Hermes Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vetiver - Eau de Parfum Spray 50ml

Product Information

The end of the original was marked by cedar, so strong that one involuntarily had to think of a pencil-sharpening assistant accountant. Now, with a good shot of vetiver on it, it smells like a lot more authority. So rather head of finance and controlling.

But now the BUT: because I should perhaps have paid more attention to the "Intense". Here are the details: The strength of vetiver mixed with the vitality of the Sichuan pepper and green bergamot. On the horizon, another Terre. Vetiver, inherent to Terre since its origins, is the culmination of this new composition. The initial woody and mineral balance of Terre becomes woody and vegetal. Edit Feb21 : Offensichtlich bin ich nun reif genug für diesen Duft, nachdem die morgendliche 12° Grad Dusche für mein dreimonatiges Ironman-Training noch die entspannendste Übung war... (o.k. das war gelogen;) Hermès in-house perfumer Christine Nagel developed Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver, and its description is pretty straightforward: Otherwise, it is just a fairly linear Vetiver representative of the also for itself in the Hermès portfolio could be led, but otherwise would not have attracted so much attention.

Pharmacy product

I have to be honest: personally I would not have bought it, because although I have nothing against vetiver in principle, it is not my favourite ingredient and I prefer other fragrances and scents. In this respect one should not overdo it with the dosage; 4 splashes are completely sufficient on the skin, on clothes already 2-3. Da war zunächst der Auftakt mit den leicht fauligen Orangen. Man hat nun einen guten Schuss Bergamotte dazu getan und dadurch ein bisschen die Anmutung von Grapefruit erhalten, was angenehm herb-frisch rüberkommt. But either my scent preference has evolved after 1.5 years more in the direction of tartness, and / or this fragrance has become a little more pleasing. In fact, it seems to me now no longer quite so harsh, bitter and repellent austere, but optimally balanced (even the bergamot holds out longer in my batch). In short: This Hermes is now in my Top10 ascended and an unconditional recommendation for masculine perfumes. I received compliments from both sexes, but surprisingly I was increasingly approached by men who thought that I would appear "very masculine" and "more experienced" with the fragrance, women found it either pleasant or "too macho"

And that's actually how you wish a fragrance to be, isn't it? Already, but for me this direction is just too masculine. I consider it a top fragrance when it should go into a sour, strong cool green woodiness and you are not looking for anything in the direction of barbershop. But although I did not really want to admit it and this vetiver would actually have to fit quite well to me, I could not make friends over the months but so right with him, because he was simply too concise, striking and dominant to me.

And what was waiting for me? Citrus, citrus and more citrus. The very strong and distinctive, yet round and not artificial-looking bergamot is the prelude to Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver. For the first 15-20 minutes I perceive almost exclusively the "green-natural" looking bergamot, but to which I am increasingly added the vetiver, which for me is more earthy than woody. Also a certain sharpness is now perceptible thanks to the Szechuan pepper, which in my opinion is good for the fragrance and gives it that certain "pep".

But now it had been bought and given to me as a present - the return period has unfortunately expired - and so I sprayed impartially, but not with the greatest expectations, on the very special (in a positive sense) bottle, but more about that later. The durability gets 9 points from me and the Sillage 7 points, because the scent projects 1.5 on my skin and 3 hours over one meter on my clothes and lasts / is perceptible on my skin for more than 10 hours and on my clothes almost the whole day until late evening. In my eyes this is worthy of an eau de parfum. Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver, because of its bergamot and peppery vetiver, I think it fits especially well in spring and autumn, for me it is too light for winter, too heavy for summer. It fits perfectly into everyday life and is well suited for school / university / work and leisure time, but for special occasions and / or going out you should count on other fragrances, because for something like this the Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver is too - badly formulated - "boring" and too monotonous - it is not particularly aphrodisiacal either.Vetiver hat einen guten Klang, darin muss man wohl den Grund für solche Namesgebungen sehen. Ich halte wenig davon, Parfums mit Duftnoten zu bezeichnen, die dann nicht oder kaum wahrnehmbar sind. Das verwirrt, vor allem den Parfumanfänger. Nevertheless, I give him - despite my probably positive description - only 7 points, one point I deduct because the scent is too linear and "too uncomplex", one because of the vector, which seems too earthy and not woody enough, and one because I personally miss something sweet. Whereby I would like to praise in particular the fact that all in all it is a very distinctive and masculine scent, which in my opinion not everyone can wear, since with it one is very likely to attract attention and radiate (male) authority. Der Duft eröffnet zitrisch-frisch, wobei die als Bergamotte bezeichnete Note ungewöhnlich lange hält. Sie erschien mir etwas anders, nicht ganz typisch. Der Schluss liegt nahe, dass statt des natürlichen Bergamotteöls ein synthetischer Duftstoff verwendet worden sein könnte. Hinter das Zitrische stellt sich eine frische grüne Note, die ich als "gurkig" empfunden habe - eine seltsame Kombination für einen Herrenduft. The bottle receives 7 points from me! The glass has an intimated "H" shape, also at the bottom. A "metal plate" with integrated sprayer is attached to the top of the glass. On the sprayer is engraved "Hermes", the cap that encloses the sprayer has to be turned to make the sprayer visible and is held in a matching brown tone. Simply a great design. Why do I still deduct three points?

Ansonsten ist es halt ein recht linearer Vetiver-Vertreter der auch für sich im Hermès Portfolio geführt werden könnte, aber ansonsten nicht so viel Aufmerksamkeit auf sich gezogen hätte.Hermes Vetiver opens with a powerful bergamot, which does not come across pointed, but deep, round, full and acidic - just great. But right from the start, with about 50%, there is a woody green note that provides a dry counterpoint to its striking freshness, but complements it quite well. Funnily enough, for about 10 minutes, the flint known from Terre d'Hermès can also be perceived, but only skin-deep and then only homeopathically ... Unfortunately, the tart citrus soon recedes to about half, while the vetiver increasingly gains the upper hand. What you smell from the second hour, is a fresh citrus interwoven dry dark green wood, which creates a very linear course with a neat pinch of pepper. As I left Nordstrom and went shopping around town, I noticed a rose geranium note emerge in Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver's mid-development, and it was joined by rich (but still citrus-y) vetiver. At the end of hour No. 1 of wear, I was still itching for a bottle of Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver. Then — Iso E Super barged into the proceedings. Iso E Super is augmented with vetiver, talc-y citrus and something woody-musky (its own cedar-y reflection?) For those of you wondering, the Hermès PR is accurate; the "mineral"/flint note of original Terre d'Hermès (to me, its most interesting aspect) is missing in Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver. Und das mit Power. Denn Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver strahlt siginfikant ab, für ca. 8 Stunden. Dabei empfand ich ihn am besten mit 3-4 Spritzern auf der Brust, was ihm beim Übergehen auf's Shirt die kräftige Sillage und andauernde Haltbarkeit verschafft. Sollte man in diesem Bereich über Haare verfügen, richtet sich jedes einzelne davon auf und auch man selbst nimmt unweigerlich eine kerzengerade Haltung an;) In der Tradition von Ellena wird man von Hermès keine überkomplexen Parfums erwarten dürfen. Ein paar gut kombinierte Riechstoffe - das muss reichen. Dieser Linie folgt auch Christine Nagel, aber mit Einschränkung. Den Kopf mit Gurkennote finde ich reichlich verstiegen; mich spricht das nicht an. One thing in advance: with this offshoot, you should not expect a direct flanker of the well-known and popular TdH. Rather, Terre d'Hermès Intense Vétiver is an independent fragrance that has only the citrus-fresh direction in common with the namesake.
