Terre d’Hermès Parfum, when man meets nature. The story of the Hermès house begins in 1837. At that time, Thierry Hermès is 36 years old and opens a small shop as a master harness maker and saddler. He makes and sells harnesses as well as equipment for horses.
Hermès ranks among the most emblematic French luxury houses. Shining as much through its leather goods as through its perfumery, it never ceases to dazzle with creations that are always understated yet timeless. And it is precisely in this register that the masculine saga Terre d’Hermès fits. In 2009, this Eau de Toilette gives rise to Terre d’Hermès Parfum, a juice with exceptional density. But what about its bottle? Let us see how Hermès chose to reveal its virile and soothing strength.
The story of Hermès's H bottle
Terre d’Hermès Parfum comes in the same bottle as its predecessor. Beneath its stripped-down appearance, did you know that this bottle has its own name? It is called the H bottle… But why was it given this name? You may not have noticed, but the glass base of this bottle indeed forms an H. This will not have escaped you: it is the initial of the Hermès house. Moreover, it must be acknowledged that this letter holds more than one advantage. It gives this bottle a stable, solid footing. From then on, one need only set this bottle down in the ochre earth, as in the Hermès advertisement, to leave an indelible imprint on the ground. Thus, the H of Hermès appears directly on our founding material.
The understated style of the Terre d’Hermès Parfum bottle
Just like its predecessor, the bottle of Terre d’Hermès Parfum plays the card of purity and transparency. With it, no superfluous detail has a place. Inspired by the raw, mineral richness of natural elements, the Hermès bottle allows itself no embellishment. It relies on perfectly transparent, crystalline glass, whose thick walls are the guarantee of extreme quality. This only gives it more presence and composure. Thus, this bottle is conceived in the image of a man sure of himself, firmly rooted on his feet and on the ground. The glass, meanwhile, gives the impression that this bottle is designed with the lightness of clouds. So as not to break this fragile balance, the name Terre d’Hermès Parfum appears in fine lettering.
The other details of the Terre d’Hermès Parfum bottle
As for the rest of this bottle, the elements are substantially the same as in the first version of Terre d’Hermès from 2007. Only the color of its juice has been slightly darkened. This time, it becomes more amber than before. The cap of Terre d’Hermès Parfum, meanwhile, contrasts with the overall transparency of this bottle. It is made in an opaque black, powerful and masculine. The neck of Terre d’Hermès Parfum appears in shimmering chrome metal. Finally, the whole rests on a slightly orange-tinted base. Here again, Hermès echoes the ochre color of the earth, as if this fragrance emerged straight from a clay desert. More than ever, Hermès echoes the earth on which we all rest. This only gives a more universal reach to this masculine fragrance.
