About This Perfume
Hermès Parfum des Merveilles comes across as smoky resin incense over warm cognac leather. Key notes are Peru balsam, oak and amber. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. A good pick for nights out. Released in 2005.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something spicy and powdery for nights out.
- Sample first if: spicy is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike powdery fragrances.
Around $106.

A closer look at the picks
For Hermès Terre d'Hermès (Eau de Parfum Intense, 2006), expect citrus zest over dry, earthy peppered wood: orange and grapefruit up top, vetiver, cedar and patchouli underneath. Hermès Un Jardin Sur Le Nil (Eau de Toilette, 2005) comes across as cool watery grapefruit and green mango petals, with grapefruit and green mango at the start and musk, iris and incense at the base. Hermès Terre D'Hermes Eau Givree (Eau de Parfum, 2022) reads as fresh juniper citron with green peppery zest, opening on citron.
If you like what you see here, fresh perfumes and woody perfumes are good next stops, and the Scendira brands page has the rest.
