A little festive magic in a bottle ✨
Hermès Elixir des Merveilles Eau de Parfum is a surprising woody-amber fragrance that feels made for the Christmas season.

Warm, elegant and quietly luxurious, this scent blends amber, sandalwood and cedar with indulgent touches of vanilla sugar, tonka bean and caramel, softened by Peru balsam, incense and oak. A gentle sparkle of orange peel lifts the fragrance, making it comforting yet refined — perfect for winter evenings and festive celebrations.

This is not a loud Christmas scent; it’s intimate, cosy and beautifully sophisticated. Think candlelight, wrapped gifts, polished wood and a hint of mystery.

✨ Perfect for gifting
✨ Ideal for lovers of warm, ambered fragrances
✨ A timeless Hermès classic for the festive season

Available now at Minihan’s — pop in for a spritz and let this festive favourite work its magic.
