Worth the wait
At first spray out of my sample I thought: 'Meh...just another aquatic, not interesting, a bit masculine...' and already decided not te buy a bottle and to forget about it completely.
But little did I know that about twenty minutes later I would smell the most lovely, intriguing, summery, scent.
It even reminds me a little of my beloved and sadly discontinued L'Eau de Monteil! Not that it is similar, but it has that same DNA.
In the opening I feared a headache inducing note, but in the drydown that also was completely gone.
I will use my sample a bit more before I decide, but I can imagine me buying a full bottle in summer.
Longevity and sillage are good for a scent in this range, I still get whiffs of it now and then after spraying it five hours ago..

Eau du Citron Noir at Sea
Un Jardin sur La Lagune opens with a refreshing, sparkling lemon on my skin, not as ripe and juicy as in Eau du Citron Noir, but imparting an equally natural feeling. Unfortunately, this fresh, aromatic lemon's fate also mirrors that succulent ripe lemon in Eau du Citron Noir: quickly tainted by acrid, screechy woody amber aromachemicals. Here, they're not as smoky as in Eau du Citron Noir, but mainly to provide a dry, almost dessicated texture to a salty, slightly mineral note, in order to imitate the ambient aroma of sea water in canals and stone walls in Venice.

Although I do detect the delicious, jasmine tea-like redolence of pitosporum on the test strip, on my skin, the floral notes in La Lagune remain frustratingly vague throughout the whole development. Once the fresh lemon note completely disappears after about 2 hours, Un Jardin sur La Lagune then remains this abstract, slightly salty floral musk with an unpleasantly fuzzy undertone of woody amber aromachemicals. The later eventually take over after 5 hours and turn La Lagune into an amorphous woody amber musk, not unlike the far dry down of many current masculine perfumes centred around these popular woody amber aromachemicals.

Un Jardin sur La Lagune has a moderate sillage on me and is pretty tenacious thanks to its woody amber musk dry down, lasting almost 11 hours on my skin.

Although I can more or less see why these elements are chosen to recreate the imagery of hidden garden behind stone walls with wafts of sea water through the canals, the abstract combined effect doesn't smell convincing to me. I guess this rather atmospheric treatment aims to be coherent with the rest of Les Jardins series, but the problem for me is that, while those scorching woody amber aromachemicals and inorganic-feeling mineral notes can work magic when they're cleverly disguised within other notes or when they're surrounded by vivid details, they often appear very artificial to me when they're laid out bare or without enough intricate details to smooth out the edge, which is more or less what I perceive in Un Jardin sur La Lagune. Because of the noticeable presence of woody amber aromachemicals and a resulting more harsh texture, I'd recommend it to those who enjoy Eau du Citron Noir and are interested in a slightly marine twist, rather than those who enjoy the previous entries of Les Jardins series.

Wow wow
Sur la Lagune certainly has an interesting start. A very blue-ish style sea notes, which is more of a general freshness than the ocean itself. It actually sort of reminds me of how the men’s fragrance Luna Rossa Ocean starts.

Except this one is way fresher in how it comes across and has a strong magnolia note, right from the get go. But, even stronger at the beginning is the Madonna lily. That’s already a powerful floral note, with the blueish notes backing it, the flower seems massive.

It comes across as kind of powdery within that watery vibe, which is why it reminds me of the Prada cologne.

Pittosporum is apparently a type of shrub that produces an aroma similar to orange blossom. I do pick up something similar in smell to orange blossom. Not too strong, I don’t really have an experience with this note, but that’s as close as I can get.

As this dries down, it’s a white floral soapy aroma. Very clean with a bit of dry wood in the base, some salt, and just a generally cool feeling. Fresh soap bar is what I’m left with.

Venetian Drift
Un Jardin sur la Lagune is an extremely soft, enveloping fragrance. The sea-and-wood combination is fairly common in perfumery, but here the blend is simply incredible.

It’s like a sea breeze drifting over a wooden gondola. Inside, a large bouquet of white flowers has been placed, releasing delicately fruity (magnolia) and honeyed (pittosporum) notes. The whole composition is smooth, creamy, fresh, and deep. A sensual and soothing perfume, all at once.

I love it.

Come with me for a journey
After a thorough search for an uplifting but at the same time sensual fragrance for warm days I arrived at "Un jardin sur la lagune".

The garden:
at first spray there is an elegant lemony facet, I will have to distinguish lemony from citrus-y here, because this lemon is not fizzy or sharp. It is a white floral-infused, delicate lemon, the reason being that it comes from the lemon-nuanced petals of the magnolia. Very soon the white floral aspects intensify as the pittosporum with its jasmine shades appears and blends with the magnolia. The lily is not that obvious to me.

The lagoon:
about the marine accord, there is a sea breeze aura that captures the scents of the lemony magnolia and pittosporum and spreads them around you. Again this aura is different from other marine notes I've encountered, it's not that salty, it feels like sun rays reflecting on the sea and like the wind that has captured salt and sand at the same time.

And then as time soothes the "edges" and warms the blend the woody, aromatic base gives to the blend another dimension. Through all its wear there is a scent you get in the surface and another one coming from somewhere deep. I applied the perfume the night before and could not stop getting wafts of a multidimensional aromatic blend as I was waking up this morning.

This is an amazing fragrance. Definitely has the Hermes DNA, a bit of Caleche edt in here too, it is elegant, long lasting and worthy of its name which makes me dream of places with light blue waters, mediterranean flowers and gardens near the coast not as I have seen them or even smelled them but as I imagined them as a child.

I really hope there are people that will get what I am getting from this.

A very well-balanced aquatic: sea air meets soft white florals. Perfect fresh daytime scent for hot weather. Worth the price? I'm not sure.

I smell very little of sea breeze and quite a lot synthetic florals. Almost like a lily-of-the-valley was here. Not my favorite Un Jardin.

The opening with the blue-ish aquatic vibe and the Madonna lily is my favorite part and where I feel that this one stands out. It really pop

It's basically a finished product featuring the novel accord showcased in EdM Bleue. The white florals appear uncommonly soft, almost nutty.

Aquatic floral with a woody base that reminds me a lot of Acqua di Gioia. Lovely, but not worth the extra cost relative to AdG.

100% feminine fragrance, very similar to some that my mother wore a decade or more ago. This floral-marine combo is not to my liking at all

A light and refreshing delight to wear in the hottest days, soft and feminine but quite evanescent. Very refined the bottle. High price.
