HERMES Elixir des Merveilles Eau de Parfum, 1.6-oz. in Bloomington, MN

A blend of ""merveilles,"" mouth-watering and sensual: candied orange meets patchouli. From surprise to magic and from magic to enchantment, Elixir des Merveilles leads you by the nose on a dream cloud. A multi-faceted novel built on a woody amber accord that resonates right through to the top notes, it was created in 2004 by Ralph Schwieger and Nathalie Feisthauer and successfully rises to the challenge of being a sparkling fragrance for women with not a flower in sight.
