Terre D'Hermes Eau Intense Vetiver, launched in 2018, is Christine Nagel's captivating reinterpretation of the iconic Terre D'Hermes. This Eau de Parfum offers a new luminous vibration, an unprecedented expression of the power and depth of the Terre fragrance. It beckons men to explore another dimension of this celebrated scent, presenting a new facet that is both intense and invigorating.
The fragrance is built around the profound depth of vetiver, a note inherent to Terre D'Hermes since its inception. Nagel masterfully combines this earthy essence with the lively zest of green bergamot and the subtle spice of Sichuan pepper. This creates an olfactory experience that shifts the original woody and mineral balance to a more pronounced woody and vegetal character. The result is a scent that is both powerful and refined, embodying a sophisticated masculinity.
The bottle itself is a testament to Hermès' commitment to design and detail. The original cap is reimagined in a warm, sun-tanned leather hue, complementing the deeper orange shade of the base, which features an embossed 'H'. The metal shoulders of the bottle intensify and reflect light, adding a touch of brilliance. Inspired by a vintage travel vanity case bottle housed in the Emile Hermès Museum, designer Philippe Mouquet has infused this vessel with the brand's signature elegance and heritage.
Every element of the Terre D'Hermes Eau Intense Vetiver bottle speaks of the Hermès craft. Holding it reveals subtle yet significant details, such as the iconic saddle nail and the ingenious sliding cover that discreetly conceals the spray mechanism. This attention to detail elevates the fragrance from a mere scent to a tactile and visual experience, reflecting the luxury and meticulous craftsmanship synonymous with the Hermès house.
