L'Ambre des Merveilles

Starting with the 1867 universal exposition, the house of Hermès became luxurious and prestigious, becoming an essential landmark of the capital. Diversifying, the house of Hermès launched into perfumery in 1951. In 2004, Hermès presented Eau des Merveilles, a highly original and sparkling fragrance. After a few variations, the brand unveiled in 2012 Ambre des Merveilles, a contrasted, ultra-feminine fragrance.

The wonders of Hermès

In 2004, Hermès presented Eau des Merveilles. Truly astonishing, Eau des Merveilles transports one into a dream world, amid the stars. Hermès offered a few variations, with Élixir des Merveilles or Eau des Merveilles Bleues. With its fragrances, Hermès waves its magic wand and one finds oneself in a world of wonder. L'Ambre des Merveilles is no exception to the rule and also offers its share of wonder and mystery. Here, amber takes center stage. Amber is a small stone, like a concretion that the sperm whale expels into the seas. Over the course of water and days, amber takes on the scent of sea spray, waves and marine air. This is why amber possesses a unique scent, between water and earth. Amber is a mysterious stone that Jean-Claude Ellena showcases here. Between delight and sensuality, L'Ambre des Merveilles harmoniously blends amber, vanilla and labdanum.
