Fragrance Profile
L’Ombre dans l’Eau (literally “The Shadow in the Water”) paints the idyll of an afternoon siesta beneath riverside willows. It opens with the cool shade of blackcurrant leaves—green, gently acidic, almost crushed-under-finger realistic—quickly kissed by the bud’s tangy fruitiness. Soon, a full damask rose drifts in, soft yet vivid, like loose petals floating on slow-moving water. Petitgrain brings a delicate, citrus-leaf breeze that lifts the bouquet and lets light dance across its surface. The result is a serenely green rose that feels both intimate and expansive: half dappled sunlight, half mirrored river, wholly spellbinding.

Perfect for

Lovers of green florals who crave an authentic garden-in-bloom experience

Lazy picnics, riverside strolls, or quiet reading nooks where daydreams linger

Anyone seeking a signature that begins with crisp foliage, blooms into velvety rose, and dries down to an elegant, verdant hush

L’Ombre dans l’Eau is romance bottled—a fleeting midsummer dream of roses and cool green shade, ready to unfurl with every breath.
