What does Hermann à mes Côtés me Paraissait une Ombre smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer not far behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear; most voters read it as masculine or modern, though a fair share find it feminine.

It opens with blackcurrant bud, black pepper and galbanum. The heart brings rose absolute, geosmin and frankincense, with an aquatic, earthy feel. Vetiver, ambroxan and patchouli settle underneath as a woody, slightly smoky base. Quarzgrau and Eau des Îles have a close profile.
