Terre d'Hermès

Terre d'Hermès by Hermès is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2006 in the premium price tier. It opens with grapefruit and sweet orange, moves into pink pepper, geranium and flint and dries down to vetiver, cedarwood, benzoin and patchouli. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
• Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.

Heart

• Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
• Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
• Flint Struck stone. Cold, metallic and mineral.

Dry-down

• Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
• Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
• Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
• Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
