Launched in 2020, Terre d'Hermes Flacon H 2020 Eau de Toilette by Hermès is a Woody Spicy fragrance for men crafted by master perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena. It opens with bright citrus notes from grapefruit and orange, which blend seamlessly into the aromatic heart of pelargonium and pepper, creating a dynamic tension that keeps the composition interesting. The base notes of vetiver, benzoin, patchouli, and cedar provide warmth and depth, grounding the fragrance in earthy richness.

Application Tips
Two sprays are enough to capture its essence. The citrus opening is bright but fades within an hour, making it best for daytime wear when the woody base can develop fully on skin without overpowering.
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.
