Elixir Des Merveilles

Elixir Des Merveilles, a Warm Caramel Amber

Elixir des Merveilles is a warm, caramel amber from Hermès. Our version keeps that feel, opening with orange and caramel before a warm amber heart settles over sandalwood, tonka bean, vanilla, and a touch of oakmoss.

The Story Behind the Scent

Hermès built Elixir des Merveilles as a richer, sweeter version of Eau des Merveilles, warm and gourmand with a woody depth. The idea was cosy, refined indulgence.

That warm sweetness is its appeal. The orange keeps it bright, the caramel and amber make it cosy, and the sandalwood and oakmoss add depth. Our interpretation follows that same refined path.
