Descripción
L'Ambre des Merveilles by Hermès is an olfactory jewel from the oriental vanilla family, created for men and women. Launched in 2012, this fragrance reveals a sophisticated composition where top notes of bergamot and Sicilian lemon give way to a heart of sambac jasmine and May rose. The base rests on a warm, enveloping blend of vanilla, amber and patchouli, all orchestrated by master perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena.

I love this perfume, although I admit it was easy for me because I am a fan of sweet and powdery amber-vanilla combos, and this one delivers. It must be said that it is not a masterpiece, nothing elegant or complex. It is a simple mixture of very dense and sweet vanilla and amber, with no novel facets like those of Serge Lutens or Annick Goutal. There are no notes to counteract the almost cloying sweetness, except for a touch of patchouly at the beginning that disappears quickly. Myrrh gives it that powdery touch from the start to the finish. The dry-down is super warm and softens the scent, but maintains that exaggerated powdery and sweet tone. Be careful when applying it; it can become very heavy or sticky if not used with moderation. For me, Elixir des Merveilles is the best of the line: more elegant and interesting, although it has nothing to do with this. I admit that L’Ambre des Merveilles has all the ingredients I like, despite not being an example of good craftsmanship. So yes, I like it quite a bit and I love wearing it when it is very cold.
I love it, but I will be honest: it was very easy for me because I am a fanatic of sweet and powdery amber-vanilla duos, and this one delivers. It is not a masterpiece or elegant; it is a simple mixture of dense vanilla and sweet amber, with no novel facets like other perfumes. There are no notes to counteract the almost cloying sweetness, except for a touch of patchouly at the start that disappears quickly. Myrrh keeps it powdery always. It dries down super warm and soft, but still retains that exaggerated sweetness. Be careful when applying it; it can end up heavy or sticky. For me, Elixir is the best of the line: more elegant and interesting. But L’Ambre has all my favourite ingredients, so I use it a lot in winter even though it is not perfect.
Incredible aroma, nothing of that trendy candy sweetness. It is fully vanilla-ambered, sensual, with just enough sugar to avoid being cloying. It smells a lot like Elixir des Merveilles, another jewel. Brutal longevity, more than 8 hours. It is not a common scent, perhaps not for everyone, but it is very refined. Ideal for the night and the cold, perfect for a romantic evening. Its warmth envelops you like an irresistible cloak. Total luxury.
I saw the beautiful bottle and the advertising, so I decided to try it on a dry day. As I adore the Jour d’Hermès line, I was very eager for it to please me, but the truth is it does not. In my opinion, without wanting to offend, it smells like that typical super-sweet feminine fragrance that is cloying and lacks body; upon smelling it, you do not notice it is L’Ambre des Merveilles. It does not smell bad, of course, but it does not stand out and even on a dry day it gave me a sense of disgust. I am not one of those who love sweet perfumes; I think they are pure sugar bombs that saturate and tire the olfactory senses quickly. If I had a girlfriend, I would not want her to wear this, not because of the smell, but because it would exhaust me. Objectively, I believe it is a good amber, pleasant and of good quality, without a plastic smell, with clear vanilla and a very slight touch of patchouli that does not bother. I perfectly understand who might like it: just as I love citrus fragrances of only lemon, others may fall in love with this explosion of pure sweetness, ideal for the cold.
L’Ambre des Merveilles is a fascinating component of an erratic line like Eau des Merveilles, from which notable fragrances such as the original or the Elixir have emerged. Although Hermès has produced everything from jewels to redundant mediocrities within this line, L’Ambre des Merveilles keeps the promise with an exuberant nectar of vanilla and amber with gourmand resinous hints. Personally, the technique of sweet resins here is predictable and classicist; the ambarred vanilla is not new—Hermès has used it for years—but it works for those who hate explosive fruity scents. It is not a complex or abstract fragrance but bets on the versatility of conventional oriental scents. It is subtle, noticeable only if you apply it in sprays, which is unnecessary if you are looking for something aggressive. As a sweet composition, it is a refined and simplistic expression of basic orientals, with powdery and balsamic flashes in the heat. It is enjoyable, but it has a flaw: it lacks character, its structure is ambiguous, and it gives a sense of inferiority. It looks faded and overvalued; with little development and a moderate trail, it does not deserve its Hermès price tag. Orientals are usually extravagant, but here pragmatism has been lost, which detracts from its natural beauty. It is not for an eccentric audience, but I believe anyone who likes vanilla will enjoy it.
