Launched in 2025, Terre d’Hermès Intense by Hermès is crafted by Christine Nagel and stands as a proof of the brand’s commitment to elegance and sophistication. The composition opens with a bright burst of bergamot and black pepper, creating an immediate sense of energy and freshness. This contrasts beautifully with deeper notes of coffee, licorice, and woody undertones that evoke a rich and warm earthiness.

Application Tips
This fragrance has a strong presence from the start, so one or two sprays are sufficient. The coffee note is particularly prominent initially but gradually fades into the deeper woody base notes over time, making it ideal for daytime wear.
