A woody aromatic Eau de Parfum from Etat Libre d'Orange, composed by Quentin Bisch in 2015. Green, peppery top notes of pepperwood, galbanum and black currant give way to a rain-soaked heart of geosmin, rose oil and frankincense, then a mineral drydown of ambroxan, patchouli and vetiver. Atmospheric, unisex and quietly romantic - a true petrichor signature, rated 4.0/5 by the Fragrantica community.
Hermann a Mes Cotes — "Hermann at my side" — is a petrichor love story bottled. Raw, atmospheric, and quietly romantic, composed by Quentin Bisch for Etat Libre d'Orange in 2015.
Imagine walking through a forest just after rain, someone you love beside you. Green, peppery top notes open like storm-freshened air — pepperwood and galbanum with a dark berry shadow. Then the petrichor note: geosmin, the actual molecular scent of earth after rain, paired with rose oil and resinous olibanum for an intensely romantic, mineral heart. Ambroxan, patchouli and vetiver anchor the experience in warm, lasting depth.
Pepperwood · Galbanum · Black Currant

Longevity: 7 hours on skin. Sillage: Intimate to moderate — a trail of mineral-woody depth that stays close and lasts through the day without demanding attention.
Spring rain walks, quiet evenings, autumn gallery openings. Ideal for the wearer who values introspection, artistic identity, and the romance of natural phenomena over conventional sweetness.
Woody aromatic with aquatic-earthy depth. Unisex and literary, Hermann a Mes Cotes suits the creative, quietly confident individual who wears fragrance as a form of personal expression.
