Best Eau des Merveilles Bleue by Hermès Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

Blue line

Perfumer: Marie Salamagne

A green fresh sandalwood.

In your dream, you’re an alpine snowboarder. The fresh air gives you a headrush as you carve effortlessly through the pristine snow. A cave emerges, and you unclip your board to enter the darkened space, overwhelmed by the unexpected sensation of salty steam billowing out of the hidden hot spring. The air has a metallic quality. Breathe Out conjures a kaleidoscope of contradictory sensations—the chilly bite of mountain air, the mineral steam of geysers, and the heady tropical sunshine of frangipani, summoning the paradox of nature’s tranquility against its danger.

With Chameleon Zoologist continue the theme of tropical habitats full of heavenly exotic flowers. In this perfume you can experience them as a little creature with independently mobile eyes traveling in the thick lush canopies past plumeria blossom, ylang-ylang and other exotic blooms of the island of Madagascar. There are further fragrant hints as to the geographical location of the plot: accords of sea breeze, coconut, mango as well as the notes of vanilla and vetiver.

So sway on a branch of ylang-ylang with Chameleon while being caressed by a spicy vanilla breeze from the Indian ocean.

A marine poem composed wave after wave…

Entre ciel et Mer (“Between sky and sea”) tells a story of Etesian winds, azure skies and flying over seascapes at top speed…

Icy, soaring and powerful, the first whiff feels as though it had been sculpted out of the Meltem – the north wind that blows over the Aegean Sea, with notes of crumpled, water-splashed leaves and the fruity-aromatic nuances of a lavender, pear and white thyme accord.

The scent’s convincing seawater effect is achieved through a molecular distillation of algae from the Pacific, with iodic and animalic notes of white lichen and ambergris.

The dry, almost mineral facets are balanced out with cedar, moss and sandalwood from New Caledonia.

A strikingly good interpretation of the marine theme.

Sandalwood enriched by cedarwood and enhanced by just-roasted hazelnut. Tender powdered heliotrope lightens for a nuanced sweetness that’s somewhat leatherey. While a blend of driftwood and sea salt styles this fragrance to delicious a cool pirate finish.

L'espérance est violente.

Mirabeau, what a pretty word, peculiarly Parisian, suspended above the Seine. It composes a memory, joins another bank, and returns by following its trail of sandalwood, pink bay and cedar. In the heart of the City of Light, on the way to the twilight of the day, there is a bridge, a poem and a perfume.

A discreet and symbolic bridge, of the master-builder spirit which transcends borders, becoming better by coming together. Those solid foundations of cedar, sandalwood and orcanox span love and musk.

A poem as slow as it is violent, expressing the brutal and desirable hope of the one who would like to believe, of the one who wants to love. Vanilla, I write your name on the water, with muffled traces of incense and violet green.

A perfume to save us, fish us silently out of the water, bringing us above the Seine, our spirits on the water of our essences, bergamot and pink berry mingled with fig in a glass bottle, fiercely reuniting bodies in unison with souls, coming back to her by following her wake.

Golden Hour, January 2016, Sydney

The surf crashes against the sandstone rocks. Your skin glows in the warm sun underneath a blazing Australian sky. As you climb out of the water, a gentle breeze blows through the nearby jasmine and frangipani trees, mixing with the subtle scent of sea, salt and rock.

Take the moment to soak it all up, and dive down under with this evocative fragrance.

Skin, salt-kissed by the ocean. A white T-shirt, warmed by the sun. 
Dreaming, bare feet in the sand. Inspired by the vast beaches of the Southern Californian coast, Whitedenim opens on the salty, iodized notes of sea air. Gradually, the fragrance reveals an enveloping milky facet before melting into a creamy sandalwood base. Fresh, comforting, luminous.

A fruity perfume tempting you with ripe mango, sweet melon and juicy grapefruit and sandal (adding extra structure to these aqueous components).

Bon Parfumeur open olfactive dimensions and invite you to add your own story. Try 202 if you like the exotic fruit theme, sweet citruses and soft woods.

Perfumer for 202: Karine Dubreuil-Sereni.

A fresh formula which smells like sea spray on pebbles and some driftwood drying in the sun.

Bon Parfumeur open olfactive dimensions and invite you to add your own story. Try 801 if you like the marine theme, dry woody nuances and a touch of sunny citrus.
