Decanted Sample of Terre D'Hermes by Hermes

The combination of citrus and metallic doesn’t work for me. This is definitely a challenging fragrance up close, but the silage is less offensive.

When I first smelled Tom Ford's Grey Vetiver, I thought one must be insane to wear such a bitter fragrance. But, as it dried down and I continued to smell the sample on a test strip over the next few hours, I came to enjoy it. I wasn't sure if I'd like wearing it, but I could see the appeal for the right man. So, after some research and deciding that Hermes Terre D'Hermes would be a more citrusy/fruity or Midler vetiver fragrance, I purchased a decant to try out.

Yeah... tis just isn't for me. I really liked the strong vetiver and citrus opening, and really believed it might work for me. After a few hours of drying down, D'Hermes seemed to get stronger than Grey Vetiver did, and I could not take it. I appreciate and like smelling the scent in general, but detested it on my own skin long-term. Of all scents I've smelled, these vetivers like D'hermes and the marine scents are the most offensive to my nose. This was a hard pass for me, but I respect those who can stomach it and even love it because it is a cool and very unique masculine scent.

Very nice citrus scent. Heard a lot of people say this was a good one and they were right. Very bright. Decent performance.

I am actually upset with myself because of how long I waited to try this. Citrus, with a hint of earthiness, elegant but wearable at the same time. Great fragrance, especially for the price you can get it for now.

Inoffensive, above average scent. Smells a lot like grass.

The opening has an unusual bubbly almost orange soda-like smell. The vetiver is honestly not that prominent. I do not smell the earthy orangeness of this fragrance until a while into its dry down. Don't get me wrong, it smells good and it is a little interesting, but it's not too particular to me. Nonetheless, it does beat out many spring fragrances in its character. It is pretty long-lasting considering its makeup. And it does have a more memorable character than most spring scents. 7-7.5/10

Smells like dirty oranges, sitting in a wooden basket.  Pleasant, easy going, and also unique compared to the sea of blue, aquatic, and vanilla scents on the market.

For me this is a classic great scent BUT if you want something that is more bold this came across very subtle it for me compared to other stuff I smelled. Overall great but to me its not a "statement" maker.

It seemed generic at first but I do like it. Very earthy. I imagine this is what Cuban grass smells like. Great summer fragrance

This scent is truly a masterpiece. What a unique and classic interpretation of orange and earth. Definitely earthy but the orange and a slight sweetness softens the overall composition. The sums of its parts is magical.

Even though this isn’t a fragrance I appreciate if you like very earthy masculine scents then this is for you. Quality spring scent!

Smells clean

Nice orange citrusy ,woody .Masculine scent . anytime is good to wear

This has an unmistakable orange smell to it, followed by spicy woody undertones. As other reviewers have said, I'd say this is definitely a more mature scent probably suited for people over the age of 30. I couldn't see a highschool kid rocking this. With that said, it's not my personal favorite. I think the longevity is good (8 hours or so) and probably smells better off of someone rather than on me.

I get mostly orange, pepper, cedar and vetiver. You can probably pull this off year round, day or night. Very masculine with a complimentary wood and citrus vibe (not a sweet citrus.) Longevity is alright with maybe 5-6h on my skin. Projection is moderate which is a good thing for this scent. It works.

I absolutely adore Terre D'Hermes. The vetiver is not too strong, perfectly blended and longevity is great.

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Terre D'Hermes. It is a great easy reach that lives up to the hype. Everyone should have this in their collection. Unique and not your typical "men's fragrance" smell.

My wife complimented me! She loved how nice it smells on me. I will purchase again, good fragrance for anytime.

This is a mature citrus and woody scent. Very masculine and easier to wear for more mature men.

Great woody scent. Not for me but could easily see this being a signature scent

This smells like the earth but in a good way. It definitely smells like the springtime.

Dirty orange vetiver.  Refined.

There's a reason this one gets so much hype - its just so so good. Its a solid spring fragrance but has so much depth. Ranks up there with my faves.

I really liked this fragrance.  It has a bit of a dirty citrus opening that may be offputting to some, but I really liked it.  The dry down is amazing and subtle.  Great for formal occasions.
