creations. But unfortunately wrong thought or great disappointment with this rusty red lagoon branch. Although the name was as idyllic as the other fragrances in the series, I don't want to have or enter my garden with this red water lagoon.

The opening is relatively promising, because at the beginning one hears fresh citric notes paired with light aquatics and finely tart hairspray vibe. Could have stayed that way, but within a few seconds the lagoon garden turns into a lily- and magnolia-like garden, but with a lot of Calone on plywood, which is anything but successful. The hairspray note also drifts more into the unpleasant. I find the slightly salty note to be consistent with the theme, but it doesn't want to really funk either. And also here I thought that Christine Nagel would stand for a certain kind of quality.

Nope - this is not so much a lagoon as a big muddle with stale flower water, which didn't motivate me to spray the water during the test.

I'm afraid that's the least interesting Hermès water I've ever had under my nose.

...it's been a long time!

Last week I made a side trip to my regular perfumery again and sniffed a lot. Among other things 'Un Jardin sur la Lagune'....The 1st sprayer boa, thought this is an EdT from the drugstore market. But quickly the garden changed and I had to rummage in my memories for a long time: my school exchange to southern France. Well, we had nothing to do with learning, because Canet Plage and the French Mediterranean were only half an hour away by bus and the French boys weren't to be despised either.
On the beach there was a scent of magnolia blossoms, mixed with sun cream, wet bath towels and a lukewarm sea breeze. In between a breeze of sticky seed blossoms. There were lots of bushes there. Yes, this is exactly how uJsdL develops. It's got a really good shelf life. The next morning there was a slightly sweet smell on my wrist, the magnolia? I personally don't find it synthetic and it reminds me of a carefree time in southern France. A successful summer fragrance that has nothing in common with the classic Jardin fragrances. It's not as horrible as it's made here. Test it at warmer temperatures.

the small island paradise

Morning silence still lies over the lagoon, which is broken only now and then by the call of a water bird.
Many of them are still bobbing around sleepily; they look as if they don't know exactly if they want to start the day or if they are dreaming something else. That's why they paddle sluggishly through the almost standing wet.
For yet a fine gauze spider lies above the water. The towers and houses of the not-so-distant city seem shadowy in this light fog - as if they were floating.
But also the islands are not yet ready to open the curtain of the night completely: they only slowly face the first light of day.
However, this fine golden ray nevertheless begins, stubbornly as for eternities, to assert its claim quietly and successfully.

In this humid silence lies the scent of wood: of humid wood emanating from the small old rowing boat, which is now striving towards its destination in the lagoon with a steady beat.
From there, a green, garden-like island, this wood aroma mixes with that of the stacked wood piles, which lie in the sun near the simple investor to dry.
One day a new boat will be built out of it; built again with one's own hands, one's own knowledge of the power of water.

The more the sun fingers conquer the day, the more intense these two aromas become.
Also now the first soft breeze rises; the sea, beyond the narrow headland that borders the lagoon, greets our rower and the day with wet coolness.
The more the boat approaches the island, the more intense the scent of the green garden becomes: the longed-for coolness of the shady green announces its fragrant charm as a warm welcome.
Surrounded by his very own world of fragrances, green, spicy and still soaked in light moisture, he enters his paradise.
Only a few steps and the heart with the white wooden house is reached: it stands on the clearing, where everything blooms, surrounded by amazingly dense trees.
Spring morning holds a quiet court here: a hint of the last fine aroma of the waxy magnolia blossom floats above everything. It won't be long before they too will have to bow to the power of summer.
But she still weaves her slightly bitter sweetness with that of the enchanting white Madonna lily blossoms.
Their heavy, often intoxicating magic of the night is already somewhat weakened. Their crowns are already a little crooked, they seem tired.
This early hour does not call for opulence: the day is still young, it still feels its way easily towards what should and will become.

With "Un Jardin sur la Lagune", Hermès leaves it up to you to decide in which island world you want to find your own fragrant paradise.
The scents are so neutral: this garden could be almost anywhere.
It is worthwhile to follow this cleverly placed trail: it will not be a very long journey; the durability of this fragrance is not very pronounced.
Also, he certainly lacks the sophistication or elegance that is automatically expected from this brand.
Perhaps too much is simply expected, with each new composition the familiar, the classical is immediately called upon and thus the boy is immediately confronted with a mirror in which he cannot recognize himself at all.

"Un Jardin sur la Lagune" is too light, too much "water, island and garden" to stick long.
And yet on warm days, like this one and those that will follow, this spider's scent is a very pleasant companion.
The woody spice with the light sea breeze that caresses the skin, the green and the flowers of the garden give a feeling of cleanliness and lightness.
An extremely likeable island of fragrance is created here.

Deceleration

Parfumo would be less interesting if there were not such different scent tastes.
Un Jardin sur la Lagune seems to have few supporters here.
From plastic, hairspray, shoe polish, to brackish water and even worse descriptions can be read.

Well, I cannot understand this for me personally and would like to give the fragrance a boost.

Finally a fragrance for which there is no comparison in my collection and which has a recognition value.
For a long time I spontaneously felt not so well scented.
As has already been told here, it develops far differently on the skin in contrast to the paper strip. It happened to me the same way.

A few years ago I was in Venice on a very hot August day. I can still remember the blazing heat on the Markusplatz very well.
I do not have an association with Un Jardin sur la Lagune through my visit to Venice, but flowering gardens near the water can be found elsewhere Because of the slightly salty component I find myself easily near the sea. There is a slight holiday feeling, but I have no particular experience in mind that I could tell you about now.
The flowers quickly cover the green area, which is difficult for me, let it slide gently into the woody notes and I like that very much.

I feel like Therese. Found in my gnome pack, I use it all the time.
He gets a regular place with my other Hermès journeymen.
I don't like the comparison with Ellena, because all beginnings are difficult and creating something similar would not find supporters.
