Crafted in 2006 by Jean-Claude Ellena, Terre d’Hermès serves as a metaphor for raw materials—a foundational essence that evokes not only territory, but also matter, earth, and roots.
This vertically structured fragrance draws its character from a masterful alchemy of wood. It opens with the bright cheer of orange, the crisp bitterness of grapefruit, and the zesty vivacity of pepper paired with fresh spices. This "vegetal warmth" playfully mingles with the mineral sharpness of flint and the earthy coarseness of vetiver. Anchored by the robust presence of cedar, the scent deepens further, enriched by the subtle sweetness of resins and the delicate, almost ethereal voluptuousness of benzoin.
