Perfume Thursday: Terre d'Hermes by Hermes

Today's perfume, Terre d'Hermes, actually had a couple of us feeling a little weak at the knees upon the mere mention of its name!

It's a true favourite in the Plush Folly office with many of us knowing (or wishing we knew!) someone who wears it.

It has a fierce and bold opening packed full of vibrant citrus notes including sharp grapefruit and tangy orange. But there's also heavy and delicious helpings of vetiver and black pepper to ground it nicely. 

It contains Iso E Super and while the majority of us can only just detect it, at the beginning Elaine gets a heavy helping of it, and while she thinks it lovely, that's what's screaming out at her. However the longer she wears it the more she's presented with the glorious overall scent that is Terre d'Hermes.

As it warms and develops on the skin it maintains a fresh/green scent right through to the end but with added bursts of citrus grabbing your attention constantly.

Despite conjuring up images of established well-dressed men in their thirties, we think this scent gives off an ultimate sophisticated-cool impression that we think someone of any age could pull off. If you want to impress someone, this is how you do it!

Our favourite comment? "Fades to how I imagine George Clooney's skin would smell - subtle, classy, sensual". How very naughty of us!

Has anyone else had the pleasure of smelling Hermes' Terre d'Hermes? What do you think?
