One sensation dominates immediately in Terre D'Hermes Intense Cologne, bergamot and black pepper opening sharp and warmly spiced. Coffee and licorice settle the heart into something bitter and darkly sweet. Woody notes, lava and stone close the foundation dry, mineral and richly earthy. Lava and stone as named base materials are a distinctly literal, geological choice, true to the Terre, or earth, concept the whole line is built around. Terre D'Hermes Intense Cologne is a citrus spicy Eau de Parfum from Hermes, suited to everyday wear and the office. Hermes pushed the earthbound concept furthest in this Intense edition.
