River Rose Shadow No. 01 — Inspired by Diptyque L'Ombre Dans L'Eau Eau de Toilette (1983)

A sharply green rose fragrance that recreates crushed blackcurrant leaves beside a cool riverbank. The EDT stays airy, tart and botanical, with rose appearing through foliage rather than as a sweet bouquet.

Fragrance Notes

Top Notes

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

Heart Notes

Bulgarian rose and fresh green stems. This middle stage reveals the main identity of the scent once the opening begins to settle.

Base Notes

Soft musk and damp pale woods. The drydown provides depth, texture and the longest-lasting impression on skin and clothing.

Overall Scent Summary

A sharply green rose fragrance that recreates crushed blackcurrant leaves beside a cool riverbank. The EDT stays airy, tart and botanical, with rose appearing through foliage rather than as a sweet bouquet. Best worn during spring and summer, especially for creative offices, garden lunches and quiet daytime dates.

Estimated Longevity

• EDT: approximately 4–6 hours on skin.
• EDP: approximately 6–8 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 white shirts, moss-green knitwear, linen trousers and understated silver accessories. 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.”

FAQ
