Elixir des Merveilles by Hermès is a 2006 oriental fougere eau de parfum for women, created by Jean-Claude Ellena. Orange peel opens it bright and zesty. Siam resin, amber, Peru balsam and caramel form a rich, sweet heart. Cedar, patchouli, oak, incense, sandalwood, tonka bean and vanilla sugar leave a warm, balsamic base. Amber and woody, Hermès Elixir des Merveilles is at its best in winter and fall, by day.

The community verdict
Bright orange peel at the start gives way to a dry-down of cedar, patchouli and oak in Elixir des Merveilles. Amber, Siam resin and Peru balsam make the heart sweet and balsamic. Winter suits it best and autumn works too, and women tend to wear it by day, though night works as well.
