A play on light and darkness

L’Ombre des Merveilles is a new fragrance by Hermès that seeks to find a contrast between light and shade. To do this, the ‘nose’ Chrisitine Nagel continues on her success of Eau des Merveilles Bleue and goes in search of the shadow of wonders in this new fragrance. To do this she uses a swirl of incense to break up the lightness while the tonka bean amplifies it and a pinch of black tea outlines the wood and reveals other lights. The result is a captivating scent with shadows that highlight the deep radiance of the world. The rocking bottle — which is flat on one side and rounded on the other — is created by Serge Mansau. The spray nozzle is engraved with the Hermès saddle nail seal — a tribute to its equestrian roots.
