Eau des Merveilles 10th Anniversary Edition

A 2004 tenth-anniversary release of Hermès' Eau des Merveilles, this edition keeps the same woody architecture collectors know from the original. It opens bright and resinous: orange and lemon lifted by elemi, giving a citrus spark before the composition settles. The heart turns warmer and spicier, with amber and both black and pink pepper threaded through violet, so the fragrance reads dry and textured rather than sweet.

The base is where it earns its woody classification: fir and cedar over Madagascar vetiver, oakmoss and benzoin, a coniferous, mossy finish with a soft resinous hum. With woody and aromatic accords dominating, it suits collectors who prefer dry, mineral-tinged woods and restrained citrus over gourmand or floral profiles. Wearable across seasons and office-friendly, it rewards those who appreciate the original's structure and want the anniversary presentation in their collection.

呢支係2004年推出嘅十週年紀念版，沿用原版木質骨幹。前調以橙、檸檬配欖香脂，柑橘明亮而帶樹脂感；中調轉暖，琥珀同黑、粉紅胡椒交織紫羅蘭，乾爽帶辛香，唔會甜膩。基調由冷杉、雪松、馬達加斯加香根草、橡苔同安息香組成，針葉與苔木氣息收尾，餘韻帶柔和樹脂感。整體以木質同芳香為主導，適合鍾意乾爽、帶礦物感木香同克制柑橘嘅收藏者；四季同辦公室都用得，想收齊原版結構同紀念版包裝嘅人值得留意。
