I was startled to sense so little rose. What I sense is a fresh, utterly green aroma of a privet hedge, ivy, and a mid-day forest edge. There is a soft floral undercurrent, but it is more...

I personally dont care for this, the smell reminds me of funeral flowers and cemetaries. VERY floral but the notes in it just remind me of one of those huge sympathy wreaths. Sorry, lol.

I really enjoy this rose! It is crisp, refreshing and happy. I love its green soapiness. Yet it is still very rosey on me. It is not a classic perfumey type rose scent. It is uplifting and...

Like many of the Diptyques, this starts with a blast of dry, startling, eye-opening incense on me, which dries down to a warm, green, and beautiful rosey frag. The concoction is dense and syrupy...

More than 2 years later my first encounter with L'Ombre dans l'Eau, my perception of it changed dramatically! In my previous review I wrote that I didn't like this scent, but still it had...

I totally agree with Maller's review below and her description of this as only marginally a rose scent. This is far closer to the crisp fresh green scents of Hermes' Un Jardin series than it is to...

Lately I've been craving green scents. Maybe it's because I'm not a floral gal; and so when the approaching spring sends others flitting to their La Chasse aux Papillions, the closest I get is a...

I must be extremely lucky but I do get a wonderful, the most true rose scent ever in this fragrance. L'ombre is quite cold and crispy while first applied, just like the true scent of blackcurrant...

Every time I try l'Ombre dans l'Eau, I get my hopes up. It starts off with such promising rose/clove/green notes, I think maybe this time it will work out differently. But each time, after ten...

As someone who practically grew up in a forest and loves the smell of fir trees and the outdoors, you would think I would be all over this one. However, I found it to be much too strong, even when...

I'm the swapper Wyrmiax mentions below who warned her L'Ombre Dans L'Eau is dense. A friend of mine even pronounced it "leaden" after applying perhaps too much. But with a light hand, this is...

Perfect rose, with crushed greens and berries. Glorious. However, the swapper I got it from warned me that it's "dense," and I found it too rich eventually. Like Ormonde, this is one I'd swoon over...

I'm not generally a "green" fragrance person, but this one was love at first sniff. L'Ombre dans l'Eau mostly smells like crushed leaves to me, with the tiniest hint of rose keeping it from...

I am almost certain that I reviewed this before, but for some reason, it says that I didn't. Regardless, this is an amazing and unique fragrance. It is extremely green and fresh, while still...

This starts out very interesting and smelling of tomato leaves - or at least, Burt's Bees tomato toner. When it dries, it smells like something akin to lipstick- rose-scented lipstick. I guess it's...

L'Ombre dans l'Eau - would that ombre be from the giant evergreens casting long shadows behind blackcurrant bushes and the tiny miniature rose bush at the river's edge? This is only marginally a...

An impulse buy that I don't regret. I smelled it in a shop while looking for a scent for my mother for her birthday and I just had to have it. L'Ombre is sweet but not sickly sweet like Lolita...
