Fragrance Notes
Terre d'Hermès
Terre d'Hermès Parfum is the most concentrated version of the fragrance and the one where Jean-Claude Ellena's restraint is clearest. Four materials, and nothing hidden.
Orange and grapefruit open it bright and bitter, the same citrus signature that runs through the whole line, though at this concentration it reads denser and less sparkling than in the eau de toilette.
What follows is unusual: there is no floral heart at all. The fragrance moves directly from citrus into its base, which is why it smells so coherent and why it never seems to change character as it dries down.
Oakmoss and benzoin make up that base. Oakmoss gives it damp earth and bitterness, benzoin adds a soft resinous warmth, and between them they hold the citrus in place for far longer than citrus usually survives.
How Terre d'Hermès Parfum wears
It lasts a long time and projects moderately, which at parfum strength means it stays close while lasting into the next day. It suits every season and any occasion.
Terre d'Hermès Parfum, created by Jean-Claude Ellena in 2009 for Hermès, the Paris house founded in 1837.
