Hermann à mes Côtés me Paraissait une Ombre
A modern dark chypre: green, peppery, and mineral at first, then damp earth, incense, and a cool woody-amber shadow. It feels restrained, thoughtful, and quietly atmospheric. Best in cool to mild weather and in settings where a restrained, intellectual scent works well.
Perfumer: Quentin Bisch
