You still can smell it's aroma even you're smooking....!!
Very amazing & long lasting fragrance....

Some have mentioned a bitterness in the opening notes and I believe it comes from the grapefruit. When I think of citrus, D&G Pour Homme, Boucheron PH, and Boucheron Jaipur's opening come to mind. The openings for those fragrances are more lemon and bergamot, which I find delightful. Terre d'Hermes is a greener, less sparkling and more subdued citrus.
From there, I find that the cedar and vetiver dominate although the patchouli and benzoin's warmth take some of the edge off the cedar.
It reminds me of being in a cedar closet where the cedar has cured over time. It doesn't have that green, pungent cedar aroma but one that is extremely pleasant and comforting. The vetiver gives it a bit of an outdoor smell so that nothing is present that could be categorized as stale. It makes one want to breathe in deeply and savor the subtle warmth of the wood. Others will want to be around you too as I've had numerous compliments.
Terre d'Hermes is different from the aquatics, florals, fruity, and citrusy fragrances I normally prefer. I find it a refreshing change of pace. I wear it to the office with a coat and tie and prefer it in cool weather. Understand that I live on the Gulf Coast of the U.S. where it gets very hot. What I consider cool may actually be warm weather for those of you in cooler climates.


I asked him to let me try his fragrance and what a surprise: the bitter-sweat fruity notes from the beginning were a little harsh but quickly mellowing with the flowery/spicy notes (geranium & a lot of pepper,for sure) gave it a very clearly idea of what a woody spicy fragrance for real men should be in first place.
I let it working on my wrists and hours later I had his best effect: a strong and pleasant woody and manly aroma, that lingers gently on your skin, still a bit spicy but nice balanced with some sweet hints (patchouli, maybe), that somehow ask you to keep on sniffing all day.
More than a pleasant surprise for me, very good sillage and longevity, suitable for any wheater and for sure this will be my next purchase, when I want to smell good and look confident in special occasions.
What can you ask more from a fragrance? My humble ranking 9.5/10

On first application, the citrus opening of orange and grapefruit is awakening and, well, thirst-quenching. But this is only the beginning, of course, for the tope notes patiently give way to a spicy floral heart of peppery rose with a slightly fruity edge, perhaps the lingering citrus zest of the opening notes. Finally, the fragrance slips into a familiar and comfortable earthy and woody drydown of vetiver, cedar, and subtle hints of patchouli and charcoal (not in any way a smoky note but rather a suggestion of old earth). Best of all, the use of natural ingredients allows the notes to transition effortlessly and seamlessly, the way time keeps its own pace.
In summary, Terre d'Hermès is a visit to the “World of Hermès,” an olfactory excursion to one of the oldest fragrance houses in France. The citrus, floral, woody and earthy combination shows me the extent of this design house’s capabilities – like the four corners of the earth and the four cardinal directions. Its casual elegance allows me to wear it comfortably in any occasion, any time of day and anytime of year. In fact, I think it smells fantastic on men and women alike – a true sign of a great scent. It may or may not be everyone else’s favorite, but it belongs in everyone’s collection and will always be a standard of quality in mine. I would that every day could be a discovery like this.

hmm..very2 warming, deepest dan interisting. until 4 days, the wrist still good smell..!
next, i used it in the morning before take my trip with airplane. in all those day, TdH made my activity full of good smell, calm and confidence.
and now a day, in my office i used TdH. so deep, warm, and relaxing.
i never doubt to put Terre D'Hermes the best perfume everytime..
Thank u very much Ellena, i love Terre D'Hermes..!

Puting it in another way: Earth covered by fog on a dry afternoon, sun brushing away the last colours of the sky, and wind carrying the sand of a lonely and faraway desert. How could i express such an aroma in another way? absolutely surreal and powerfully subtle.

wow - this scent it's really great - specialy middlle and base notes.
in tope notes we have red orange. sometimes opening is even sweet for me. but after about hour we have this marvelous terre (earth, soil) notes!! it's calm and strong simultaneously. it's also very masculin all the time.
posters and video very well describe this perfume. we have red orange in top notes ( orange cloud). in middle and base notes we have those "earthy" smells. it smells like desert burn by sun ( in a good way).
really masterpiece!



There is wood & musk but what dominate is pepper (pink & black) with orange “citrus” and a clear hint of flint. I am impressed as what I thought prior to try is … “Black and Pink peppers with flint and benzoin notes may even crash a sensitive nose & senses”… but I was totally wrong. TDH is a composition that really makes you dwell in a deep refreshing aroma of Terre (earth).
Merely a formal wear for day time in summer specially.


Try before buy, but this revolutionary creation seems to be a new classic

But that's the word that came to my mind 5 mins after spitz it on my wrist.
The top notes is ok, decent but not significant but the rest of it...wow!
This scent is so beautiful I want to drop everything I'm doing and close my eyes to absorb the good memories that this scent brings. I will wear it again tomorrow.

One interesting comment, I've heard some say it is the smell of victory.






It captures the name perfectly "Terre", it does have a very earthy smell. It is a perfect blend of the woods and musk notes. I do wish the top citrus notes lasted a little longer. But that is why I wear Eau D`Orange Verte by Hermes.
I have come to love how long wearing this fragrance with out being overpowering. This is one of my fragrance I get the most compliments on.