L’Ambre des Merveilles is fascinating, part of an erratic line like Eau des Merveilles. Hermès has produced beautiful fragrances and others that are mediocre, and this one follows the idea of an exuberant nectar of vanilla and amber with gourmand resinous hints. The technique of sweet resins is predictable and classic, nothing innovative, but it works for those who enjoy ethereal and non-explosive aromas. It is not complex or abstract; its versatility depends on not applying it too much, as if you are looking for something aggressive, it is not for you. It is subtle, refined and simplistic, with powdery flashes in the heat. It is enjoyable, but for me it has a serious flaw: it lacks body and presence, and seems faded and commercial, overvalued by its price and scarce linear development. It is not for very particular tastes, but for anyone who appreciates vanilla.
L’Ambre des Merveilles is for those who love amber with devotion. It is a vanilla oriental where the vanilla is very present but does not take the spotlight away from the amber. If you liked Elixir for its light but dense woody character, here the amber provides a superior and mature density. It is for noses seeking that lavish dose of sweetness. A perfume for alpine or polar winter that wraps you in beauty. The amber cola note is notable for the first hour, then the vanilla takes over, elegant and off-key-free, changing from boring to soft and non-synthetic. It is an egocentric amber that lets others shine, exclusive like the sun. With vanilla body lotion it lasts longer and becomes more gourmand and delicious. I can no longer find it in perfumeries.
L’Ambre des Merveilles is made for those who love amber with devotion. A vanilla oriental where the dose of vanilla is present but does not take the spotlight from the amber. If the Elixir had that forest point that gave it lightness despite its density, here the amber provides a superior and very mature density. It is for noses that, loving the Elixir, wanted the lavish dose of sweetness. A perfume for alpine or polar winter that wraps you with absolute beauty. EDIT: the amber cola smell is notable for the first hour; afterwards it lets the vanilla play. It remains elegant; when it seems to become boring, it changes to a soft, non-synthetic vanilla. An egocentric amber that lets others dance but shines with exclusivity like the Sun. ADD: complemented with vanilla body cream, it lasts longer and acquires a gourmand tone, delicious. I can’t find it in perfumeries anymore.
I love amber, and as one might expect, I like L’Ambre des Merveilles. It is a warm, extremely light vanilla oriental. If you like amber but find it too dense, opulent, or sweet, this is your perfume. I’ve never tried one so fresh and pleasant. I like it, but I would prefer it to be more potent; I don’t take away its merits, it is focused on those who enjoy ethereal and translucent aromas. Little evolution. The opening is a slightly fresh amber, almost citrusy, with a sensation of orange or elemi resin. Then, the amber takes the absolute lead: warm, sweet, resinous but delicate and ethereal. It is not dense or potent; it is a sweet caress, caramelised, a comforting embrace that envelops you in peace. It sweetens until it ends in a nearly gourmand vanilla, fine, elegant, and set with the amber. A true beauty. I liked it, I didn’t love it because it lacks body and presence, but in general terms, it is beautiful. A little more feminine than masculine, versatile and easy to wear. Daytime for autumn/winter, nighttime for spring/summer. Moderate performance in both cases.
I love the amber, and this is L’Ambre des Merveilles. It is a warm vanilla oriental but extremely light, something unusual for an amber which is usually dense and sweet. If you are looking for something fresh and pleasant, this is your perfume. I prefer it more potent, but it is clear it is aimed at people who love ethereal and fresh aromas. It evolves little: it starts with a fresh, almost citrusy amber, then the amber takes the lead, warm and resinous but delicate, like a sweet caress on the skin. It sweetens to give a fine and elegant gourmand vanilla. I have liked it, although it lacks body for my taste. It is lovely, a bit more feminine, versatile and easy to wear for autumn, winter, spring or summer, with moderate performance.
It is an exquisite perfume. Although it has an inverted olfactory pyramid, it starts with a fresh and gossipy amber with warm vanilla notes, and ends with a subtle herbaceous touch. It has its own personality and elegance. I wore it at the Selfridges and it accompanies me now, giving me refinement and addiction; I cannot stop smelling myself. It is unisex: for women it gives dynamism and mystery, for men exquisite depth. It has a rich, animal and almost glamorous amber, with a certain exclusivity. It has no grating synthetic notes. It is flexible, wearable, very current and natural. I have loved it.
