Product reviews of Eau Des Merveilles Elixir By Hermes For Women Eau De Parfum Spray, 3.3-Ounces
Review: Impregnating aroma!
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I bought this perfume (Elixir Des Merveilles) after I had walked through Saks. One of the clerks had the parfum and even after she continued to walk through the isles, you could smell her scent. I asked her what it was and the rest is history! The same happens to me now; everytime I wear the parfum, people ask me "what are you wearing?." This parfum is not for everyone, though. It is very strong, woody, musky, and spicy. I went to the top dept. stores(I say top because I only found Hermes at Saks and Neiman) to try on the perfumes and later visited Amazon to purchase them. That is what I recommend if you are unsure of what to buy! I refuse to pay full price! Review: Substitute for Organza Indecence
Beauty product: 4 Stars
Elixir des Merveilles is a sweet, yet dark, orange gourmand that is much better than her sister, Eau des Merveilles. By comparison, Eau is markedly thin & almost cheap smelling. I don't liken Elixir to her little sister but to the Organzas. Elixir is not quite as good as the more complex orientals Givenchy Organza and Organza Indecence imo. However, these four scents are in the same ball park.
The Givenchys are more womanly, more sexy, more voluptuous. By comparison, the Hermes are cute, pretty, playful & edible, sort of a Brittany Spears but better quality. If you like one, you'll likely appreciate any of the others, plus you will also understand the nuanced difference between them. Of the four, I'm all about Organza Indecence but would consider Elixir as a substitute if I ever ran out of Organza Indecence ... and if I was forever young.
Review: old perfume
Beauty product: 2 Stars
It was too good to be true: my favorite perfume at 2/3 the price. It's old and has gone off, but unfortunately one wouldn't know that until it's opened and unreturnable. Buyer beware, and go to Hermes directly to buy this in the future. It's an absolutely wonderful fragrance, when it's fresh.
