Hermes L’Ambre des Merveilles ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 29 July 2012 14 Comments

Hermès L'Ambre des Merveilles

Hermès will launch L'Ambre des Merveilles in September. The new fragrance for women is a flanker to 2004's Eau des Merveilles, and follows Elixir des Merveilles (2006) and Eau Claire des Merveilles (2010).

L'Ambre des Merveilles was developed by Hermès house perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena; the notes include amber, labdanum, patchouli and vanilla.

Hermès L'Ambre des Merveilles will be available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

    Might as well collect the whole set. JCE’s use of vanilla is about the only one that agrees with me. Sounds like a lovely fall scent.

      I’m not a huge fan of darker ambers, so we’ll see how dark / sweet they’ve taken this…I do like the original Eau des Merveilles & Eau Claire des Merveilles.

      Agree! Hope that’s not just the lighting.

    Sounds perfect! The original is one of my favorite scents, and I’m on the search for for my HG amber. Hope this one isn’t as sweet as the Elixir, though.

    Don’t care for Eau des Merveille but adore Eau Claire….I do love amber, though, especially the vanillic varieties. I look forward to sampling this even though patch is one of the listed notes (scary!).

    Thank you for the information!

      Patch is usually pretty mild these days. But we’ll see!

    I love the original, and with these notes it’s as though JCE made this one just for me! A gorgeous bottle doesn’t hurt either. Must Not Buy Unsniffed …. right?

    Just reiterating my long-held wish for a coffret of the various Merveilles fragrances, in case anyone from Hermes is reading this.
