L’Ombre Des Merveilles

L’Ombre des Merveilles, a Smoky Tea Oriental

Hermes L’Ombre des Merveilles is a smoky tea oriental. Our version keeps that feel, opening with black tea before an incense heart settles over tonka bean and amber.

The Story Behind the Scent

Hermes built L’Ombre des Merveilles around black tea and incense, all soft smoke and warm resins over creamy tonka. The idea was a quiet, refined warmth.

That smoky refinement is its appeal. The black tea keeps it soft and dry, the incense adds a warm, smoky heart, and the tonka bean and amber give it a creamy, smooth base. Our interpretation follows that same refined path.
