This is the perfume that I got most compliments for. Maybe it blends well with my skin... What I really like is its diversity. You wear it and after a couple of hours it's like another perfume. The...

This is undoubtedly the most beautiful, interesting, unique scent and I have re-purchased several times. I always get comments on it - clean, fresh, 'what is that perfume you're wearing? It's...

There's something virtuous smelling about++ this. It makes me want to clean. It's green, fresh, foresty, kind of like a scrubbed version of OJ woman minus the wildness and serenity and mystery....

I love this because there is nothing quite like it. On the VERY rare occasion that I have smelled it on someone (twice actually), it is unmistakable L'Ombre Dans L'Eau. It is startling. Fresh,...

Years back, when I first smelled L'Ombre dans L'Eau, I was put off by the specificity of its green notes and I avoided it for years thereafter. Given as black currant leaves, the green notes...

I love the Diptique candles and specially Baies. I bought the candle when I was only 17 and saved a year of allowance. And I never stopt bying the candle. After a few years I wondered if there...

A very nice oriental style perfume IMHO. There's rose and amber in it to my nose though I could be wrong - it just smells deep. Long lasting as is very important in fragrance especially expensive...

Great green rush to begin with, then a dirty rose.. I mean that in a good way. I can appreciate a beautiful rose scent, but to me it = old lady. This is not your grandma's rose perfume.

Ok, I should of stuck with the love of the candle version. I overdid it... and now I just smell like a cute little boutique. Less is more in this case.

This is rose, but also herbal in a very green, cyphre, bittersweet kind of way. Roses that are blended in with the smell of fallen autumn leaves. It almost seems like it has a hint of tomato vine...

I really liked L'Ombre Dans L'eau this spring; it was beautiful and feminine with a certain shade to it which, I feel, prevented it from becoming staid and placid. It stayed, as some previous...

It starts very sharp, almost painful. It's very green and floral, after some time it settles down and the green smells just damp and wet and the unidentified floral becomes a rose. It's very...

Mmmm... This should be a great scent for rose lovers, because the Bulgarian rose is absolutely TRIUMPHANT here. Yet, there isn't much more in it to give it some volume, and the smell stays linear...

First spray: Bitter acidic green. After 10 minutes or so it mellows into a beautiful crushed rose. Petals, leaves, and stems.

Diptyque is currently pulling some odd tricks on my nose. My first umpteen sniffs of L'Ombre were disturbing... I smelled sharp, dank, muddy, rosy, and green. This was offensive; I didn't want to...

I can see why Diptyque L'Ombre Dans L'Eau ($70) is described as a "riverside garden". No fruit at all, but that agrees with me as I absolutely loathe fruity scents. It is a floral scent, insofar...

L'Ombre dans L'eau ('Shadow Water') is a fragrance I would love for my collection. It's a watery -- almost ethereal garden of lush roses tall green grasses and wet earth.. It smells as lovely and...
