Hermès L'Ombre des Merveilles Eau de Parfum 100mL

Hermès L'Ombre des Merveilles smells dark, smoky and softly sweet. Black tea opens dry and a little smoky, incense gives the heart a calm resinous depth, and tonka bean rounds the base with warm, sensual sweetness that stays close to the skin.

The key notes in Hermès L'Ombre des Merveilles are black tea, incense and tonka bean. The black tea provides a dry, smoky richness, the incense adds depth and a mysterious character, and the tonka bean brings sensuality and a gentle sweet finish.

Hermès L'Ombre des Merveilles is a woody, smoky amber fragrance. That means dry tea and incense sit over a warm tonka base, so it smells shadowy and comforting rather than fresh, sparkling or floral like the original Eau des Merveilles.

Hermès L'Ombre des Merveilles is an Eau de Parfum in a 100mL bottle. The parfum concentration gives the tea and incense good depth and a lasting trail, and the large size is practical for anyone who wants to wear it often through the cooler months.

Hermès L'Ombre des Merveilles is best suited to autumn and winter, and to evenings, dinners and quiet occasions. The smoky incense and tonka feel comforting in cool air, though a light touch also works for mild spring days.

Hermès L'Ombre des Merveilles suits people who enjoy tea, incense and soft woody scents, regardless of gender. If you want a bright citrus, sweet gourmand or clean floral perfume, its smoky, introspective character will probably feel too serious.

Yes, Hermès L'Ombre des Merveilles is a thoughtful gift for someone who loves understated, smoky fragrances or already owns Eau des Merveilles and wants a darker companion. The 100mL Eau de Parfum is a substantial present for birthdays and winter gifting.
