Hermès doing what they do best: a quality perfume like those of old, those that make you shake your head the moment you smell them and say ‘look, I may like it more or less, but it’s the definition of what a flanker should be for me’. DNA of the original but with enough changes to justify the launch and its possible acquisition. The truth is I liked it a lot; according to the note breakdown, it doesn’t have the Vetiver and bitter orange base of the EDT original and Parfum, and if that’s the case, it’s more than meritorious to have achieved an aroma so close to it with licorice, coffee, and pepper. The DNA of the line is recognisable but less strident and rounder, slightly sweet in the dry down; perhaps the opening and heart phase is where it differs most due to that licorice and especially the coffee which doesn’t last until the end but is noticeable in the heart phase, it’s pretty and gives the different touch that makes it separate enough from the rest of the flankers. Don’t expect a Sauvage Elixir or anything like that; here we have a Terre d’Hermès tinted with some new notes that give it its own charm. It’s a mature aroma in line with the original, and I see it for any situation implying being minimally dressed up. Its longevity is very good and the projection is moderate, personal bubble type but perceptible at all times. Good work here by Hermès and Christine Nagel who haven’t invented anything new but have given a different twist to a classic and that’s not easy. Recommended.
I liked it; it separates quite a bit from the original, giving prominence to a popular accord today of spices/coffee. In that aspect, it reminds me of the new D&G and makes me wonder if we are in front of a new trend where for two years we’ll have this accord in all launches. Nevertheless, it’s very solid, very well mixed, and occupying a very appropriate spot in the Terre catalogue that was empty. I’m thinking of buying it although it scares me, as I have a clear inclination towards fresh perfumes and I love this type, but I end up getting bored or saturated by them; nevertheless, I don’t feel this one is too fine, it doesn’t scream, and it’s not entirely dense, so it’s likely I’ll fall for it. I hope it works for me because I buy quite a few for cold and nocturnal occasions. Best regards.
I liked it quite a bit and the performance is very good, on top of that I got it at a very good introductory price.
Very much in the line of Memoire D’Homme by Nina Ricci; in fact, it’s the same perfumer. So they’ve slipped an update of the discontinued Nina Ricci through the back door.
The voting on Fragrantica is incomprehensible and ridiculous; people vote on performance with more malice than knowledge, and it’s no longer reliable for those seeking data. To say this Terre d’Hermès Intense doesn’t last at all is absurd and false: yesterday, with just two sprays on the back of my hand at 7 PM, after several washes and showers, the scent was still strong at 11 PM, and the next morning it was present without me even sniffing it. Regarding the aroma… I need to test it more, but in principle, it’s something challenging to be a Terre; no one should expect licorice or coffee gourmand here because it’s not there. It’s like a very realistic ground coffee with a mineral smell, plus the citrus and vetiver from the house. A gem.
I absolutely love it!
The Terre line and its flankers are synonymous with quality and elegance in perfumery. I declare myself a fan of Terre Pure Parfum, deeper and denser but on the same line as the EdT. This flanker is something else, with reminiscences of the mother but with a winter twist. It’s a warmer fragrance, with base notes and coffee, to which I find a 90% similarity with the original Valentino Uomo EdT, not the 2017 reformulation. It opens citrusy, returning to coffee and wood accords. Eternal longevity and excellent projection in the first hours. Elegant as a good Terre, it matches perfectly with formal or casual outfits, both day and night. Perfectly versatile for autumn and winter. Stands out for aroma quality, performance, and versatility in cool climates. Rating 9/10 Performance 🔝♾️ Season 🍂 ❄️
The first thing I smell is coffee, so much so that its opening reminded me of Coffee Addict. This phase lasts a few minutes before licorice takes over, balanced by a vetiver base. Without a doubt, this first phase is the best and it’s a delight to follow its evolution. What remains after a few hours is that metallic base that is increasingly found in more perfumes following the popularity of BR540 and Oud for Greatness, which increases longevity, although this phase is now very linear and not particularly surprising to me. It feels as though Hermès wanted to create their own version of Sauvage Elixir, and as happened with Dior’s, it takes a long distance from the mother fragrance, such that if I didn’t know it was a flanker, I wouldn’t relate it to the original Terre. In short, it’s an interesting proposal, bold in certain points and predictable in others, but well above the average of current launches. My only issue is that I don’t find many occasions to wear it; I prefer the Terre EDT original, which is a Swiss Army knife. Nevertheless, it’s a launch worth pausing over.
