Perfumist: Jean Claudie Elena.
Countains notes of orange, grapefruit, pepper, flint rock, pink pepper, geranium, patchouli, cedar, vetiver, benzoin.
It represents the smell of the Earth. And It's a fantastic intepretation of It. The best around.
It starts citrusy, sparkling little aquatic, and mildly sweet.
Inmediately, here comes a cascade of different notes that fades, (but not completely) the orange accord, and move the formula in an another dimension much drier: lots of pepper, little of cedar wood, the vetiver root, earthy and vivid and soft patchouli.
All this notes start to blend with the others and the composition starts to get a little softer, while the fantastic mineral note of the flint rock apears.
Flint is a sedimentary rock and consists predominantly of silica, with occasional impurities such as calcite, iron oxides, clay minerals, and the organic remains of marine organisms also made of silica.
At this time you'll get this fascinant-mineralistic note, sometimes even marine, that blends perfectly with the accord of the vetiver root, giving that moody, salty twist at the piramyd. All we know at this stage that this accord is a fantastic, very natural synthetic reinterpretation of mineral odor, (probably added by the Isonomer 24), but what the hake, we all love it!.
A hint of slightly metal too brought with the geranium leaves.
The result is not a deep fragance, as It's much light and ethereal as you can think.
Comparing Terre D'Hermes, wrist to wrist, with Eau des merveilles, I found here,quite a lot of similarities, ( I always found the Merveilles highly unisex), and I could say Terre can be the male version of the marvellous previous perfume.
For sure, both wonderfully well finished.
