Dark River Rose No. 02 — Inspired by Diptyque L'Ombre Dans L'Eau Eau de Parfum (2012)

A deeper and more sensual interpretation of rose and blackcurrant. Tart cassis and crushed leaves frame a fuller rose heart, while the darker woody-musky base gives the composition more evening presence.

Fragrance Notes

Top Notes

Blackcurrant buds, bitter green leaves and petitgrain. The opening establishes the fragrance’s first burst of freshness, greenery, fruit or spice.

Heart Notes

Dense rose petals and cassis fruit. This middle stage reveals the main identity of the scent once the opening begins to settle.

Base Notes

Earthy woods, musk and a shadowy resinous trace. The drydown provides depth, texture and the longest-lasting impression on skin and clothing.

Overall Scent Summary

A deeper and more sensual interpretation of rose and blackcurrant. Tart cassis and crushed leaves frame a fuller rose heart, while the darker woody-musky base gives the composition more evening presence. Best worn during spring, autumn and cool summer evenings, especially for gallery visits, dinners and distinctive office wear.

Estimated Longevity

• EDT: approximately 6–8 hours on skin.
• EDP: approximately 8–10 hours on skin, with a richer base and stronger presence.

Longevity is an estimate, not a performance guarantee. Skin chemistry, weather, spray count and fabric can change the result.

Style & Wearing Guide

Pair with black tailoring, forest-green outerwear, silk shirts and polished boots. Use two to four sprays for professional or shared indoor spaces, and one additional spray for outdoor or evening wear.

Perfumer’s Note

“This interpretation keeps the recognisable olfactory idea clear while refining the transitions from opening to heart and drydown for practical modern wear.”
