Diptqye - L'Ombre Dans
Ormaie - Le Passant
Had to go downtown today and on the way home did a bit of sampling. Wound up trying Diptyque L'Ombre Dans EDP on skin and later the Ormaie.
LOD is a nice green rose scent, but didn't really do it. That's always the issue with Diptyque for me, so many that are almost great.
Le Passant on the other hand really struck me, basically a niche Caron Pour un Homme. Apparently using all natural ingredients. I can believe it based on how it smells, but thankfully it also has good, if a bit close, performance.
Really nice, a bight fresh lavender, with light vanilla in the back. Very aromatic, but not overly medicinal to my nose, it manages to feel light and airy for what it is. There's a very retro vibe, and makes me think how PuH would have felt back when it was originally released. The quality of ingredients is really outstanding.
Sadly it's price is less than nice, so maybe one day.
