Launched by Hermès in 2018, Terre d'Hermès Flacon H 2018 is a Woody Spicy fragrance crafted by Jean-Claude Ellena. This composition opens with the bright freshness of orange and grapefruit, which gives way to an aromatic heart of pelargonium and pepper, creating a dynamic tension between citrus brightness and spicy warmth. The base notes of vetiver, patchouli, cedar, and benzoin ground this scent in earthy richness, making it both modern and lasting.

Application Tips
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The citrus top notes are vivid but short-lived, so wait a few minutes before layering with another scent if desired. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin for its full impact.
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 crispness of a city park at dawn, where the cool air mixes with the warmth of freshly cut grass and distant woodsmoke.
