What Reddit owners say
4/5 FallDate night“**Terre d'Hermes**.”
4/5 ProjectionOffice“If I want a woody fragrance without iris and lavender, I will pick Chloe Cedrus, Hermes Terre d'Hermes, or the very intense Jovoy Private Label.”
3/5 SweetnessSummer“I think for a fragrance like TDH eau givree, you gotta give it a chance and grow/learn to appreciate the natural scent trail that it provides.”
5/5“Terre d'Hermes. Been wearing it for over a decade and it checks all my boxes: Citrus, woods, vetiver, patchouli, oakmoss, cedar. Translucent but with body, not too heavy or thick, bone dry but still deep and warm. Interesting but never overbearing. Outdoorsy but elegant. Mature but not stuffy or dated. Sexy but not trying too hard to be. It's perfect.”
5/5 Unique“I used to be very into Terre d'Hermès Très Fraiche (RIP) and Terre d'Hermès Eau Givrée but I really really love H24, I think it's so different. Eau de Citron Noir and Eau de Basilic Pourpre are also so good and different.”

5/5 SpringEveryday“Love Terre d'Hermes. Wearing it rn lmaoo. Its definitely my spring 'signature scent'.”
3/5 Value“A lot of people on fragrantica compare Horizon to TdH and while I can see some conceptual connection, these fragrances are not really alike other than sharing a few common notes.”
4/5 SweetnessUnique“TDH EDT was my signature for a couple years so I'm very familiar with the line and have them all except for Parfum Intense.”
5/5 Summer“I have a relatively large collection, but often wore Terre d'Hermes EdT.”
5/5 ValueSummer“The Zoologists, Francesca Bianchis et al have been relegated and I'm now firmly in the Terre D'Hermes and Platinum Egoiste camp, with a bit of Rochas Moustache thrown in for cheery fun.”
4/5“TDH isn't really a blind buy in that sense.”
5/5“But silver linings, I also bought a sample of Terre d'Hermès with it for my bf and it's beautiful.”
2/5 Value“Among the fragrances that handle super-well the extra essence are super-simple combinations of notes, for instance WulongCha, Cactus garden, TdH Vetiver intense, D&G Pour Homme 1994, Eau d'Issey and to some extent Aqua Allegoria Mandarin Ba”
5/5 Unique“I have smelled a lot of different fragrances, and Terre d'Hermes Parfum remains my favourite. There are significant cost savings to being such a Basic Bitch.”
5/5“I have Fattan and TDH both 😭 I like TDH more, Fattan has that medicinal note which is not present in TDH with orange as top note just love it”
4/5“Terre d'Hermes slaps. It smells so good! I bought it for my husband but haven't given it to him yet.”
5/5“I have TDH Eau Givree, bruh that shit lasts for 12 hrs on my shirt and I love it.”
3/5“Cypress Cedar is so close to TdH edt that I was kind of disappointed when I got TdH 😂. Personally I prefer 78 vintage green but this one is nice”
3/5 Headaches“My husband and I are the exceptions to the Terre d'Hermès love, sadly. He blind bought a bottle, and the patchouli was headache-inducing for us both.”
4/5 Fresh & clean“Hermes barenia. In particular i like barenia pleine fleur. OG barenia is less floral. Terre d'Hermes is also great. I have the EDP intense version and it smells like traditional chinese medicine on the dry down. Very earthy. Have you tried the other EA flankers? Gris charnel is warm woody spicy. Im sure there are a ton of other similar scents. Cedrus/cedrus intense by chloe is a fresh woody scent, not warm.”
2/5 Synthetic / harsh“I much prefer TdH EIV.”
4/5“Terre D'Hermes Jardin line, but i know, i saw.”
4/5“I use Vetiver attar or Gilli Mitti(1/2 inch squares roll on) with Fattan/Tdh.”
5/5 Everyday“It's quickly becoming my signature scent. I truly love it and love to recommend it. First time my boss smelled it on me she said “Wow! You smell amazing today!” Sometimes when I wear other fragrances I find myself wishing I had picked TDH”
5/5 Summer“Love TdH. Goes year round. I use Eau Givree more in the summer, but that's no slight on the EDT!”
