Launched in 2015 by Etat Libre d'Orange, Hermann à mes Côtés me Paraissait une Ombre is a Woody Aromatic fragrance created by Quentin Bisch. This daring composition opens with the crisp and fresh notes of galbanum and black currant, leading into an earthy heart where rose oil and patchouli create a compelling contrast. The base notes of vetiver and ambroxan bring warmth and depth, grounding the scent in a richly layered texture that is both unexpected and captivating.

Application Tips
Apply sparingly to avoid overwhelming the nuanced layers. The rose and patchouli need time to develop, so a light spritz will allow these elements to unfold gradually throughout the day.
