Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Elixir des Merveilles EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - 362 Hermes Elixir des Merveilles EDP
362 follows Elixir des Merveilles' resinous orange-and-amber structure, though the woody base reads flatter than Hermes's layered original.
