Hermès Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Christine Nagel. Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Geranium and Sichuan Pepper, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Frankincense, and Amberwood. It lasts about 6 to 10 hours on skin, carries to about arm's length and is best in autumn. Hermès's Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A masterful vetiver that balances zesty citrus with earthy woods and pepper, delivering a clean yet assertive signature. It radiates understated class and modern masculinity, ideal for those who prefer subtle power over loud statements.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver opens with an invigorating burst of grapefruit and bergamot, their brightness cut by the crackle of Sichuan pepper. At its heart, the earthy, rooty facet of vetiver takes command, joined by gentle florals and resinous olibanum. The drydown is quietly powerful, blending patchouli and amberwood to anchor the composition. The result is a crisp, green-woody scent that feels both airy and deeply grounded, radiating refinement and natural charisma.
