FAQ for Elixir Des Merveilles

What does Hermès Elixir des Merveilles smell like?

Hermès Elixir des Merveilles transports you to a magical woodland with its warm, amber, and woody notes. It opens with hints of citrus and blends seamlessly into a heart of ambergris and resins, creating a rich, comforting aroma that is both intriguing and enchanting.

What is the difference between perfume and elixir perfume?

Perfumes traditionally refer to fragrances with a high concentration of aromatic compounds, offering a potent and long-lasting scent. Elixir perfumes, like Hermès Elixir des Merveilles, often have an even higher concentration of perfume oils, providing a more intense and persistent fragrance experience.

What are the notes in Elixir des Merveilles?

The scent profile includes top notes of orange peel and seville orange, heart notes of ambergris and elemi resin, and base notes of vanilla, sandalwood, tonka bean, and cedar. This combination gives it a warm, spicy yet sweet, and woody character.

What season is Elixir des Merveilles best for?

Elixir des Merveilles is best suited for fall and winter wear. Its warm and inviting notes provide a comforting fragrance during the cooler months, although its sparkling citrus notes also give it a versatile edge for other seasons.

Is Elixir des Merveilles suitable for all occasions?

Yes, Elixir des Merveilles is versatile enough for both formal events and casual outings. Its complex layers can enhance your presence at elegant gatherings while still being subtle enough for daily wear.

Can Elixir des Merveilles be worn by both men and women?

Elixir des Merveilles is a unisex fragrance, designed to be worn by anyone who appreciates its enchanting woody and amber tones. It's perfect for those looking to add a touch of magic to their scent collection.

Where do you apply Elixir des Merveilles?

To ensure the fragrance lasts as long as possible, apply Elixir des Merveilles to pulse points such as the wrists, behind the ears, and the base of the throat. These areas emit warmth, which helps to diffuse the fragrance throughout the day.

How long does Elixir des Merveilles last?

Given its nature as an elixir perfume, Elixir des Merveilles boasts impressive longevity, often lasting 8-10 hours on the skin, though this can vary based on individual skin chemistry and environmental factors.

What does Eau de Merveilles smell like?

Eau de Merveilles by Hermès offers a lighter, more airy fragrance compared to its Elixir counterpart. It features a marine-inspired scent with notes of salty woody accords and warm amber, perfect for those who prefer a fresher, more subtle fragrance experience.

Deep, sensual and unusual

This scent is a great scent. It's edgier than the Eau de Merveilles and that's just what I like about it. I've had male friends grab my arm and snift it. One gay friend, grabbed my arm and rubbed it on his shoulder for fun! :) It's unusual, it's incredibly sexy, it's long lasting and as the day

Have doubts about this being the genuine product

Decided to treat myself as always spray this in the stores in UK and the smell lasts all day. Unfortunately, the one I bought on this website smells good, but fragrance only lasts a few minutes. Genuine product? I don't think so.

I would not buy this product again! Elixir Des Merveilles

I love Elixir Des Merveilles perfume and have used it for many years daily. Unfortunately this is somewhat weaker and the fragrance doesn't last long! I had some left which I bought else where and the colour of the perfume in the bottle was much darker. The coloured glass bottle was the same. Unfortunately I bought two and it wasn't any cheaper than else where which was perfume!

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend to a friend.

My New Favorite

I love this scent. I just discovered it about a year ago. It is quite pricey but the smell is unique. People tell me that they still smell the scent after hours but I do not think it holds too long. I love it still and wear it daily. I need no special occasion to wear it. I think it can be worn anytime.

A magnet

I don't go anywhere if I have this on that people don't go kind of crazy. There are some people who see me show up and come right over and start sniffing me. It's really funny. A lovely scent. I find if you put too much on, it overpowers everything around it. You can use less and it lasts just as well for quite a long time. Best perfume buy I've made in several years. I wear it all the time now, even to walk my dogs.

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

I found the

After spending years trying to find my signature scent, I believe I have found it. This scent is warm and sophisticated. It is unlike the current scents on the market, which all smell alike, in my opinion. I feel so good when I spray this on and would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for something different, but elegant. Elixer Des Merveiles has been compared to Dune by Christian Dior. I would agree, however, would say this is more subtle and sophisticated. Give it a try; you will not be disappointed.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