That Hermès is synonymous with quality at this stage doesn’t surprise anyone… that Terre d’Hermès is an icon of perfumery, whether you like it or not, cannot be ignored, but frankly this launch has left me a bit cold due to my high expectations, so I offer my mea culpa. The ‘trend’ of ☕ has arrived in several fragrances, including the recent Devotion Pour Homme by Dolce & Gabbana or Halloween Man X which opened the floodgates in the more affordable designer sector, and even Cafe Rose by Tom Ford on the opposite pole. Returning to this Hermès, I like 🤔 uh… not so much. I admit it’s bold, that the ingredient quality is beyond doubt, that it performs quite well without being a beast mode… but that mix of coffee, licorice, and anise accompanying the Terre d’Hermès original EdT gives me a bit of a shiver, it doesn’t quite convince me, and as they say, one man’s meat is another man’s poison. I’ll stick with its EdT or Parfum version.
Smells super weird, I don’t like it at all. I received a decant but it’s not for me; it smells super dark and off.
I wanted to refill my Eau Intense Vetiver bottle and stumbled upon this Terre d’Hermès Intense. They gave me an extra 10% and the sample wasn’t bad, so I snapped it up. I’m giving it the best break-in period possible. At first, it doesn’t smell as ‘Terre’ as advertised; it has a bit of its DNA, but it’s far from the concept—other fragrances by Nagel come closer. I don’t detect the citrus as sharp; instead, there’s a rich, dense roasted coffee, not the fresh brew from a coffee machine, more spices and that mineral note which is the leitmotif of the whole fragrance. I think the sweetness comes from the Lava note, similar to Trussardi’s Primo, and the stone doesn’t remind me of Comme des Garçons’ Concrete, although that one never claimed to have it. Overall, it’s the densest of the Terre series; the name ‘Intense’ is justified. While Intense Vetiver is versatile for spring and autumn, I see this Intense more for autumn-winter, ideal for evening dinners, though it holds up in a fresh spring. It smells sexy, very masculine, well-executed, elegant, and slightly novel within its series. The quality is good and the performance acceptable. It’s a Terre that plays to its own strengths and could have been named differently, but it’s good work from the current Hermès, nothing like the sweet perfumes of my youth. Edit: It lasted all night and I can still smell it this morning, a soft licorice with woods. It’s very evolving, one of the few that make many changes; at first, it smells like the original Terre and the notes come out in relays, showing good craftsmanship. Recommended for testing, it’s not boring.
I liked it a lot on first contact. I can’t assess longevity as it’s been less than half an hour since I started testing it. As it dries down, it moves away from the Terre line. Something different that I see as ideal for the winter and autumn in the Canaries. The liquorice note is intense; for me, a great novelty.
I adore it, it smells so elegant and sweet, mature but not too much. I feel it’s not for everyone, but personally, I loved it.
New flanker of the legendary Terre d’Hermès with a coffee and liquorice twist that opens a totally different path. In my case, two notes I don’t understand and which are too prominent in the dry down to enjoy. The Perfume version of the classic has been my signature for a decade, and while I value that a new version explores other territories, in this case it strays so far from its DNA that if they presented it as a new collection, it would be more appropriate. It won’t come home to me. Test and let it dry before buying.
As a die-hard fan of the Terre line, I felt obliged to try this new creation. While the coffee note wasn’t my thing from the start, and combined with the liquorice, my scepticism increased. I wasn’t wrong. The DNA is there, but the coffee is too prominent for me. That said, undeniable quality; it’s very evolutive and elegant as a whole, like all Terres. I’d say it’s more for cold or intermediate climates. I have a decant; the bottle won’t come with me. For those who like the coffee note, there’s a good product here.
Finally tried it properly. Opens with coffee as the star for the first hour, then gradually gives way to liquorice. Between the second and third hour, the Terre EDT DNA emerges without vetiver: orange peel, earth, coffee and woods. As if the ‘older person’ element had been removed from the EDT, I think it’s an improvement in this flanker. The coffee isn’t gourmand; it’s harsh and fits perfectly with the rest. Terre isn’t kind; it’s adult, harsh and rough. Very good aroma, I’d say the best in the line. Longevity: no more than 5 hours, which is a bit short. Sillage is weak but sustained. Suitable for autumn, winter and spring. If your job allows wearing a shirt, yes for everyday wear. Not for bars, clubs or the gym. Professional and adult profile. Conveys security and an air of being a man of few words. Price: $200 for 100ml is a steal. If it had better longevity and projection, it would be a masterpiece. PS: the stone and lava notes were the sales assistant’s pitch. Saying it smells like Mazinger Z’s pancreas is the same thing. PS after two months: I couldn’t resist and bought it. For autumn/winter afternoons, it’s wonderful. Doesn’t need hyper-formality. Without a doubt, it’s the perfume of the year, even better than the Sauvage Elixir. 10/10.
