I first tried this a few years ago and thought it was magic and now I've worn it properly on my skin, I know it is! Amazing, warm, aromatic resin of Peru balsam and that orange note as it opens is superb. Then as it dries down, creamier elements of caramel and woods develop. To my nose it's a warm base of amber, Tonka bean and sandalwood with some not so warm cedar to balance it. Elixir des Marveilles is a great fragrance, totally unisex and worthy of a wear with moderate to Soft sillage and good longevity. I did make my girlfriend try it and she really liked it we could both just as easily wear this, I'm sold on this Hermes fragrance.
I am not sure how I feel about this one. I liked it a lot in the beginning, it smelled fresh and citrusy, but the dry-down has something that threatens to become repulsive. There is something vaguely off in this combination of strong Orange peel with very warm Resins, Sandalwood and Incense. I can also barely trace the Caramel on my skin. I would definitely not wear it in warm weather.
