The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2009 by Hermès, Eau Des Merveilles Limited Edition 2009 is a woody aromatic fragrance that encapsulates the essence of French elegance and sophistication. The composition opens with bright citrus notes of orange and lemon, which give way to elemi and violet, creating an unexpected freshness and warmth. At its heart, pink pepper adds a subtle spiciness, while amber and fir provide depth and earthy richness. Cedar and vetiver in the base notes ground the fragrance, ensuring it remains both fresh and complex throughout the day.

How to wear it

One to two sprays are sufficient for this moderate longevity fragrance. It’s best applied in the morning so that its citrus freshness can evolve into an enveloping woody base as the day progresses. The scent reads better close to skin than across a room, making it ideal for intimate settings.
