Nostalgia perfume sunday afternoon review11/20/2023 ![]() Unlike some late musky drydowns, though, the musk here doesn’t take over, making this an increasingly silky, lusty whisper of a perfume. The drydown of L’Ombre dans L’Eau contains a deep muskiness. Perhaps that nondescript amber sweetness is more welcome in colder months. Through the latter two thirds of the 9 hours or so that this lasts, I find myself missing the first few hours dearly, with their perfect greens and rose. It makes me miss the greens and rose and go rooting for them in the powder, where there are still hints of what was there before, but they’re faint as a dream that’s failed to become a memory. It isn’t unpleasant, but it does get dull at times. It’s a touch of nondescript sweetness, like a cupboard holding an expired bottle of Dior’s Hypnotic Poison. ![]() It’s a sweetish, almost earthy, rooty sort of powdery accord that blends seamlessly with the fresh blush pink roses. Sometimes I get a sense of it much earlier in the scent, particularly outdoors. This accord creeps in out of nowhere, with nothing but a tiny touch of ambery warmth to warn of its arrival, so I honestly have no idea what it’s made of or how it’s done. It’s the fusty, dirty, sickly-sweet root powder smell that enchanted me in Perry Ellis’ Perry Woman, just toned down a bit. It’s missing that prickly texture of tricombs oozing neon green juice, giving you tomato hands stained with brown tar that doesn’t wash off for days.įrom 3 hours in and onward, something odd happens: the scent becomes almost powdery, in a rooty way, like orris root. This isn’t quite as zingy and realistic a tomato leaf note as in Hermès’ Un Jardin sur le Nil. ![]() It’s a bit cleaned up and perfume-y, sure, but it’s tidied up in such a way that blends in with the pink purity of the rose. No, this is a wet tomato plant through and through. It’s even fresher, snappier, greener than the typical black currant leaf, which often has a sort of dryness to it, stretching out paper-thin in the sun. On me, this is much more a tomato leaf note than it is a black currant leaf. It’s not bang-on realistic, but it isn’t watered down or coated in sugar. This is a decent black currant leaf (or cassis) note. I’m glad L’Ombre dans L’Eau abstains from trying to recreate the smell of the fruit (at least on me) and opts for leaning into the wet, green summer scent of the leaves. I’m picky, loving them as I do, but black currant scents are so often either over-sugared Ribena concoctions or squeaky clean body washes or both. Celebrate all day and all night with this fruity floral scent of refreshingly juicy berries, sparkling orange blossoms and relaxing cedar.I have yet to meet a fragrance that really does black currant right.
