Amber Woody
Perfumer: Christine Nagel
Let’s start with the fact that L’Ombre Des Merveilles is a unisex fragrance. The black tea opening is harsh and masculine. After a while, incense and tonka come through. It is especially the tonka bean that balances the scent and gives it a warmer, feminine and spa-like character. Although I drink a cup of black tea every morning, it is not an ingredient I enjoy smelling on myself.
I like the inviting tonka dry-down; but nevertheless, I want to love a fragrance from the begging till the end. L’Ombre Des Merveille is a quality aroma, relatively easy to wear, unique, equally suitable for both sexes but not a sweetheart from head to toe.
This scent could be easily named Black Tea & Tonka d’Hermes. Unisex and unique.
