The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2006, Parfum des Merveilles 2006 by Hermès is a limited edition Oriental Woody fragrance created by Jean-Claude Ellena and Ralf Schwieger. This scent captures the essence of luxury with its woody and amber notes, balanced by balsamic and earthy undertones. The green and mossy accords add depth, while the patchouli gives it an earthy warmth. Parfum des Merveilles 2006 is a proof of Hermès’s commitment to craftsmanship and lasting elegance.
This parfum is designed to stay close to the skin, so a light application goes a long way. The base notes develop slowly over time, making it ideal for evening wear or special occasions when you want a lasting impression.
