Hermès

Terre d'Hermès is built on grapefruit and cedar. These materials appear throughout the range alongside orange and vetiver. The house works with a foundation of woody and citrus accords. Fresh spicy notes run through the collection as well. Aromatic qualities turn up alongside the woods, as do warm spicy and earthy elements. The compositions rely on the tension between bright citrus top notes and grounding woody bases. Orange provides a softer fruit facet next to the sharper grapefruit. Vetiver adds an earthy depth to the cedar. The result is a catalogue that moves between crisp freshness and dry wood. The materials are consistent across the different entries. Citrus and wood form the core of the identity here.
