Jean-Claude Ellena launched Terre d'Hermès Flacon H 2016 Parfum in 2016, a composition that marries the crisp freshness of citrus with the earthy warmth of woody notes. The fragrance opens with bright orange and grapefruit before transitioning into flint and oakmoss, creating an intriguing contrast between mineral sharpness and mossy depth. Benzoin adds a touch of sweetness to this otherwise rugged profile, while woods and amber round out the base, grounding the scent in earthy comfort.

Application Tips
This parfum concentration means it's best applied lightly — one or two sprays will be enough to capture its complex layers. It blooms slowly over time, so let it settle into your skin before heading out.
Jean-Claude Ellena
Founding perfumer · 104 fragrances · French
As a disciple and close friend of the legendary Edmond Roudnitska (creator of “Le Parfum de Thérèse”), Jean-Claude Ellena began his career with a minimalistic approach to perfumery. Since then, he has developed this approach into his own distinctive style, which is continually informed by his elegant and quiet way of being, and has been compared by his contemporaries to watercolor sketches and chamber music. Jean-Claude says that a perfume must be like “a soft caress; nothing must shock, nothing must shout”.Jean-Claude Ellena was born in Grasse into a family of perfumers. His training began at age 17, in the most prestigious laboratories – in Grasse, Paris, New York and Geneva – where he always saw himself as self-taught. Roudnitska’s minimalism never left him, however, and his compositions remain focused around a single ingredient, avoiding repetition.

The story behind the bottle.
The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, in a quiet café where the scent of warm woods and fresh spices fills the air.
