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 foundation of vanilla, amber, and patchouli, all orchestrated by master perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena.

I love this perfume, though I admit I was easy on it because I’m a fan of sweet, powdery amber-vanilla combos, and this one delivers. That said, it’s not a masterpiece, nothing elegant or complex. It’s a simple mix of very dense and sweet vanilla and amber, without novel facets like those found in 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 start to finish. The dry-down is super warm and softens the scent, but it keeps that exaggerated powdery and sweet tone. Be careful when applying it; it can become very heavy or sticky if not used moderately. For me, Elixir des Merveilles is the best in the line: more elegant and interesting, though it has nothing to do with this one. I recognize that L’Ambre des Merveilles has all the ingredients I like, even if it’s not an example of great craftsmanship. So yes, I like it quite a bit and love wearing it when it’s very cold.
I love it, but I’ll be honest: I was easy on it because I’m a fanatic of sweet, powdery amber-vanilla duos, and this one delivers. It’s not a masterpiece or elegant; it’s a simple mix of dense vanilla and sweet amber, without 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 fades quickly. Myrrh keeps it powdery always. It dries down super warm and soft, but still carries that exaggerated sweetness. Be careful applying it; it can end up heavy or sticky. For me, Elixir is the best in the line: more elegant and interesting. But L’Ambre has all my favorite ingredients, so I use it a lot in winter even if it’s not perfect.
I saw the beautiful bottle and the advertising, so I decided to try it on a dry day. Since I adore the Jour d’Hermès line, I was eager to like it, but honestly, I don’t. In my opinion, without wanting to offend, it smells like that typical super-sweet feminine fragrance that’s cloying and lacks body; upon smelling it, you wouldn’t guess it’s L’Ambre des Merveilles. It doesn’t smell bad, of course, but it doesn’t stand out, and even on a dry day, it gave me a bit of a stomachache. I’m not one of those who loves sweet perfumes; I think they’re pure sugar bombs that overwhelm and tire the nose quickly. If I had a girlfriend, I wouldn’t want her to wear this—not because of the smell, but because it would exhaust me. Objectively, I think it’s a good amber, pleasant and of good quality, without any plastic smell, with clear vanilla and a very light touch of patchouli that doesn’t bother. I perfectly understand who might like it: just as I love citrus fragrances that are only lemon, others might fall in love with this explosion of pure sweetness, ideal for cold weather.
Incredible aroma, nothing like that trendy candy sweetness. It’s fully ambered and vanilla, sensual, with just enough sugar to avoid being cloying. It smells a lot like Elixir des Merveilles, another gem. Lasting power is brutal, over 8 hours. It’s not a common scent, maybe not for everyone, but it’s very refined. Ideal for night and cold weather, perfect for a romantic evening. Its warmth wraps around you like an irresistible cloak. Total luxury.
L’Ambre des Merveilles is a fascinating component of an inconsistent line like Eau des Merveilles, which has spawned notable scents like the original or the Elixir. Although Hermes has created everything from jewels to redundant mediocrity with this line, L’Ambre des Merveilles delivers on its promise: an exuberant nectar of vanilla and amber with gourmand resinous hints. Personally, the technique of sweet resins here feels predictable and old-school; the ambered vanilla isn’t new—Hermes has been using it for years—but it works for those who hate explosive fruity scents. It’s not a complex or abstract fragrance; instead, it bets on the versatility of conventional oriental scents. It’s subtle, noticeable only if you spray it on heavily, which is unnecessary if you’re looking for something aggressive. As a sweet composition, it’s a refined, simplistic expression of basic orientals, with powdery and balsamic highlights in the heat. It’s enjoyable, but it has a flaw: it lacks character, its structure is ambiguous, and it gives off an inferiority complex. It looks washed out and overpriced; with little development and a moderate sillage, it doesn’t deserve its Hermes price tag. Orientals are usually extravagant, but here pragmatism has been lost, diminishing its natural beauty. It’s not for an eccentric audience, but I think anyone who likes vanilla will enjoy it.
L’Ambre des Merveilles is fascinating, part of an inconsistent line like Eau des Merveilles. Hermes has created 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’s not complex or abstract; its versatility depends on not applying too much, as if you’re looking for something aggressive, it’s not for you. It’s subtle, refined, and simplistic, with powdery highlights in the heat. It’s enjoyable, but for me, it has a serious flaw: it lacks body and presence, and seems washed out and commercial, overpriced for its scarce linear development. It’s not for very particular tastes, but for anyone who appreciates vanilla.
L’Ambre des Merveilles is made for those who love amber with devotion. A vanilla oriental where the vanilla dose is present but doesn’t take the spotlight from the amber. If the Elixir had that forest point that gave it lightness despite its density, here the amber brings a superior and very mature density. It’s 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 scent is noticeable for the first hour; afterwards it lets vanilla play. It remains elegant; when it seems to get boring, it changes to a soft, non-synthetic vanilla. An egocentric amber that lets others dance but shines with exclusivity like the Sun. ADD: paired with vanilla body cream, it lasts longer and acquires a gourmand tone, delicious. I can’t find it in perfumeries anymore.
