L'Ombre dans l'Eau
L'Ombre dans l'Eau by Diptyque is a feminine-leaning eau de toilette from 1983 in the premium price tier. It opens with blackcurrant and mint, moves into damask rose and bulgarian rose and dries down to musk and cedarwood. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
- Mint Cold and tingly. Great in small doses, toothpaste in large ones.
Heart
- Damask Rose The rich, jammy, honeyed rose. Deep and slightly wine-like.
- Bulgarian Rose Fresh, dewy and green. The 'real rose garden' version.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
