Terre d'hermes

The opening is intense and special. Burnt licorice with the well-known Terre note. The opening lasts only a short time and then it changes into a youthful Terre d'Hermes. I think the opening will put off the seasoned Terre user. But I think this scent will attract a whole new fan base to Hermes.
Very fun and innovative flanker for me.

Great addition to the TdH family

I was looking forward to sampling this new TdH flanker and was surprised at how good it turned out to be. In the opening, I got a bit of citrus but the coffee and licorice immediately dominated. First the coffee was more forward but as it dried down, the licorice was more prominent. This was followed by a mineral-y--earthy accord that was at first strong but then retreated as it dried down. For my taste, I would have preferred the mineral-y and earthy scent to remain a bit stronger but it was there, under the licorice. Also noticed a very subtle sweetness.

Longevity has been quite good for me. I was getting strong whiffs even at the 10 hour mark. Projection is more moderate, with the fragrance forming a compact scent bubble after about the 2 hours or so.

Overall, a very nice fragrance and artful addition to the TdH family, albeit a more distant relative. I'm looking forward to getting a bottle.

Terre d'Hermes DNA + soft coffee and licorice

Opening is a bit harsh, may be because of the licorice. But after 45 min it becomes a very elegant scent. It's all about subtlety. You get that soft coffee and soft licorice blended with the original Terre d'Hermes DNA. It's very classy/sexy. I would wear it during winter and fall. Projection is moderate and it stays long on skin.

The gourmandification of a perfumery icon for the modern days - I like it more than the OG

When a fragrance as iconic as Terre d'Hermès gets an update (or a new flanker), expectations are high. After all, the original Jean-Claude Ellena masterpiece has been the benchmark for sophisticated, mineral-citrus masculinity for nearly two decades. Terre d'Hermès Eau de Parfum Intense is Christine Nagel’s take on making it relevant for the contemporary days... and I think she’s done it.

I’ll be the first to admit, my initial impression was lukewarm. I dismissed it as yet another flanker attempting to cash in on nostalgia or simply the original success. But after giving it a second try, I realized that this is the contemporary Terre d'Hermès we didn’t know we needed. It respects the DNA of the original while reworking it into something deeper, richer, and dare I say... better!

The signature mineral-grapefruit opening is still here, but what follows takes the scent into uncharted (but not unfamiliar) territory. The addition of coffee and licorice pulls Terre into a darker space, vaguely reminiscent of the spiced, syrupy depth of Sauvage Elixir, yet without the bombastic nature. These gourmand touches don’t overpower the composition but rather complement the earthy vetiver and flint (or lava stone?) with an almost roasted, subtly bitter warmth. It’s as if Terre d’Hermès traded its airy, sunlit dryness for something more brooding and complex.

All in all, this isn’t a reinvention, but rather a refinement. A modernization that feels natural rather than forced. The elegance of Terre d’Hermès remains intact.
For longtime fans of the original, this might take some adjustment, but I believe it’s the Terre that truly moves the story forward after 20 years. And unlike some attempts at “updating” classics (Dior Fahrenheit Le Parfum, anyone?), this one feels like a genuine evolution rather than a side-step.

I didn’t think I’d say this, but Terre d’Hermès Eau de Parfum Intense might just be the definitive version of the fragrance.

Licorice Amber Terre d' Hermes!

The original DNA it's still present here's don't get fooled by those who haven't even tested the perfume on their skin. So we have a terre de Hermes perfume with an addition of licorice and a warm amber in the base, which reminds us of that imaginary accord of lava. superb head and tail and has a lot to do with the original! Don't be fooled by fake reviewers, get and test the perfume on your skin! Nagel, flawless as usual, Hermes could never fail!
