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 - Voile d'Ambre Eau de Parfum

A truly opulent amber that punches way above its weight. While some find its opening a bit harsh or get a headache, most rave about its smooth, rich, and mysterious drydown. A warm, comforting hug in a bottle, perfect for cooler weather.
