About
Eau des Merveilles by Hermès is a Woody fragrance for women. Eau des Merveilles was launched in 2004. Eau des Merveilles was created by Ralf Schwieger and Nathalie Feisthauer. Top notes are Orange, Elemi resin and Lemon; middle notes are Amber, Pepper, Pink Pepper and Violet; base notes are Fir, Cedar, Madagascar Vetiver, Oakmoss and Benzoin. Eau des Merveilles: from surprise to magic and from magic to enchantment, Eau des Merveilles wraps us around its finger on a cloud of fancy. Imagined with an amber woody chord that rings up to the top notes, this fragrance, created by Ralph Schwieger and Nathalie Feisthauer, wins the bet to portray a sparkling femininity without a noticeable floral scent. Paradoxical, contrasted, intimate and delicate, a skin-deep infusion of happiness to savor.
