Fragrance Composition
Terre d'Hermes presents a multi-layered olfactory journey beginning with fresh top notes featuring zesty grapefruit and pure orange, supported by a unique mineral touch of flint that adds immediate depth and appeal. These are followed by middle notes that gradually emerge to reveal a blend of spicy pepper, herbal geranium leaves, and earthy patchouli extract that adds warmth and balance to the composition.
The fragrance finally settles on warm base notes including noble cedarwood, earthy vetiver, and aromatic frankincense, forming a solid aromatic foundation that lasts for hours on the skin.
