Terre d'Hermès Hermès 2006 Eau de Toilette

... until I found my way to TdH.

At first, the H/S was the problem. I found it had too little projection at that time.

I then stored the bottle away for the winter and only dug it out again in spring. Wow, what a wonderful perfume.

At first, there's the citrus with a vetiver base and a bit of pepper. Once the top note has faded and the dry down begins, TdH reveals its huge potential. The vetiver takes charge, and the citrus moves to the background. Earthy, wonderfully earthy. A hint of smoke and citrus.

The whole thing is beautifully subtle. Not flashy or too loud. Even when the scent has dried down, a little wave of it still hits the nose.

I wear this masterpiece to the office. A wonderful dry signature scent. I didn't appreciate all of this at first.

The 30 ml travel bottle is almost empty. A 100 ml bottle is already at home.

Thank you for reading these few lines.
