The Story
L'Ombre Dans L'Eau is a poetic green floral that captures the scent of a garden after rain. Blackcurrant bud and galbanum create a sharp, leafy opening, while rose and jasmine add a soft, romantic heart. The base of musk and sandalwood grounds it with a subtle warmth. It's a fragrance that feels both wild and refined, like a secret garden.
