Etat Libre D’Orange Hermann A Mes Cotes

Hermann A Mes Côtés Me Paraissait Une Ombre by État Libre d’Orange is a dark, moody, and poetic fragrance inspired by Victor Hugo’s poem “Après la Bataille.” It plays with contrasts—light and shadow, presence and absence—making it a unique and introspective scent.

Fragrance Notes:

• Top: Galbanum, Black Pepper, Bergamot

• Heart: Incense, Rose, Caraway

• Base: Patchouli, Vetiver, Ambroxan, Musk

This fragrance is earthy, green, and slightly metallic, with an almost ghostly quality. The combination of incense, vetiver, and ambroxan gives it an ethereal, cool, and somewhat unsettling aura, making it ideal for those who enjoy atmospheric, avant-garde perfumes.
