Fiery energy and masculine charm

Terre d’Hermès EDP Intense is inspired by the depths of the earth and the fiery energy rising to the surface. The fragrance embodies the courage and sensuality of the modern man and plays on the contrast between fresh and deep notes. The fiery reddish-brown tone of the flacon and the black matte cap reminiscent of lava underline the powerful character of the scent. It is a fragrance for a man who wants to make an impression both by day and in the evening.

Fragrance composition: the notes

Terre d’Hermès EDP Intense is a woody fragrance that combines freshness and depth:

  • Top notes: bergamot, black pepper – a bright and spicy opening.
  • Heart notes: coffee, licorice – an energetic and soft heart.
  • Base notes: woody notes, lava, stone – a deep and resonant finish.

The fragrance opens with a citrusy flash of bergamot complemented by the spiciness of black pepper, moves on to the warm heart of coffee and licorice, and ends with a woody, mineral base reminiscent of the depths of the earth.

First impression: freshness and spice

On first contact, Terre d’Hermès EDP Intense brings out the bright freshness of bergamot and the sharp spiciness of black pepper, creating an energetic and masculine start. The bright opening soon softens, and coffee and licorice add depth that suits cooler days perfectly.

Development through the day: depth unfolds

Over the course of the day the fragrance develops in layers. The morning freshness gives way to the warm heart of coffee and licorice, which adds elegance and character. By evening the woody and mineral base notes come to the fore, leaving a deep and memorable trail – suitable for both a working day and evening events.

Evening charm: intense warmth

In the evening, Terre d’Hermès EDP Intense shows its full strength, as the woody notes with accents of lava and stone bring out the warm and sensual side of the scent. The softness of coffee and licorice adds allure, making it an ideal choice for evening dates and special moments.

Long-lasting: a powerful scent trail

This fragrance is made to last: it stays on the skin for a long time and leaves a powerful yet refined trail. The freshness of bergamot, the depth of coffee and the woody base blend harmoniously, offering a scent that suits a man with a fast-paced lifestyle.
