Sombra – Eau de Parfum

D:SOL SOMBRA Eau de Parfum

When light and shadow become one

There’s a moment when the day pauses, when the sun kisses the horizon and light begins to whisper. That’s where SOMBRA begins – a fragrance like the anticipation of silent closeness, like a gaze that says more than words. Two shadows drawing near, quietly, almost shyly. Warmth lingers in the air, and the animalic-balsamic depth of oud blurs every clear feeling. You inhale – and find yourself in another world.

SOMBRA opens with a vibrant, almost electric freshness: yuzu, clementine, mandarin, pink pepper, and Timut pepper create a sparkling, spicy-citrus top note. At the heart, geranium rosat, Turkish rose absolute, saffron, and nutmeg unfold into a floral-spiced sensuality. The base – dark, leathery, and magnetic – is built on oud, tolu balsam, vetiver, and supple leather, settling onto your skin like a second, scented shadow.

The depth of twilight

SOMBRA is a unisex niche fragrance, an Extrait de Parfum that lingers in the liminal space between light and darkness. Its balsamic, smoky, and leathery facets offer warmth, mystery, and quiet seduction. The oud doesn't dominate – it invites. It grounds you without weighing you down. This is a scent for those moments when you don’t want to be seen, but felt.

If you're drawn to perfumes that combine leather, oud, and spicy florals in a smooth, sensual harmony, SOMBRA will follow you like a memory. It doesn't shout – it pulls. A scent that lingers even when everything else fades.

The perfumer: Marie Urban Le Febvre

SOMBRA was composed by Marie Urban Le Febvre, an independent French perfumer and graduate of the renowned ISIPCA in Paris. Her creations are known for emotional resonance, technical finesse, and a refined sense of structure. Living and working between Paris, Berlin, and Trieste, she blends cultural richness with olfactory clarity. In SOMBRA, she explores the interplay of shadow and warmth, restraint and seduction – a fragrance you don't just wear, but experience.

All ingredients are sourced from Accords et Parfums, the prestigious house in Grasse, founded by the legendary Edmond Roudnitska. His legacy lives on in every drop – tradition and innovation, blended with masterful care.

The night glows within – D:SOL MMXVI

With SOMBRA, Dennis Werner, founder of D:SOL MMXVI, opens the darker chapter of his sun-inspired collection. After TESORO and TERRAM celebrated light and earth, SOMBRA gives voice to the sensuality of nightfall. As always, Werner’s vision remains: minimalist design, emotional depth, and timeless clarity. The “D” stands for Dennis, “SO” for Sophie, “L” for Lynn – his daughters. Each fragrance holds memory, light, and life.

SOMBRA is the scent of twilight. For you. For the moments when everything melts into shadow – and in that softness, truth emerges.
