Diptyque L'Ombre Dans L'Eau Eau de Toilette

Impressions from the branded samples of perfumed and toilet water. Both fragrances have a wonderful natural blackcurrant note, with the composition being slightly brighter in the perfumed water. Overall, the scents are very similar, with a slightly powdery base. They are very realistic, without any sourness or cat litter-like nuances, and they have decent longevity and a moderate sillage.

I blind ordered a miniature version and something struck me. I have a feeling that I will soon buy a full-sized bottle. This is a bunch of blackcurrant, blackcurrant squared. It's authentic, exactly how I remember it from my grandfather's garden. Both the leaves and the fruits, even the flesh.

No syrup, no compote, no nauseatingly sweet embellishments. It's the scent of a quiet, slightly dry and modest, yet no less vibrant summer. I love it.

I tried a sample of this product and I am unable to work afterwards. It has a relaxing effect and feels good on the skin.