5/5 Value“Best is so subjective. Do you like sugar bomb gourmands? Woody scents? Fruity unisex fragrances? Relatively inexpensive all-season all-occasion fragrances in my collection that I like: Bulgari Terrae Essence; Lalique Equus; Lalique Encre Noire Sport; Terre d'Hermes (or Sapil Legend as a cheaper, 98% identical clone) and my favorite in this category, Lalique Encre Indigo. But my taste is for dry, woody / earthy / vetiver-heavy fragrances”
5/5 UniqueBatches & reformulation“So true. My bottles have gone through 4 moves to 3 different states... from super humid to now extremely arid. I have a vintage bottle of Terre D'Hermes with real oakmoss and it's a 12 hour masterpiece. It's gotten better. I recently smelled the newest reformulation and it's a shadow of its former self.”
5/5“Lady here. My favorite fragrance is Terre d'Hermes. I wear it with Molecule 1 and I think I smell fantastic!”
4/5“TDH is a great scent, I got a reasonable amount of time. Not 6-7 hr though.”
5/5“Tdh was my first fragrance. Still today i wear it. I feel incredible when i do”
4/5 Winter“TDH was another super popular one with a cult following that I tried and disappointingly just is simply not for me. I wanna get a decant of Issey Sel and test drive it a bit. To me a good freshie is harder to find vs cold weather scents. Blue Talisman actually knocked my socks off from the first smell. Getting the Montagne dupe in the mail since the OG is too pricey for me, hoping it's good 🤞”
1/5 Mass appeal“Is TDH really mass appealing? I've heard it can be challenging due to the metallic note. I tried TDH EDP Intense and wanted to scrub my skin off. That said, I'd still be willing to try the EDT before making any judgement, I know it's a timeless classic.”
5/5“Vetiver Royale from Muzna. Hands down one of the best vetiver frags I've tried, it's a deep and rich vetiver not as dark as Fattan nor as airy as TDH”
5/5“F, love Versace The Dreamer and Terre D'Hermes on me”
3/5 ValueOffice“TdH edt would be my daily if I worked in a more professional setting. Feels strange to dress it down to me, so Eau Givree gets a lot more use. And it's by far the cheapest on the list, so less regret when that bottle level drops. I think the TdH line might be the best value in fragrance.”
5/5“I feel you! The jardin scents are light and not particularly imaginative in my opinion. I had 15 ml vials of four them created by Jean-Claude Ellena. But I sold them all as a package. I have almost parted company with Hermes. I still have Twilly and Terre d'Hermes, but everything else is gone. Twilly is a good performer, but it is not a fancy fragrance. By the way, I love Jean-Claude Ellena as a writer.”
4/5 Fresh & cleanSummer“TDH eau givree is one of my fav summer scents (I own) and I tried Hawas Black (in a shop). Both are nice perfumes that I appreciate, I would say TDH is more fresh and citrusy Hawas is more classic and professional. Me being a citrus lover I prefer TDH but both are great ngl and Hawas projects/ stays more”
4/5“I was leaning toward Hermes initially but the more I thought about it, I think I'd go with Prada. They have a lot of choice and I enjoy almost everything I've tried from them. While TdH will probably always be the first thing I reach for, if I had to limit myself to one house for eternity, I think I'd be happier with Prada.”
4/5 SweetnessSummer“I mean, you do you, but even some of the best signature fragrances out there can get cloying once you go above 25°C. TdH is my signature and I can wear it on very hot days without a problem, but I recently got a decant of Eau Givrée and the difference when you wear a fragrance that's actually made for extreme heat is night and day. It actually brought me comfort in the heat as opposed to just making me feel like I smelled good.”
4/5“MYSLF and TDH are my favorites of them all. The TDH flankers cover every season just by themselves. I really like nuit. I have actually thought about that, except I would want to keep the entire TDH line. You've given me a lot to think about”
