Interesting and quite light in the end
I was expecting something dense and damp given the reviews, but in the end it is quite light, wearable in summer for me

Details on Etat Libre d’Orange Hermann à mes Côtés me Paraissait une Ombre
Who goes beside you into the forest on the darkest night? In Victor Hugo's poem, the narrator says 'by my side, Hermann seemed to me like a shadow.' This enigmatic fragrance embodies the concept of our alternative self, our constant companion in life's journey. It's a sophisticated blend that explores the duality of presence and absence, light and shadow, through a masterful combination of spicy, smoky, and green notes.

How does Etat Libre d’Orange Hermann à mes Côtés me Paraissait une Ombre smell?
Opens with a sharp burst of black pepper and green galbanum, softened by blackcurrant buds. The heart reveals a mystical blend of frankincense and rose absolute, enhanced by the earthy petrichor effect of geosmin. The base settles into a modern combination of ambroxan, vetiver, and subtle patchouli.

One of my favourite ELDOs
Smells melancholic and slightly synthetic, but is certainly one of my favourite rose scents. Smells somewhat smoky, and for me, a rather unisex rose perfume. Sillage and Longevity could be better tough

To me it comes off as a funeral scent, overcast skies, roses, dirt, soil and incense. The name is a line from a Victor Hugo poem.
