Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Elixir des Merveilles Eau de Parfum

A divisive yet powerful autumn-winter amber, Hermès Elixir des Merveilles is for those who dare to stand out. It's unique, long-lasting, and unapologetically rich; some find it a masterful hug, others a bit much for their taste.

Our Verdict - Soir Eau de Parfum

This Grand Soir dupe is a bit of a gamble upon first spray, with maceration reportedly unlocking its true potential. Expect a rich, cozy amber experience that's a steal for the price, provided you can be patient.
