Terre d'Hermès
Hermès · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 2006
≈ $125 · 100ml · approx. retail
A mineral, fruity-woody signature that opens on bright orange and grapefruit before settling into a dry, earthy heart of pepper and flinty vetiver. The patchouli, cedar and benzoin base lends a rooted, sunlit-soil warmth that feels both rugged and elegantly restrained.
