Your conscience, your soul, maybe even your complementary ego. Your shadow could have a name, like Hermann. Or your shadow could be your perfume. This is your companion. You can argue with your companion, you can challenge your companion, you can test the boundaries of your own attitudes.

Who goes beside you into the forest on the darkest night? In Victor Hugo's poem, “What Two Horsemen Were Thinking in the Forest”, the narrator says “by my side, Hermann seemed to me like a shadow. ”

HERMANN A MES COTES ME PARAISSAIT UNE OMBRE

The night was so black and the forest very dark. By my side, Hermann seemed to me like a shadow. Our horses were galloping. Guardians of god! The clouds in the sky looked like marble. The stars flew through the branches of the trees Like a swarm of firebirds.

We believe fragrance is a work of art, blending creativity with an unwavering dedication to quality, thus offering a journey of sensory liberation and bold innovation. Join the Orange revolution and continue to break boundaries with us, through expression.

LIBERATED
A perfume house that promotes freedom of expression– with its singularity, its sincerity, unexpected, sometimes ironic, often subversive, and always elegant.

AUDACIOUS
To extend the confines of perfume, to overcome the forbidden, to break the rules. To rebel. Juices that are designed to disturb, to touch, to tempt, to seduce.

AUTHENTIC
We love the attitude of being on the borders. On one side we have seriousness and on the other side we have radical nonsense.
