Hermes Eau des Merveilles EDT has no flowers in sight and is an unusual fragrance. Ordinarily, woods and amber are used as base notes. Here, they are noticeable throughout the fragrance development. It is a surprise to magic and magic to enchantment. Top Notes - vetiver, oak, cedar. Middle Notes - ambergris. Base Notes - lemon, orange, elemi, pink pepper.
from perfumeposse - "...Eau des Merveilles (O D merv-A-yah) which means Water Of Wonders is one of the best loved of the Hermès ranges by perfumistas because it’s so damn weird, yet totally wearable. It’s like the salted/amber/woods version or freaky gorgeous rubber/vanilla/leather BVLGARI Black. On initial spritz I was like, ErMerGerd! This shit is FOUL. For both of them but then they grow on you and suddenly you’re craving them like, well, like someone who craves something A LOT!"
from scentbird - "This is how Hermes’s Eau des Merveilles perfume will make you feel: Outstanding! Addicting! Classy! and Very, Very, Very Happy!"
For the first minute I loved this soft gentle skin scent that was mostly a powdery amber with some light, delicate woods. Then it turned "off" on me, smelling a bit too much like baby powder and something dank and rancid. Not very sexy.
Appealing on several levels, the prominent notes are orange and fir/cedar floated on a sturdy but subtle base of musks and resins. It is light and not sweet. Sillage is low, duration 8-10 hours on my skin. While I like it in hot weather it is a very versatile scent that could be worn anywhere at any time.
