Winter is coming
I guess I'm a late bloomer when it comes to perfume. After a few young girlish experiments I had put the subject aside for years. Until that day, when my mother returned a borrowed scarf while walking after a visit. Later I wanted to put it away and hesitated - because it smelled! Every movement of the fabric filled the room with a wonderful magic.

Until then I had often perceived perfumes as annoying, intrusive or headache-prone, but with this fragrance it was different. Something has clicked into my mouth at this moment, with a satisfying, full-sounding KATSCHUNNKK! - this scent was MY! Where's the phone?
"Oh, you like this one? I just got it for free, but it's not my case. You can have it!"

What is it about this fragrance that appeals to me? I don't even want to try to crumble the individual scent elements, others can do that much better here. And especially in this case I don't want to analyse that at all, here I prefer to preserve the overall effect that this fragrance has on me. A scent in which I still find the heat of an almost past summer, but early in the morning there is already a mysterious fog on the fields, it smells a bit like autumn. Winter is coming. Wonderfully unsweet and free from non-binding flowering. Seriously, but not harsh or rude, a melancholic scent. And somehow right. It's for me.

Meanwhile, I wear the scent less often. Not because I like it less than before, on the contrary. If I wear it daily, I take it was less clear, it "disappears" then for my nose, and I still want it to remain something special. Hach. Enough raving. Thanks for reading.

A day at the sea
As a big fan of Hermès, I had to test of course also the Merveilles - series.
"Eau des Merveilles | Hermès" has pleased me very well.
This particular fragrance, awakens longing for the sea in me, I do not know why, he has in the fragrance pyramid no aquatic notes.
But I spray it on, I feel this pull in the stomach, this longing for the beach, the view of the sea. I want to go back, sit in the sand and enjoy the tranquility.
There is dry driftwood everywhere, scattered dried seaweed and shell casings. I look out to sea, It is slightly cloudy and not hot. The seagulls fly their rounds over the foaming sea.
Eau des Merveilles - water of wonder. Yes, that fits. It is a miracle.
This fragrance gives me peace and serenity, it grounds me and gives me peace.

Rinse it on, I smell first fresh, delicately citrus impacts, but not like freshly cut citrus fruit but ehr like their abrasion, slightly sweet and not bitter.
Likewise, I immediately perceive a slight woodiness. Dry, like the driftwood on the beach. The pepper is very well perceived, brings a small, peppery kick that is also present for some time.
The woody base is so nicely tuned, tart, slightly herbaceous, woody and needley but neither too woody nor too dry.
The durability is really good, the base is even after 10 h still delicately perceptible the sillage thereby is not very strong, however, at a distance of 1m well smellable.
Eau des Merveilles is something special. Certainly not a fragrance that pleases every woman. No florality, no sweetness. For me, however, just right.

Village pharmacy
I smell that scent and I'm catapulted back to my childhood... in the small village pharmacy. Frau Klee, the friendly, but for me as a child in Bavaria always somewhat stiff-looking pharmacist, due to her High German expression, stands perfectly permed behind the counter. Behind Mrs. Klee are neatly lined up big brown pharmacy glasses with Latin inscriptions. What essences has she hidden in them? Why does it smell so strange here - so "healthy"? Actually not important, the main thing is that she gives me a portion of delicious dextrose as a farewell gift. Orange and lemon is my favourite :)

What Hermès has created here....
Hello everyone,

today at this late hour I would like to talk about the Eau des Merveilles Eau de Toilette.

I've already described the most important things in my opinion in my statement below, but now I'd like to go into a little more detail. I had known the fragrance for many years and already knew how "good" it was back then, but I had forgotten about it...

A few days ago, during one of my many purchases here in the Souk (a little illness^^), I had a sample of it as a side dish and as soon as I sprayed it, it came back to my mind and I immediately thought to myself "why Benny why"...?

I can't find the right answer, but please don't make the mistake I did. Get a sample/ bottling and experience the magic of the Eau des Merveilles Eau de Toilette !

Many of us go from the designer to the niche world because of, for example, more performance, better ingredients, a more beautiful development, bottle, etc. and it definitely has many aspects of this!
- Flacon check!
- History check
- something different/special check!

It starts out citrusy and slightly fresh, then slowly becomes woody and resinous and becomes quasi and noticeable (!) and moves insanely away from what it was. And at the end, it has a mystical and mysterious effect, enveloping you in an aura of beauty.

And men like it a lot - just by the way!
I wouldn't necessarily recommend using it in midsummer, the drydown can be overwhelming if you use too many sprays, so my tip is to only use 2 - 3 sprays in summer if you want it. Otherwise, it always works and fits perfectly!
LG have a nice DAY/ EVENING or whenever you read the review, LG the Benny

My ever walker
I have tested this fragrance in midsummer and had to think of him again and again.
This perfume richt mach sun on the skin! After security, after vacation in Tuscany. It has enchanted me.
Tangy-citrusy, resinous-almost sweet.
I think I can judge every single fragrance note out and I love them all.
Now it is November and the perfume goes even in wet cold dirty weather. It has become for me the signature scent and I trace him even to sleep on. Just for me.
I have also been asked several times by colleagues what I wear to repurchase it.
I like it that the fragrance does not contain floral notes, because I do not want to reach like a bouquet.
So I hope that now the specified number of letters is reached because more does not occur to me with the best will in the world.

A soft spicy-woody scent with orange and amber nuances. It balances between fresh and warm. Completely anonymous

Effervescent lemon-orange opening, like a "clean" Terre d'Hermes but different from Eau Tres Fraiche. Gets woody and mossy in drydown.

Something smells very artificial in this scent. I get a sweet peppery orange with a dominant woody note. It's soapy, ambery, salty and musky

zesty with warmer touches , it has an average sillage and it's perfect in the good season. Pretty the spherical bottle like a magic ball.

To put it plainly, good start, bad finish.
Not sure if it is the note combo or just elemi that I don't like.
Scrubber.
