Eau des Merveilles
Eau des Merveilles by Hermès is a feminine-leaning eau de toilette from 2004 in the premium price tier. It opens with sweet orange, lemon and elemi, moves into pink pepper and violet root and dries down to ambergris, cedarwood, vetiver and benzoin. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
Heart
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Violet Root Earthy and powdery. Drier than violet flower.
Dry-down
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