Using Eau Intense is like returning to a familiar place but with changed lights, furniture and soundtrack. And yet, everything still smells like you… but better. It’s not here to seduce you, but to teach you composure. To remind you that a perfume doesn’t have to beg for compliments if it’s built with structure, precision and bite. First impression was treacherous: right behind the citrus smile was him: the liquorice. Bitter, dark, slightly medicinal. Not the cheap candy kind, but the kind smoked in a fine tea salon. Then, the twist: after 30 minutes, the composition settles. The vetiver takes centre stage, dry, elegant, with the texture of earth freshly broken by the sun. And the coffee… it smells of intention, of lucid wakefulness. As if someone were awake by choice. It’s a philosophical coffee, almost Bergmanian. The whole perfume becomes a discourse on maturity.
Unfortunately, I found it unremarkable. Perhaps due to the hype, I went in with sky-high expectations and wasn’t surprised. It’s a rich fragrance, but I didn’t find any major novelties. Will have to try it again. You can tell the coffee is evolving and the quality is top-notch. Still, it hasn’t captivated me. I think its audience is mature people; it doesn’t convey joviality. Not negative, it’s nice to have something different. Anyway… satisfactory but I expected more. Blind buy? Definitely for fans. If you’re not a fan of the line, not on your life.
Pff… speechless, second test at the perfumerie. As a fan of the Terre saga, the first impression was one of strangeness; I didn’t notice any resemblance to its siblings, but on this second test I appreciated the nuances better (it’s very evolutive). It comes out powerful with liquorice present throughout. At first glance, it shocks because it’s different, but little by little it calms down and the coffee emerges with the woody notes, my favourite part. There, the Terre aroma appears slightly; you can perceive it’s a flanker. To me, it seems brilliant, one of the best I’ve smelled in years. Super pleasant, with presence and elegance, without becoming too mature or serious. Suitable for temperate and fresh climates. Performance: pleasantly surprised; Hermès perform brilliantly, over 10 hours on skin without being overwhelming. Nothing to object to. I recommend trying it, especially on skin to see the nuances, but it seems a treat and I already have a bottle on its way. Along with Eau Givrée, it has become my favourite in the line.
Thank you Christine for continuing this historic work and creating such wonders; both this and Eau Givrée are true monuments to commercial perfumery (and even some high-end niche lines). This is not the caramel coffee scent of Dolce & Gabbana Devotion; it is the aroma of a coffee roastery like those in Modena, filling the street with an intense coffee fragrance. It has a strong licorice note and an incredible longevity. I wore it to the office at the end of winter-early spring and it was delightful; the scent keeps coming back and makes you feel amazing. Once dry, it reveals its classic Terre d’Hermès side and lingers to remind you how delicious it is. Amidst so many similar and boring perfumes, this is a gem; now I wish the cold would return so I can wear it again. Thank you Christine, once more.
Review of Terre d’Hermès Eau de Parfum Intense. I walked into the perfumery to ask about this scent, and I must say that when the assistant handed it to me to try, I was immediately hit by an extremely strong coffee note. A few minutes later, I remarked that it was like walking into Cioccolata or a café serving bitter chocolate pastries—essentially a double-shot mocha with barely any milk for me, sir. I told myself I’d buy it on Monday; it was Friday when I left, but after about ten minutes, I started detecting a hint of wet hose and fresh green grass (licorice) with a trace of pumice. I decided to return, whether I’m a wealthy country gentleman or not, and I bought it anyway. I need to confirm if pumice actually has a smell, but I know it’s sold in my country and, due to its sulphates, is used to wash feet; it must be the metallic, volcanic scent they advertise. Tomorrow I’ll go to the agricultural terminal to ask the Bolivian and Peruvian vendors who sell it whether it truly smells—I distinctly remember sensing it, though I still need to verify. The other notes are probably there, but I hadn’t fully processed them at the time. Listen, this is good, my goodness, and I’m a follower of this line anyway. It will surely improve considerably as I wear it more. The lineup: Eau de Parfum Intense, the original, and Intense Vétiver. I would not buy: Eau Givré.
