The perfume Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver The house of Hermès has, since 1951, continually offered perfumes that express its values of tradition, luxury, prestige and craftsmanship.
The aromatic scent of Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vetiver
Terre d'Hermès is a fragrance that needs no introduction, so well known is its reputation. Created in 2006, it pays tribute to our nurturing earth, to our founding material. Initially, it is a woody and spicy juice designed by Jean-Claude Ellena. Nevertheless, over time, Terre d'Hermès has been reinterpreted several times. In 2009, it became Le Parfum Terre d'Hermès, revealing itself in a more luxurious and powerful version. In 2014, it turned into Terre d'Hermès l'Eau Très Fraîche, chilled with aldehydes and bitter orange. So, what about its new edition, Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vetiver?
Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vetiver, a powerful masculinity
Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vetiver is a very different edition of this cult fragrance, one that definitively breaks with its predecessors. This juice brings it an intensity born of another point of view, of a still unexplored territory of the Earth. As its name suggests, vetiver becomes the highlight of this new edition. Moreover, in a fairly rare occurrence worth noting, it appears right from the opening. Yet vetiver is usually reserved for the base notes of fragrances. Here, it immediately reveals a breath that is rounded, warm, sensual and vigorous. While preserving a certain liveliness, it is nonetheless accompanied by citrus. Their freshness, dominated by the bitter presence of bergamot, is counterbalanced by the incandescent warmth of Sichuan pepper, a green pepper. This surprising composition reveals a woody and mineral sillage at the outset, gradually transforming into a more green woody accord. While the base of Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vetiver is fairly classic for a men's fragrance, its opening, on the other hand, is surprising. This is a very fine achievement signed Christine Nagel.
The first reinterpretation of Terre d'Hermès signed Christine Nagel
If this composition was particularly anticipated, it is simply because it is the first revisiting of Terre d'Hermès by Christine Nagel. Indeed, this fragrance was originally designed by the iconic Jean-Claude Ellena. However, in the meantime, this talented creator succeeded him as Hermès's exclusive nose on January 1, 2016. While this is not her first creation for the brand, Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vetiver indeed brings a fresh perspective to this fragrance. Known for her fragrances with flair, Christine Nagel here signs a surprising juice, blending strength, boldness and creativity. Her spirited and passionate character resurfaces from every angle and could well keep the Terre d'Hermès legend going for a long time yet. Even at my age, I still feel the wonder, the freshness of a young girl, she confides. Moreover, mastering the basics allows me to dose things more. Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vetiver opens a new chapter in its history. It is an evocation of matter and its transformation.
