Citrus and Wood Yardley for men

I bought this one blind from Marshalls around a month ago. When I 1st smelled this one I knew I smelled this before so I went through all of my samples and ahaa..... Terre D' Hermes. I'm not a fan of Terre D' Hermes, it's just a little to harsh for me. For anyone that wants to save around $40-$50 go with this instead of Hermes. I don't dislike this scent, it's just not my style.

The best men's fragrance from Yardley. Refreshing. Makes you feel good. But the fragrance does not last long.

I bought this for $8 @ tj maxx the other day as a blind buy because it was so cheap and I love woody fragrances with light citrus. This is a great smelling little fragrance. It's really sharp and to the point on opening. I smell the citrus immediately...more like grapefruit with lime and spicyness. It settles down to a crisp vetiver/bergamot combination that smells very very good. It doesn't last very long on me... maybe a couple hours at most but at 8 bucks, who cares? I bet it will last a lot longer in the hot weather. Oh, I've never smelled Terre de hermes but I get a much lighter Encre noir on the drydown, maybe its the vetiver and wood.

Terre d´ Hermes? Yes, but minus patchouly.

Really, this is the twin-brother of Terre d'Hermes. For lovers of Terre that have a small pocket, this is a great option.

By the way, this is a great spicy and earthy smell. I put it on when I'm wearing brown or if I'm feeling environment friendly. Very natural, out-doorsy, and deep. It's not your everyday freshie aquatic predictable fragrance, this is more along the lines of Terre D'Hermes.

BTW, I kow the note listing includes lime. I experience it as a sharp orange.

Found this in TJ Maxx a few weeks ago. They were having a huge fragrance sale. I wondered why something so recently released was at such a discounted price? I bought two w/out even smelling it. I love the Yardley Sandalwood powder so I took the risk. It's a good woody scent with a citrus note that I wish were more tangerine than orange. I have worn it twice. Women seem to like it. I also use it to scent my bedding. I hope this scent helps to push Yardley further into the present frag market.

Hmmm... Is that the same logo on the box that can be found on Creed? Anyway, I have been a fan of Yardley soap products for a long time, and it's no brainer not to get this fragrance when I saw it at a bargain (Gotta love TJ Maxx!)

Yes, I get a similarity to Terre d'Hermes too. The obvious differences that I can think of would be the Yardley is more simple and more about clean green lime while Terre d'Hermes is more complex and rich in orangey notes. Plus, I get a lot more of bitter vetiver than heavier cedar. It is fresh, invigorating, strong, and can be a little sharp. Nonetheless, it is nice and very inexpensive for what it is. I welcome it 100% to my collection.

Smells very much like Terre D'Hermes. It doesn't project as well as TdH and smells more wood than citrus to me.
I think I like it better than TdH, but that might just because it was dirt cheap ($8) and that's the kind of girl I am.

The title alone made me buy it. I found it at TJ Maxx and decided it was time for something new, and this sounded so interesting and fancy... Yardley in London! How fancy does that sound! Anyway, it smells quite like Terre de Hermes as others have pointed out, but a little more noticeable (not that subtle is a bad thing). I like this frag, it's a great, unique addition to anyone's collection.

Well it opens with a sharp burst of piney lemon elemi. like inside a strange new dresser drawer piece of furiture. That's what you get. I've smelled this before some where and can't place it. It's driving me crazy. Like medicine. I will look upon this bottle with much trepidation,fear, and apprehension every time I see it in my collection.

this smells as close to terre de hermes as you will find. I do have terre de hermes and quite love it. However, today I just came across a bottle of Yardley Citrus and Wood. I purchased it without testing as the price was to good to pass up. Once home, upon intial spray I said to myself this smells really familiar. Then it hit me. Terre de hermes ! It basically has the same notes. Citrus on the top and vetiver in the base. Yardley C W is a nice fragrance though it smells like something I already own. There are slight differences but nothing big or unpleasant. If you already own terre de hermes, Yardley C W will still be a nice addition. This is something you can put in your gym bag or take during traveling, while saving your terre de hermes for more special moments. If you don't have terre de hermes and find it to expensive, Yardley C W is a nice solution as it doesn't come off smelling like a cheap imitation. I do like this one.

To start we have a lovely opening of lime and bergamot nicely blended. Then it gets more potent, woody and soapy with great sillage - it's a very pleasant long lasting drydown. Yardley have produced a very nice retro cologne here. Got this online from Fragrance Direct UK and it wasn't expensive - a very good purchase - nice bottle and packaging too. I tried Terre de Hermes at the airport duty free and immediately thought "Yardley Citrus & Wood". A gorgeous frag and a bargain. Never mind the price, this is up there with the very best.

We've been waiting long for the legendary manufacturers of toiletries to provide men with a new fragrance but the wait was worth it. This little gem which can be purchased at a very reasonable price will never let you down. The citrus notes don't seem to dominate the whole, the scent develops rather towards the woodsy overtones - and that's very, very masculine. To cut a long story short - go for it! It's bound to become a modern classic soon.
