ETAT LIBRE D'ORANGE Hermann

Hermann à Mes Côtés Me Paraissait Une Ombre
Who walks beside you into the forest on the darkest night?

Inspired by Victor Hugo’s poem What Two Horsemen Were Thinking in the Forest, this fragrance is an exploration of the shadow self — your invisible companion, your conscience, your other half. Sometimes it challenges you, sometimes it comforts you, but it never leaves your side.

In Hugo’s verse, the narrator rides alongside Hermann through a dark forest, their conversation drifting between life and death, hope and despair, the living and the departed. This duality is mirrored in the perfume itself — light and shadow, warmth and coolness, freshness and depth.

Like a whispered dialogue between two souls, Hermann lingers with mystery, urging you to confront your thoughts, question your truths, and embrace the presence that walks with you, always.
