Eau des Merveilles Bleue (Hermès, 2016, Christine Nagel) is a marine-mineral flanker in the Merveilles line: a salty, iodized sea-air accord over ambergris, juniper, patchouli and dry woods — not a sweet aquatic but a cool, slightly saline coastal-driftwood scent that reads unisex despite its feminine marketing. Because it is a niche designer flanker rather than a blockbuster, dedicated clone consensus is thin: there is no repeated, cross-thread Reddit/Fragrantica pick the way there is for popular designers. The one clearly dedicated, independently-confirmed dupe from a reputable clone house is Dua Fragrances' 'Water of Wonders,' whose own product page explicitly names Eau des Merveilles Bleue as its target; it captures the salty-woody sparkle but by Dua's own admission leans more overtly aquatic/oceanic than the original's drier mineral character, so treat it as a good-value approximation rather than a photocopy. Community discussion otherwise drifts toward loosely-similar designers (Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt, other salty scents) that fans generally agree are same-vibe cousins, not true matches. Confidence is moderate: the clone pairing is verifiable but consensus is limited and match fidelity is only partial.
