Eau des Merveilles by Hermès is a bright, resinous woody scent that glows rather than blooms. Lemon and orange open it with a zesty snap, and elemi gives the citrus a faintly peppery shimmer. In the middle, amber warms things up while pepper, pink pepper and a little violet keep it lively. The base turns dry and outdoorsy: fir, cedar, vetiver and oakmoss, rounded by sweet benzoin. It dates from 2004 and is mostly worn by women, though its crisp woods sit easily on anyone. Voters like it in autumn, for daytime and office hours. Its longevity vote leans moderate, and the sillage vote leans the same way. Try a 3ml decant through a week of cool days and see if it grows on you.

The community verdict
Elemi resin, lemon and orange bring a fresh, sharp start to Eau des Merveilles before amber, pepper and cedar come through. Longevity divides between moderate and long-lasting; the largest group finds projection moderate. It suits an understated style on autumn days or at the office, and spring works too.

The house
More from Hermès
Hermès is a French house whose story begins in 1837, and its perfumes share the same quiet confidence: clean lines, nothing shouted. Citrus leads most of them, grapefruit, lemon and bergamot, before settling on cedar, vetiver and patchouli, with ginger or pepper for a dry spark. Terre d'Hermès is the natural first pick, citrus and fresh spice over earthy wood. Un Jardin Sur Le Nil feels green and floral with a citrus edge, while Eau des Merveilles plays woody and peppery. Try two side by side and you will hear the family likeness.
