Christine Nagel is the perfumer behind this scent. A fragrance with an extraordinary brightness that is both woody and oriental. Woody and Oriental The sensuality of tonka bean and incense is accentuated by rich black tea overtones. Soft, sensual, and strangely hard to pin down It has a muted color palette compared to the rest of the Merveilles line, yet there's a dancing, shimmering effect going on within the midnight blue-ness of it all. Flashes of green fruit give lift to a low hum of cool black tea and murky amber I get glimmers of something sweet-herbal, like anise or basil, amid wisps of an abstract, almost deconstructed incense. And is that something pink-white and floral in the abyss, or do I imagine it? L'Ombre des Merveilles wears like the most diaphanous cashmere scarf you can imagine, with odd strands of colorful fibers peeking through a sea of gauzy taupe Like others in the series, it seems best suited for casual wear and tasteful restraint, yet it stops short of being olfactory wallpaper. There's something oddly compelling and contemplative, even soothing, about it.
