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.

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.
