A little festive magic in a bottle ✨
Hermès Elixir des Merveilles Eau de Parfum is a surprising woody-amber fragrance that feels made for the Christmas season.

Warm, elegant and quietly luxurious, this scent blends amber, sandalwood and cedar with indulgent touches of vanilla sugar, tonka bean and caramel, softened by Peru balsam, incense and oak. A gentle sparkle of orange peel lifts the fragrance, making it comforting yet refined — perfect for winter evenings and festive celebrations.

This is not a loud Christmas scent; it’s intimate, cosy and beautifully sophisticated. Think candlelight, wrapped gifts, polished wood and a hint of mystery.

✨ Perfect for gifting
✨ Ideal for lovers of warm, ambered fragrances
✨ A timeless Hermès classic for the festive season

Available now at Minihan’s — pop in for a spritz and let this festive favourite work its magic.

About us

Minihan’s Chemist, established by Liam Minihan in 1955, is located at the corner of Oliver Plunkett Street and Winthrop Street, serving the needs of the people of Cork for over 60 years.

Today the business is operated by his nephew John Minihan and his wife Trish who took over the business in 1995.

Minihan’s has survived many changes in the retail environment and many recessions since opening, however retains its distinctive shop front at 108 Oliver Plunkett Street (opposite the GPO).
