The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2005, Parfum des Merveilles by Hermès is an Oriental Floral fragrance that captures the essence of warmth and complexity. Created by Jean-Claude Ellena and Ralf Schwieger, this scent combines a sparkling citrus note with the sweetness of cognac, creating a gentle yet complex composition. As it evolves, dark woody notes become more pronounced, enriched with patchouli and resin, giving the fragrance a richer and darker character compared to its predecessor, Eau de Merveilles.
Apply this parfum in a lighter hand, as the rich base notes bloom gradually. The warmth of the scent makes it ideal for cooler evenings when you want something deep and enveloping.

“Cézanne's watercolours contain areas of wash that don't overlap. I proceed in a similar fashion.”
