Hermès Eau des Merveilles Eau de Toilette captures the poetry of sea light and polished woods without leaning on the usual florals. A bright spark of citrus meets a crystalline mineral glow, then drifts over warm amber and elegant woods that feel sunlit yet serene. The result is clean, modern, and quietly magnetic, an everyday signature that moves effortlessly from relaxed afternoons to evening dinners while keeping its salty sparkle.

Story and Positioning
A foundational chapter of the Merveilles universe, this creation frames the idea of amber and wood as stardust over sea spray, giving a refined alternative to sweet or floral styles. It stands as a timeless, subtly sensual choice and anchors a constellation of follow ups including Elixir des Merveilles, Eau Claire des Merveilles, L'Amber des Merveilles, L'Ombre des Merveilles, and Eau des Merveilles Bleue.
Bottle and Design
Serge Mansau’s round flacon resembles a handheld lens sprinkled with tiny stars, tilting gently when set down like a horizon line. The glass feels smooth and luminous in the hand, the atomizer delivers a fine mist, and the cap carries the Clou de Selle seal. The presentation arrives in the house’s orange box for unmistakable shelf presence.
