Terre d'Hermès Eau Très Fraîche

Hermès · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 2014

≈ $120 · 100ml · approx. retail

A fresher, more citrus-forward flanker of Terre d'Hermès composed by Jean-Claude Ellena and launched in 2014. It opens on bright orange and watery citrus over a familiar woody-mineral base of cedar and patchouli, and has since been largely superseded by Eau Givrée.
