It’s an insanely cold and snow covered day today, so I need a cozy fragrance. This one has been fantastic to wear. Just like the OG but with less booze and more woods. I’ll wear the OG on special occasions, and this will come out when I want it but it’s not a special occasion.

Decided to change things up a bit. This was a gift from my son a few years ago. He had the bottle engraved with my initials! I was wearing it all the time and now I realize that its almost gone, so I try to use it sparingly since I do not want to get rid of the bottle and I'm not are how to get the top off without breaking it. But today just seemed like the right day!! SOTD: Hermès - Terre D'Hermès Here's ChatGpt's info on it. Terre d’Hermès – Eau de Toilette Fragrance Family: Woody Citrus / MineralGender: Masculine-leaningStyle: Elegant, clean, earthy, mature, groundedPerfumer: Jean-Claude Ellena (Hermès’ former in-house perfumer)Launched: 2006 This fragrance is widely considered one of the greatest masculine creations in modern perfumery.It is minimalist, refined, and impossibly elegant — the DNA of Hermès bottled. Where most designers go loud and sweet, Terre goes earthy, citrusy, mineral, timeless. ⭐ Scent Profile — Full Pyramid Top Notes - Orange – bright but dry, not juicy - Grapefruit – crisp, bitter, aromatic The opening is classic:fresh citrus, airy, sparkling, but mature — never “youthful cologne” sweet. Heart Notes - Flint (minerals) – the star of the show - Pepper – subtle spicy lifts This “flint” accord is what gives Terre its signature: 🌍 Mineral + dusty + earthy + slightly smoky.It smells like sun-heated stone, crushed granite, or walking through a citrus grove after rain. It’s clean masculinity, the opposite of sweet or heavy. Base Notes - Woody notes – dry cedar, polished and elegant - Oakmoss – mossy depth, classic fougère DNA - Benzoin – subtle resinous sweetness, smooth finish The dry-down is warm, woody, slightly mossy, and immaculate. 🌿 How Terre d’Hermès Smells (Plain Language) Imagine: - Fresh orange peel crushed in your hand - The smell of rocks and warm earth after a summer storm - Dry cedarwood from a high-end workshop - A hint of spicy breeze - A clean shirt under a tailored jacket
