Eau des Merveilles by Hermès is a mesmerizing Woody fragrance for women, first introduced in 2004. Crafted by perfumers Ralf Schwieger and Nathalie Feisthauer, this scent redefines femininity through a warm, resinous, and spicy profile — without relying on floral notes.
The fragrance opens with sparkling top notes of orange, lemon, and elemi resin, providing a citrusy and aromatic freshness. The heart reveals a spicy and slightly powdery blend of amber, pink pepper, black pepper, and violet, offering warmth and intrigue. At its base, a rich, earthy fusion of fir, Madagascar vetiver, oakmoss, cedar, and benzoin grounds the composition, leaving a long-lasting woody amber trail.
Eau des Merveilles (“Water of Wonders”) captures the essence of magic and wonder, making it perfect for women who appreciate sophistication, depth, and an unconventional elegance.
