“…Fly me to the moon and pour me Eau des Merveilles…”
This feels like holding colorful balloons and floating into the night clouds.
Dreamy nighty nite, all..
Off to a magical wonderland for 10 hours.

This is hands down amazing.
It is of course similar to the original Eau des Merveilles, but so much better!
The hesperidic accord is subdued in the extrait version, I can sense it but less. Amber and balsams are the main accords here, together with woods and vetiver in the base. It smells deep, emotional, very complex and multifaceted.
Equally appropriate for men and women.
Very pricey but absolutely worths it, one only needs a drop.

Despite different notes, to my nose Parfum smells identical to Eau. The only difference is longevity which is quite impressive.

Perfection! I wish the bottle was larger! Just divine – the original elevated!!
Update: wore this on a recent trip to DC and got compliments with every step – everyone wanted to know what I was wearing!

More manly than edt version, but very expensive, but the the patchouli with oakmoss is great, it has a salty vibe. Very nice and unissex.

I just added this to my wardrobe and I am loving it already. If you love the dark chypre nature of Elixir des Merveilles, you’re going to love this even more. Of the line, this is the most straight forward. It is certainly a chypre: it opens with the Merveilles orange-ozonic accord then transitions quickly to an orange-amber-patchouli heart. To my nose the dry down is absolutely laden with smooth, clean, well blended patchouli, oakmoss and peru balsam.
IMO this is absolutely gorgeous!
Sillage: 9 feet
Longevity: 8 hours
100% Unisex/Genderless
Overall rating and feel: 10/10 but patchouli and oakmoss haters beware: this is not for you. If you don’t love either Eau des Merveilles or Elixir des Merveilles don’t bother with this. If you love both, get yourself a sample and try it out because I’m officially going into hoarding mode….NOW! :p

I checked the Hermes hompage and i found this specific bottle listed as pure perfume pendant with refill, but still named as Eau des, not Parfum des – hm, so, which is it, i’m somewhat perplexed, can sombody help ? Thanx !

Merveilles collection is a masterpiece for me. Each of the fragrances depict a different forest.
Parfum des Merveilles is a mountain forest that you encounter in Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic.
Beside it, normal life goes on. People ski, relax and have fun. But try to make a few steps behind the line of the forest and you will find yourself in a different world. The silence is dense, overwhelming. The snowflakes fall noiselessly. The trees are very straight and tall like pillars, stern, and at the same time – safe. You touch the bark with your cheek, you feel so alive and peaceful. A moment later you feel oddly. Is someone watching you? You make a few steps back, back to life.
Parfum des Merveilles is more similar to Elixir than Elixir to Eau. Oriental, oriental-wwody.
I smell loads of patchouli and amber. I don’t know how should peru balsam smell … but I guess this is the ingredient that makes the scent rounded, warm and … vanillic? The composition is woody and a bit sweet. Very deep, rich, luxurious, you just dive into it. Lacks citrus notes, but I don’t miss them here. It’s more bitter and dusty than Elixir.
Transports me to a different dimension.
Definitely not an everyday scent. I actually prefer to smell it from the vial then to smell of it …
Really difficult to describe, it gives me so many emotions! But I did my best.
The staying power is of course amazing.
One member wrote in the review of Elixir that Hermes chooses its mistresses. Am I conceited to say that I feel one of them?
Big thanks to a lovely member who send me a sample of this perfume …
