Un Jardin sur la Lagune by Hermès Review

You can experience Venice in a scent, says Hermès, and it wants to do that with Un Jardin sur La Lagune. We say that it’s an attempt that has not been fully realized. The beginning is promising with its sparkling lemon note that stays on for about two hours. Not long enough after, this fades in the background for an annoying strong parade of woods and amber, and goes through an unremarkable drydown. This has moderate sillage and excellent staying power, but it matters little when we don’t enjoy the fragrance.
