THE CREATION
L’Ombre des Merveilles is an interpretation in chiaroscuro, playing with contrasts. Created by Hermès perfumer Christine Nagel, the Eau de Parfum conjures up a world of light and shadows and invites you into a world of dreams and imagination.
OLFACTORY NOTES
In this woody and mysterious fragrance, the sensuality of the tonka bean and enveloping incense are highlighted by the depth of black tea.
BOTTLE
The emblematic bottle designed by Serge Mansau becomes a star-spangled magnifying glass in a deep, light-filled blue. The top of the spray is engraved with the house’s saddle nail seal.
THE EAU DES MERVEILLES CONSTELLATION
The final star in the Merveilles constellation, L’Ombre des Merveilles features the enchanting contrast of colours at the break of day. Since 2004, Eau des Merveilles has been a key that opens the door to the wonders of Hermès. From innocence to fantasy, from childhood dreams to femininity, it is a world where the extraordinary is brought into the light. Year after year, we are transported on an air of poetic enchantment. Captured in their round bottles resembling a magnifying glass, the fragrances have the magical power to see the world from new and marvellous angles. It is the key to wonders, the origin of stars in broad day light.
