Eau des Merveilles Eau de Toilette — Hermès

Eau de Toilette (EDT) from Hermès.

Scent description (editorial impression)

Salt and orange peel over warm resin and cedar, as wearers tell it: woody, a little leathery, neither floral nor sweet, and for some it is all they wear. On longevity they split, from half a day on the skin to right through the night.

Drawn from 10 independent reports across 3 venues.
