A Unique Interpretation of Mystery and Warmth
Crafted by Hermès’ in-house perfumer Christine Nagel, L'Ombre Des Merveilles is an extension of the iconic Eau Des Merveilles line—but this time, it veers into uncharted territory. The name translates to “The Shadow of Wonders,” a poetic hint at the fragrance’s dusky, earthy soul. It’s built on contrasts: soft and intense, quiet and bold, mysterious yet intimate.

This is a scent that doesn’t conform to traditional gender boundaries. It is as compelling on a man as it is on a woman, designed for anyone who appreciates the sophistication of restraint and the beauty of shadowy depths.
