If you are drawn to fragrances that tell a story, stir emotions, and leave a lingering, unforgettable impression, then Hermann is your perfect companion.

🌑 Scent Profile of Hermann A Mes Côtés Me Paraissait Une Ombre

Hermann is as complex and poetic as its name suggests. It opens with a burst of freshness that soon reveals darker, richer undertones—like stepping into a misty forest where sunlight barely pierces the canopy.

Olfactory Notes:

• Top Notes: Blackcurrant, Calypsone

• Heart Notes: Pepperwood, Rose, Geosmin

• Base Notes: Patchouli, Incense, Ambroxan

At first spritz, blackcurrant creates an immediate sense of brightness—tart, juicy, and full of life. But within seconds, it’s clear that this is no simple fruity fragrance. The calypsone brings a mineral, almost watery freshness, suggesting the mist that floats over a shaded landscape.

As the scent develops, the heart reveals its true character. Pepperwood adds a spicy, woody sharpness, while a delicate touch of rose offers just the faintest whisper of floral elegance. Geosmin—a molecule that smells of fresh earth after rain—grounds the composition in nature’s quiet, powerful beauty.

In the base, patchouli lends a deep, resonant earthiness, softened by the smoky tendrils of incense. Ambroxan rounds out the composition, giving it a soft, musky warmth that clings to the skin like a memory you can’t quite place.
