Hermès Eau des Merveilles in plain words

What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.

What it smells like

Opens sharp and bright, with a resinous citrus sparkle. A warm, peppery amber follows, and it dries to a dry, woody base of cedar and fir, a bit like a walk through a conifer forest.

How it wears

The perfume community reports moderate to long-lasting wear and moderate projection, with good performance overall.

When to wear it

Wearers favour autumn and spring, mainly in the daytime and at the office, and some say it works in any season.

Who it suits

Suits someone who likes an elegant, understated, grown-up signature scent that is neither sweet nor floral. If you prefer sweeter or flowery styles, the amber and woods may feel too dry.
