An iconic fragrance from Diptyque, l'Ombre dans l'Eau is available as an eau de toilette and an eau de parfum and is based on a very strong fruity note, particularly blackcurrant. Rose petals and the freshness of blackcurrant berries combine in a fragrance that intoxicates us: the grassiness of the blackcurrant leaves, the fruity acidic accents and the floral intensity of the rose offer a break in nature that we savor without moderation.
An eau de toilette strongly composed around the blackcurrant bud, with a gaiac wood and musky effect, while the eau de parfum is sweeter with powerful notes of raspberry.
The pitch is very similar to an impressionist painting by Gustave Courbet: "the scent of a green garden by the water". The first impression is very green (tomato leaves, blackcurrant buds, galbanum - an herb from Iran). It announces the arrival of a fresh, petal-like rose, growing on a woody-chypre background that is reminiscent of reminiscent of the smell of undergrowth in the summer sun. There is no melancholy in this harmonious composition bathed in a halo of gaiety and joie de vivre. At a time when people are talking about naturalness without really knowing what it means, here is a concentrate of naturalness and vegetal humidity that gives the impression of opening the windows wide. This great classic from Diptyque is a snapshot of "real" nature to be worn on the skin to feel even more alive.
Diptyque
The brand was founded in 1961 by three singular personalities united by a strong aesthetic alchemy: Christiane Montadre-Gautrot, Yves Coueslant and Desmond Knox-Leet. Fed with a common passion for drawing, they start creating motifs for fabrics and wallpapers, and decide to open their first shop with two entrances (like a diptych) in Paris, Boulevard Saint Germain.
