About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Eau des Merveilles Au Bal des Etoiles opens on a bright, resinous citrus accord: orange and lemon sharpened by elemi, which lends a faintly peppery, churchlike lift before the composition settles. The heart turns warmer and more textured, with amber and pink pepper wrapped around a soft violet note that keeps the spice from turning dry. It is a woody fragrance first and foremost, and collectors should expect the fir, cedar and Madagascar vetiver to dominate the drydown, grounded by oakmoss and benzoin for a mossy, balsamic finish.

This 2004 women's release suits wearers who want a citrus-woody scent with real backbone rather than a light cologne. The conifer and oakmoss accents give it an outdoorsy, slightly vintage character that reads well in cool weather and evening wear, and the amber-benzoin base rewards patience on skin. Those who prefer clean, sweet or floral-forward perfumes may find it austere; collectors of chypre-adjacent woods and Hermès resinous compositions will get the most from it.

中文簡介

呢支 2004 年嘅女香以橙、檸檬同欖香脂開場,柑橘明亮得嚟帶樹脂同微辛感;中調轉暖,琥珀、粉紅胡椒同紫羅蘭交疊,令辛香唔會太乾。基調由冷杉、雪松同馬達加斯加岩蘭草主導,再加橡苔同安息香收尾,木質同苔蘚感好突出。整體係有骨架嘅柑橘木香,氣質偏中性、帶少少復古戶外感,適合秋冬同夜晚,鍾意西普式木質同樹脂香嘅收藏者會啱;想要清甜花香嘅人可能覺得佢太乾爽。
