Transcript:
Terre d'Hermès by Hermès is a popular eau de toilette for men, and its popularity is justified. It's bright and fresh without being cheesy or clumsy. It's clean without being soapy.

Terre d'Hermès has a sharp, grapefruit attack that opens up into pepper and rosy geranium. Vetiver, which can be dense and rooty smelling, has a sheer treatment here.

Theres a mineral flintiness in the scent, which gives it effervescence. Even though "terre", French for "earth", is in the name, it's not an earthy fragrance. I'd say it's a refined rugged scent.

Three years after the introduction of the eau de toilette - comes the parfum version. It was created by master perfumer Jean Claude Ellena, the superstar nose behind the original Terre d'Hermès.

It's really rare to see masculine scents issued in this full strength concentration - and I don't know why that is.

Aw shucks - eau de colognes good enough you, Mister! Eau de toilette if you're feelin' like a flashy, dandified devil. Oh yeah! You know when that is.

But with Terre d'Hermès parfum, all the good stuff in the eau de toilette just got gooder.

The flintiness of the original is fuller and richer in the parfum, smelling more like the earth that covers rocks, rather than the rocks themselves.

You don't linger on the acidic grapefruit anymore. Instead, there's a sweeter orange note, and the underlying woods are warmer, with a mossy quality.


As you'd expect with a pure parfum, the effect is softer and deeper than the eau de toilette version. I love this new Terre d'Hermès!

I'm so glad Hermès did right by the menfolk and treated them to the joy of high concentrations of high caliber ingredients. Hooray for "les dudes"! I'm Katie Puckrik, and I smell.

Katie, love your reviews. Would you say that Terre d'Hermes pure parfum can be worn by a woman? I don't like sweet fragrances and love woods.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@lagiseti Yes! Both the edt and parfum work for women who love to wear woodsy fragrances. Women who love woods and men who love deep orientals should always "cross the aisle" to get their fragrance needs met.

When I first tried this it reminded me of something I couldn't put my finger on. A couple of days later I remembered what it was...solder. To me at least, this smells identical to melted solder. Which isn't something you want to smell of.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@ZENOG3N Oh weird! That's so specific, and you're right, once that's in your head, you're not going to be happy if you associate it with this fragrance.

I like watch your review, they are so lively.

By the way, I just bought Terre D'Hermès Pure Parfume and I love it.

I do not like the sharp citrus notes in EDT, but I love the Pure Pafume version.

Living in hot & humid tropical country, this perfume's longevity is insane, I can still smell it after 8 - 10 hours.

@taewittawat Thanks for the feedback on the parfum version. So glad you're digging KP Smells!

[sf2explus]

@Marco686marques i agree if you like the green vibe go for farenhight. if you like clean go for terre. nut both are clean having said that i think its two classics worth having in any wardrobe and also reccomend 50 ml bottle of both they do last long only need 1 spray and thats it maybe two in the cold. if your into this style of scent i reccoment Guerlain homme EDT amazing scent

[Marco686marques]

@sf2explus It's nice to know that someone has the same opinion as me, yesterday I didn't know which one to choose, they're so diffeernt but both good :D
