This is topped with a silver cabochon containing an integrated vaporizer.

After “Eau des Merveilles”, Hermès presents “Élixir des Merveilles”. If the latter is still as astonishing as his elder, he wants however to be more intense and more powerful. An elixir that takes us to the depths of the starry night, where the most mysterious secrets are revealed… “Elixir of Wonders” transports us in a second to a dream world, like a magic wand.

The Hermès house has specialized since its beginnings in the 19th century in saddlery items and then in numerous creations of leather goods. In 1951, Hermès will offer its very first Eau d’Hermès perfume, which will remain a scent legend as it carries with elegance and distinction all the finest values Of the brand. Each Hermès perfume will thus be crowned with success and it is not Eau des Merveilles and its woody-aromatic delights that will contradict it, on the contrary! But when Jean-Claude Ellena leaned over the cradle of this miraculous Water, he gave birth to the Elixir of Wonders the better to bewitch us …

Elixir des Merveilles, an amber-gourmet encounter between Hermès and Jean-Claude Ellena

Hermès has been offering us since 1951 the beauty of its all-leather journeys in powerful and original fragrances which elegantly exude the beauty of the famous saddler’s leather collections. No Hermès perfume is like another, let alone a trendy and fleeting perfume, the Hermès house loves timeless fragrances and unique accords.

With Eau de Merveilles in 2004, the house was once again part of this “trend beyond trends “by offering a feminine fragrance without any flower, a challenge in the age of gourmet perfumes! And the beautiful Eau des Merveilles composed by Nathalie Feisthauer and Ralf Schwieger will conquer the world with its woody, spicy and citrus accords.

“This fragrance stimulates the imagination and transports you to unexplored dimensions full of surprises …” & nbsp; Le Nez Bavard about Eau des Merveilles.
Having arrived at Hermès the same year as a regular perfumer, Jean-Claude Ellena was necessarily interested in this woody UFO that was Eau des Merveilles. Two years later, and after having worked on the basic formula of Eau des Merveilles as “the score of a jazz player”, Jean-Claude Ellena will offer us his version of the perfumed tale of Hermès in a precious and tasty Elixir des Merveilles.

When Eau des Merveilles becomes an amber caress, the Elixir of Merveilles is born

Jean-Claude Ellena has never been afraid to rework perfume formulas to make them his own! On the contrary, he likes to reuse the original perfumes to keep only a few key elements that he will use as inspiration for the creation of a new perfume. For Elixir des Merveilles, Jean-Claude Ellena thus preserved the tangy heads and the powerful and woody depths of L’Eau des Merveilles while associating them with much more gourmet heart notes but without any sugar.

All the magic of Jean-Claude Ellena’s work can therefore be seen from this Elixir of Wonders! From a woody-aromatic fragrance, L’Eau des Merveilles, it composes a gourmet amber and woody variation without falling into the ease of extremely sweet notes, a major component of a large part of current perfumes.

It makes this Elixir des Merveilles a feminine scent which once again does not contain any flower and better still, does not contain any sweet note. The delicacies of hot milk, tonka bean, chocolate and vanilla are only evoked in this Elixir des Merveilles by the meticulous work of the perfumer in order to make them exist without making them suffocating.

“The extreme version, Elixir des Merveilles is to drive you crazy, spicier, but also rounder and warmer, it potentiates all your magical powers … “Le Nez Chatard about L’Elixir des Merveilles Hermès.
