The latest addition to the storied Jardin collection, Un Jardin Sous La Mer, invites us beneath the surface of a tranquil sea. Released in 2026, this composition is a testament to the house's dedication to capturing the ethereal beauty of the natural world through a lens of refined luxury. Christine Nagel has crafted a fragrance that avoids the typical aquatic clichés, opting instead for a mineral-rich, sophisticated interpretation of the seabed. It is a scent that whispers of salt-crusted stones and the delicate, ghostly blooms that thrive in the quietude of the deep.
