Hermès
Terre d'Hermes Parfum
“Orange and grapefruit over flint and oakmoss — Terre at its densest, mature and quiet.”

The Parfum concentration of Hermès' Terre d'Hermès line — Jean-Claude Ellena's 2009 launch, a denser, more mineral-resinous take on the EDT. Orange and grapefruit at the top, a flint heart, settling on an oakmoss-benzoin drydown. Versatile across seasons, daytime-leaning.
