Hermès Elixir des Merveilles is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Jean-Claude Ellena. Elixir des Merveilles opens with Orange, settles into a heart of Incense and Caramel, and dries down to a base of Oak, Resin, Amber, and Cedar. Hermès's Elixir des Merveilles carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

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.

About

Elixir des Merveilles opens with a blast of zesty, almost burnt orange, quickly deepened by a complex heart of warm amber and resinous woods. Caramel and tonka bean add a subtle sweetness, while a hint of incense and patchouli lends an earthy, sophisticated edge. It's a journey from bright citrus to a cosy, balsamic drydown, with oak and cedar providing a grounding presence.