L’Ambre des Merveilles is for those who love amber with devotion. It’s a vanilla oriental where the vanilla is very present but doesn’t steal the spotlight from the amber. If you liked Elixir for its light but dense woody character, here the amber brings a superior, mature density. It’s 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 vanilla takes over, elegant and in tune, changing from boring to soft and non-synthetic. It’s 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’t find it in perfumeries anymore.
I love amber, and as you could expect, I like L’Ambre des Merveilles. It’s 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’d prefer it more potent; I’m not taking away its merits, it’s focused on those who enjoy ethereal and translucent aromas. Little evolution. The opening is a slightly fresh amber, almost citrusy, with an orange or elemi resin sensation. Then, amber takes the absolute spotlight: warm, sweet, resinous but delicate and ethereal. It’s not dense or potent, it’s a sweet caress, caramelized, a comforting embrace that wraps you in peace. It sweetens until it lands in an almost gourmand vanilla, fine, elegant, and set with amber. A true beauty. I liked it, didn’t love it because it lacks body and presence, but overall it’s gorgeous. A bit more feminine than masculine, versatile and easy to wear. Daytime for autumn/winter, nighttime for spring/summer. Moderate performance in both cases.
I love amber, and this is L’Ambre des Merveilles. It’s a warm vanilla oriental but extremely light, which is unusual for an amber that’s usually dense and sweet. If you’re looking for something fresh and pleasant, this is your perfume. I prefer it more potent, but it’s clear it’s 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 up to give a fine, elegant gourmand vanilla. I liked it, though it lacks body for my taste. It’s lovely, a bit more feminine, versatile, and easy to wear for autumn, winter, spring, or summer, with moderate performance.
It’s an exquisite perfume. Although it has an inverted olfactory pyramid, starting with a fresh, gummy amber with warm vanilla notes and ending with a subtle herbal touch. It has its own personality and elegance. I tried it at El Corte Inglés, and it’s been with me since, giving me refinement and addiction; I can’t stop smelling myself. It’s unisex: it gives women dynamism and mystery, and men exquisite depth. It has a rich, animal, almost glamorous amber with a certain exclusivity. It has no grating synthetic notes. It’s flexible, wearable, very current, and natural. I loved it.
It’s exquisite. Although it has an inverted pyramid, it starts with a fresh, almost gourmand amber, with warm vanilla notes and finishes with a subtle herbal touch. It has personality and an elegant signature. I sprayed it at El Corte Inglés and it’s been with me now, giving me doses of refinement and addiction. I can’t stop smelling my wrists and clothes. Its unisex character adds dynamism and mystery to women, and exquisiteness and depth to men. It has a very rich, animalic, and almost glamorous amber. It enjoys exclusivity. Don’t leave it to try. It’s 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, revolves around a light, warm, fresh, and addictive amber. It plays with vanilla without losing its spotlight. It embraces me softly, 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 has, but they are special. I use it in autumn, lasts about 6 hours, moderate projection. The packaging is BEAUTIFUL ❤ and I’ll spoil you, the new #lombredesmerveilles 2020 is 😍😍😍. Oh my god, how good. I hope it gets a bit fresher so I can use it. Ironically, it’s not in my top 5 favorite 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 stop and use other fragrances.
Addictive aroma, thanks to it I discovered my passion for amber. I didn’t expect anything; I received it in an exchange to try. The opening is vintage, I don’t like it, but after two minutes it’s delicious. It doesn’t evolve anymore, 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 innocent, not floral or overly sweet. A wonder. I already bought the Elixir, let’s see if it’s ‘too much’. I’ll tell you.
To be honest, it disappointed me a bit… I expected something more impactful. I see it halfway between Elixir and Eau des Merveilles. It doesn’t feature an amber that makes you think ‘what magic is this?’. To be called ‘Amber of the Wonders’ feels short. I thought it would have more body and projection, something unique like the Elixir, but it’s very urban, easy to wear, and not memorable. It has the DNA of Eau, recognizable, but that’s where it stops. It’s not ugly or bad, it’s well-made but conventional. It’s 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.
A peculiar and very linear perfume, little evolution, focused on amber and vanilla accords. From the start, it’s a warm, resinous, raw, and dense amber. It’s 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 with a touch of patchouli. Ideal for cold or temperate climates and almost any occasion, nothing sporty. Average performance, about 6 to 7 hours on the skin.
It’s the ideal counterpart to Ombre des Merveilles, the yin and yang. Warm from start to finish, it’s 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 like the mountains, nature, and fresh air; it needs wind to lift up. I like it more than Elixir des Merveilles because it’s more measured and less dense. Both are gorgeous, but my next purchase will be the Elixir.
It smells like butter cookies, cinnamon, and a touch 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 cookies remain…
Nothing. I didn’t like it. It smells like an old, outdated perfume, as if it has mothballs. Maybe it’s because of my pregnancy and nausea; my nose associates it with something toxic. Just like with Scandal Absolu, which I loved at first but now can’t stand. I’ll leave it forgotten for months or years and update my review in the distant future.