It is exquisite. Although it has an inverted pyramid, it begins with a fresh, almost gourmand amber, with warm vanilla notes and finishes with a subtle herbaceous touch. It has personality and an elegant signature. I sprayed it at El Corte Inglés and it has accompanied me since, giving me doses of refinement and addiction. I can’t stop smelling my wrists and clothes. Its unisex character gives dynamism and mystery to women, and exquisiteness and depth to men. It has a very rich, animalic, and almost glamorous amber. It enjoys exclusivity. Do not fail to try it. It is a ‘flexible’ amber, wearable, and very current. Natural aroma, without grating synthetic notes. I liked it very much.
A perfume with an inverted olfactory pyramid 🤔. Little evolution, revolving around a light, warm, fresh, and addictive amber. It plays with vanilla without losing its spotlight. It embraces me gently, makes me feel comfortable, and I love feeling it in the air when I move. Ambered, slightly sweet, unisex, easy to wear and like. I don’t know what Hermès have, but they are special. I use it in autumn, it lasts about 6 hours, with moderate projection. The packaging is BEAUTIFUL ❤ and I’ll give you a heads-up, the new #lombredesmerveilles 2020 is 😍😍😍. Oh my god, how good it is. I hope it gets a bit fresher so I can use it. Ironically, it’s not in my top 5 favourite designer scents (the list is long 🤣), but I look for it often. When I have it, I spend days wearing it; I have to make an effort to put it down and use other fragrances.
An addictive aroma, thanks to which I discovered my passion for amber. I expected nothing; I received it in an exchange to try. The opening is vintage, which I don’t like, but after two minutes it is delicious. It no longer evolves, but I prefer it that way. Acceptable longevity, which is saying a lot. Moderate-to-low projection, but I don’t care; what I want is to feel it on myself. Elegant, feminine but not ingenuous, neither flowery nor sweet. A wonder. I’ve already bought the Elixir, let’s see if it’s ‘too much’. I’ll tell you.
To be honest, it disappointed me a little… I expected something more impactful. I see it halfway between Elixir and Eau des Merveilles. It doesn’t feature an amber that leaves you thinking ‘what magic is this?’. To be called ‘Amber of the Wonders’ feels short for it. I thought it would have more body and projection, something unique like the Elixir, but it is very urban, easy to wear, and not memorable. It has the DNA of the Eau, recognisable, but that’s where it stops. It’s not ugly or bad; it’s well-made but conventional. An amber that doesn’t bother or stand out. I’ll keep studying it, but I don’t think I’ll keep the 100ml bottle.
It is the ideal counterpart to Ombre des Merveilles, the yin and the yang. Warm from start to finish, it’s exactly what I thought By the Fireplace would smell like. Imagine burning wood in a campfire in the forest at midnight: fresh air, damp moss, resinous fir, and loved ones telling stories while roasting marshmallows. It has edible vanilla in high doses. It smells of mountain, nature, and fresh air; it needs wind to lift it up. I like it more than Elixir des Merveilles because it is more measured and less dense. Both are beautiful, but my next purchase will be the Elixir.
A peculiar and very linear perfume, with little evolution, centred on amber and vanilla accords. From the start, it is a warm, resinous, raw, and dense amber. It is wrapped in a soft, sweet, and musky vanilla, very pleasant without being overwhelming. These two accords dominate until the dry down, which becomes subtly woody due to labdanum and with a touch of patchouli. Ideal for cold or temperate climates and almost any occasion, nothing sporty. Average performance, about 6 or 7 hours on the skin.
It smells like butter cookies, cinnamon, and a hint of vanilla. I can’t shake that image, and in the end, I got tired of the scent. It doesn’t last long on the skin, but it sticks to clothes, and there the little cookies remain…
Nothing. I didn’t like it. It smells like an old, outdated perfume, as if it had moths in it. Perhaps it’s due to pregnancy and nausea; my nose associates it with something toxic. It’s just like Scandal Absolu, which I loved at first but now I can’t stand. I’ll leave it forgotten for months or years and review it in a distant future.