Unique fragrance, unrivalled even within the Terre d’Hermès line. Hard to categorise, yet addictive. More of an olfactory experience than a daily scent. I recommend testing before buying. Opening: pepper, coffee and liquorice, a gourmand and spicy touch. Dry down: that peculiar blend with a mineral, salty aroma, like lava. It’s for those who wear perfume for themselves.
What a delight, such a lovely scent. I was absolutely enamoured the moment I tried it. It reminded me so much of Narciso Rodríguez Bleu Noir EDT just by smelling it, which is why I loved it so much, as I adore that one; when I finish it, I’ll surely grab this. The coffee note makes it delicious and super creamy. As for projection, I’d say it doesn’t project much; it’s quite intimate, and given the price, that puts me off a little, especially considering its older brother, Terre d’Hermès EDT, projects a lot and is thoroughly enjoyable. It also reminded me a bit of Devotion pour Homme by Dolce & Gabbana, though this Hermès one is infinitely better. The major drawback is the longevity and sillage; for an autumn fragrance, it fades very quickly, and even with ten sprays, it disappears into the air and doesn’t stay with you all day. I think, no matter how well it smells and how wonderful it is, that’s a significant enough flaw to overlook it.
Terre d’Hermès Eau de Parfum Intense is a woody, spicy and mineral fragrance. Its opening reveals part of the Terre line’s DNA, featuring a mineral aroma reminiscent of wet clay paired with a coffee note; the combination is rare, but I like it (at least in my opinion), though there may be a citrus element, it’s not as clear as in the EDT version. After nearly 10 minutes, the licorice note begins to emerge, adding a touch of sweetness and emphasising the woody accords, which gives it a slightly more evening-appropriate character, something I believe the EDT and Parfum versions lack, although this is my perception. Once it reaches its dry-down phase, the scent remains largely consistent until the end of its evolution. It could be worn both day and night: during the day in spring, autumn and winter, and by night in any season. Like almost the entire Terre line, it is elegant, suitable for the office or special occasions, and could serve as a signature fragrance for those who enjoy its scent. Its longevity on me has been excellent, exceeding 10 hours, with a good trail for the first two hours; afterwards it recedes slightly but doesn’t fade to skin-level. Personally, I’ve really enjoyed the scent, as it hasn’t lost the essence of the Terre line’s DNA. With this new version, it also adds evening-wearing characteristics that the other fragrances in the line lacked. For me, it’s a well-judged launch, but I still invite you to try it and form your own opinion.
My first Terre. On the first try, I must admit it didn’t quite take my fancy. The next day, I gave it another chance and began to appreciate its notes more clearly, enjoying its evolution. A third test during a night out, where I finally fell for its charm. A fragrance that stands out from the crowd, elegant and manly. Discreet projection and satisfactory longevity.
8/10.
It is a continuationist fragrance, but not of the original EDT, rather of the Eau Givré. The Eau Givré starts with grapefruit, peel, and metallic accents; here it is bergamot with peel and those same metallic accents. That phase lasts about an hour, after which an aquatic note and sensations of warm, wet iris gradually take over, which must be the combination of ‘licorice and lava’, as the fragrance becomes more personal. The longevity was around 7 hours, with normal-to-low performance. The positive is that they continue to modernise the Terre DNA, moving away from the original but maintaining the naturalness of its oils and its masculinity. The negative is that the power leaves you wanting after the first hour. Anyway, it is very likely I will purchase it.
Follows the line of its Terre d’Hermes sisters, but with a difference that makes it excellent: licorice and bergamot are very prominent throughout the fragrance’s life. Pepper and coffee give it that distinguishing base, but above all, that stone and ‘lava’ make it a very good fragrance to wear. Without a doubt, it has become my favourite in the Terre d’Hermes line.
The opening smells freshly chopped parsley and coriander… a resounding NO.
To be honest, the opening doesn’t appeal to everyone, but it certainly doesn’t deserve its low rating. For me, it’s spectacular. I’ve never been interested in Terre d’Hermès, either aesthetically or olfactorily, but this new flanker aims to modernise the line, perhaps targeting a younger audience without losing its classic profile. After that strange opening, it becomes addictive, masculine, with coffee at the forefront and a slightly dusty note that gives way to a mineral sensation, like wet stone. It’s younger than its siblings, yet ideal for projecting seriousness, formality, and mystery against the tide of vanilla and tonka. I’d say it’s for someone aged thirty and above. It’s versatile, suitable for day and night, though not for intense heat or very casual occasions: it demands a shirt. Longevity and projection are decent, average performance. It arrived in Argentina a couple of months ago at a very high price (almost $200 for 100ml), but it’s now available on promotion at reasonable prices, so at that price point, I’d recommend it.
