No. 481 nods to Hermes Terre d'Hermes' earthy citrus-vetiver signature, but the mineral, flinty depth that defines the original is largely absent, leaving a simpler grapefruit-and-vetiver accord that fades faster.

About

No. 481 is The Essence Vault's interpretation of Hermes' modern classic Terre d'Hermes, a fragrance famous for its mineral, earthy take on citrus woods. It opens with a bittersweet grapefruit and orange accord that gets reasonably close to the original's bright freshness, before a black pepper facet adds a touch of spice. Where it diverges most is the base: Terre d'Hermes is prized for its unusual flinty, mineral vetiver, and this dupe replaces that nuance with a more conventional vetiver-cedarwood combination that reads pleasant but far less distinctive. Performance is moderate, with the citrus opening lasting a couple of hours before settling into a soft woody base. It works well as an everyday office-friendly woody citrus, even if it cannot replicate the original's more unusual, earthy signature.
