FRAGRANCE TIPS
Blends of floral and citrus-based fragrances are recommended for casual and daywear. Spicy, woody or warm amber-based fragrances are traditionally favorites for evening and special occasions.

Elixir des Merveilles Perfume
by Hermes


The whimsical scent, called Elixir des Merveilles (French for Water of Wonders) has been described as surprising, refreshing and magical. Elixir des Merveilles perfume has notes that include elemi, bitter orange, Italian lemon, Indonesian pepper and pink pepper. There's also what the house calls an "ambergris accord," plus woody notes, including oak, cedar, vetiver, balsam of Peru and tears of Siam. Unlike most fragrances, which traditionally only reveal woody and ambery notes at their base, Eau des Merveilles' are noticeable throughout. And it has almost no floral notes - a rarity in a women's scent. Serge Mansau designed Elixir des Merveilles' orange bottle to invite play, like a toy. It is rounded, save for three flat planes - two on its bottom and one on its back, so the flacon can be set down slanting right or left, or laid flat and used as a magnifying glass. Eau des Merveilles' outer box, created at Hermes, is like a theater showcasing the scent. It also is meant to resemble a secret drawer.

ELIXIR DES MERVEILLES PERFUME REVIEW BY HSC
I wanted a new scent and the saleswoman asked me what scents in the past I had and liked. I remembered "Mystere" by the House of Rochas as one choice. She looked in a book on all scents of all time and told me that I was attracted to Oriental woodsy/spicy. She directed me towards this one and from the moment I tried it, I really liked it. My husband likes it too. It's a bit androgenous, which I find sexy and ... multilayered and complex, which I really am drawn to. I don't like one dimensional scents- I like to smell many components of the perfume. I think I can really smell the chocolate and the orange in it.

ELIXIR DES MERVEILLES PERFUME REVIEW BY DEBBIE
I have never had a scent that I like more than elixir des merveilles by Hermes. It is my mother's favorite scent as well and we both hope to wear only this fragrance for the rest of our lives.

ELIXIR DES MERVEILLES PERFUME REVIEW BY VC
This is unlike many of the new gourmand scents out there - this one is very alluring and spicy and sexy and has excellent staying power. I frequently get compliments from both males and females. Excellent choice for winter although I tend to reach for this one year round!
