Eau des Merveilles is a woody fragrance from the French house Hermès, composed by Nathalie Feisthauer and Ralf Schwieger and released in 2004. Wood leads, with spicy, amber and citrus sides behind it and lighter green and floral touches.
Lemon, orange and elemi resin open with a bright, peppery and slightly resinous citrus. The heart brings violet, which adds soft powder, pepper and pink pepper, which give a dry spice, and amber, which brings a salty, mineral warmth. In the base, Madagascar vetiver, cedar and fir create a dry, woody and slightly coniferous finish, with oakmoss and benzoin adding depth.
Most wearers find its longevity moderate, and sillage is moderate or intimate. It is voted across autumn and spring and mostly for daytime. It suits the office and everyday wear, and someone who likes unusual, salty-ambery woods.
