A refined, earthy-woody fragrance blending citrus, minerals, and woods for timeless masculinity
Terre d’Hermès Eau de Toilette is a bold and elegant fragrance that tells the story of man's relationship with the earth, expressing elements of nature through rich, contrasting notes. Designed by master perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena, this scent is an ode to raw materials—spicy, woody, and mineral facets blended into a harmonious whole.
It opens with a refreshing burst of bitter orange and grapefruit, adding a vibrant, zesty start. The heart reveals spicy and mineral notes of pepper and flint, evoking earthy and smoky tones. The fragrance settles into a rich base of woody vetiver, cedar, patchouli, and benzoin, offering a deep, grounded finish that’s warm and masculine.
Terre d’Hermès is ideal for the sophisticated man who appreciates understated elegance and a scent that’s both classic and contemporary.