Exquisite. It has the classic Hermès qualities but darker. It is pure elegance, a little difficult for those who prefer sweeter perfumes or teenage scents like Stronger or JPG. This is for more mature tastes. MARVELOUS.
What a wonderful fragrance. It has a powerful opening. It reminds me of Terre d’Hermès Eau Intense Vetiver but with coffee as the star. It smells elegant and projects well. Up close, it seems wild, very mineral and herbal. It feels of very high quality, as this house is accustomed to. It has niche vibes but remains commercial. This is what Devotion by D&G tried to achieve but failed at being a boring perfume pretending to be niche. It can be mature but not vintage. It conveys seriousness, elegance, and good taste. It’s not for partying or being jovial. A young person can wear it if they wish to project maturity and professionalism. It brings me memories of burning dried orange peel with sugar, licorice, and freshly brewed coffee. On very hot days, it can be overwhelming.
Yes, it smells of coffee, licorice, and then the original Terre. I suppose ‘Intense’ is a trend in perfumery to describe something undefined, because the original seems more intense to me, without this implying it is weak. It smells very good and is addictive (though if I get too close, it makes me want to sneeze) and reminds me of nothing (1000 points). It’s for late afternoon or night, for calm moments of enjoyment. The dry-down on skin is phenomenal; it has a somewhat retro air, but the slightly sweet coffee makes it more modern without going overboard. Warning: DO NOT use in party venues or if you plan to sweat, because certain notes mixed with sweat make you smell three times more sweaty. Is it the ‘lava’? The ‘stone’? Is that the ‘Intense’? Smelling like a tiger but with class. In short, if I wear it calmly, I love it, and it’s better when cool. It’s not for everyone and is challenging, especially in the opening which smells of spices but passes quickly while you dress. My girlfriend hates it, so I wear it to be left alone. It has its uses.
It’s a rich fragrance with many pros. It can be invasive and not suitable for enclosed spaces; the coffee and licorice notes are noticeable for a while, giving it a distinguished, powerful, and imposing character. However, compared to the rest of the Terre line, I feel it’s different in many aspects and is one of the least I’ve enjoyed. I love the family and feel it deviates slightly from what it should be; it’s not bad, just different.
Since the original Terre d’Hermès launched, I saw this Intense version this year. I thought, being an EDP, it would be the same but stronger, but upon wearing it, I thought, ‘I’ve been ripped off.’ I looked up reviews and discovered it’s from the same family but distinct. At first, I hated it, but then I felt it on my skin and noticed its character and longevity. It has a trail, fresh citrus notes, and musk that combine perfectly with the relentless pepper that gives it that spicy quality. I’ve already bought another bottle and received a replica with an atomiser as a gift.
I bought it for the opening: bold, distinctive, even slightly sharp. To me, it smells like smoke from chimneys in large buildings, not wood, with plenty of pepper and licorice. I can’t detect the coffee, nor the instant coffee others mention. Once dried down, the citrus notes become clear, revealing the original DNA and that mineral quality which smells like lava, just as I imagined. Performance is decent (6-7 hours) with a good trail for the first three hours. At 19, I wouldn’t recommend this to people my age; it suits those aged 30 to 50. If you want to smell different, bold yet elegant, and enjoy earthy, sharp, and mineral scents, it’s yours.
After using it for over a month, my verdict is that it’s overpriced for what it offers. You’re paying for the brand, but the longevity doesn’t do justice to the hype. The ‘Intense’ seems like marketing; licorice dominates, and the coffee note is barely noticeable at first. It lasts about six hours on skin with a discreet trail. It’s a unique aroma, but I expected Hermès to break away from other designers regarding longevity. Try a decant first. Hopefully, they improve this version.
To me, it smells like rich licorice with coffee and a hint of citrus, but licorice takes the lead, almost overwhelmingly. It smells distinguished, not for a nightclub or young people. It’s better for wearing close to oneself rather than projecting into a room where people turn to look; it’s not overpowering or leaves a heavy trail. I see it as a winter and evening fragrance.
This is a top-tier fragrance, but beware: licorice makes up 90% of the scent and defines the whole experience. It projects strongly, clings to clothes, and lasts a very long time. Because it doesn’t blend well with other notes, don’t buy it blindly if you don’t love that licorice note. It feels genuinely high-quality, not synthetic or alcohol-heavy. It suits a well-dressed gentleman, not for parties or the beach.
It has a touch that reminds me of the Zara Absolutely Dark Intense.
