HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
À L’Ombre by Robert Piguet, launched in 2024 and composed by Hamid Merati-Kashani, is a captivating Oriental Woody fragrance that dances between sweet and earthy notes. The composition opens with pear and apricot, creating a bright and inviting top accord. This freshness gives way to the heart of orris root, jasmine sambac, violet leaf, and sage, which adds a lush and slightly powdery quality. The base notes of caramel, vanilla, oakmoss, haitian vetiver, patchouli, musk, and amber create a warm, enveloping finish that feels both cozy and sophisticated.
À L’Ombre has a rich base that takes time to bloom, so apply it liberally to pulse points for a long-lasting effect. The top notes are fleeting, but the heart and base notes linger well into the evening.
