When a Woman places her name on a Perfume............

it must be special. And this perfume is special. The top note is something I have never experienced before and it is quite lovely. It's on sale at Nordstrom now, if interested. This perfume is quite unique, inviting and another beautiful perfume from Trish McEvoy.

Notes:

- Top: musk, almond flowers, blue lotus.

- Middle: tonka beans, white amber.

- Base: cashmere musk, Indian sandalwood.

@Katcat1 Did you purchase this? You are way more perfume savvy than me!

It's not only body chemistry that compliments a fragrance. Or, I guess the other way 'round. Like taste buds, which are individual to a person, so are the olfactory buds.

Musk as a top note? It is confusing to me the order of some of the notes listed in this fragrance. But I would smell anything once. I'm just really fussy these days when it comes to fragrance.

@Harpa Of course this is my opinion but it really has a unique scent. Trish McEvoy grew up around her grandmother's perfumery in Germany so I am sure she learned from her grandmother about perfume. I purchased this and I also purchased Sexy 9 which is my number one perfume. Both were on sale. The order of the Notes is accurate. You have to remember we don't know the ratio of the ingredients.

@Katcat1 I haven't tried this and don't know what it smells like but Hermes Merveilles smells like nothing I have ever smelled before too.

It is fresh, bright and uplifting but not really citrus or anything I can really put my finger on. It is my favorite unique scent. I like a few other classics, but all of those I can identify a scent. This one, might be the one if I could have one scent only!

I may try this! I love her other scents! To me No. 9 is a more sophisticated Falling in Love. It doesn't hit you in the face.

@Katcat1

Hmm. What "type" of fragrance would you say this is .... floral, woodsy, oriental .... any idea?

@SoonerLater No. 9 is light and pretty but does not last long but I still like it. Sexy 9 I absolutely love as it is warm like someone is wrapping their arms arund you and it lingers. Trish has this unique scent that I can't identify but there is some warmth perhaps a spicy woody scen that lingerst. It's best to test out in the store but you can also purchase and if it does not agree with you, Nordsrom will take it backj.

@Tinkrbl44 @monicakm It's hard for me to describe because I am not familiar with some of the ingredients. I say spicy woody but you either go in the store or purchase and return if it does not agree with you, With all her beautiful scents she would not put her name on this if it were not special.

@Katcat1

Wow ... it's funny what triggers the memory of long-ago scent! I just read your post and suddenly was taken back to the 60's or 70's and recall a fragrance called Woodhue. It was a spicy woody fragrance. A sudden, vivid recollection.

@ECBG She has a few perfumes that are definitely out of my league $200 or more but I would love to smell them. She has a brand new one for Christmas called X. I love to smell long stem roses but I do not like rose in perfume.

I don't understand your comment .... Why would you "trust" Trish ... and not others? What are you basing this on?

@SoonerLater No. 9 although very pretty is very light and does not linger so you need a purse spray to freshen up. Sexy 9 lingers and is a beautiful scent (my favorite). I am not crazy about the name but the scent is warm and inviting. What are the different notes in Hermes Merveilles?

In my experiences, she has a background of superior products and would have wonderful fragrance products.

Thanks for recommending Hermes Eau Des Mereveilles, @SoonerLater. I ordered a sample and was instantly impressed. DH likes it too. Winner! I'm sure I will order a full bottle soon.
