Terre d'Hermès Eau Givrée

Hermès · 2022

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Hermès Terre d'Hermès Eau Givrée is a fresh, citrusy men's fragrance that suits spring and summer days. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and business come up most often. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as masculine, with some calling it modern. As a whole it smells fresh and green: citron and juniper berry give a citrusy, lightly fruity brightness, while Nepalese sichuan pepper adds a spicy edge. A woody, earthy base stays in the background. Its juniper-and-citrus profile sits close to Goutal Eau d'Hadrien and Pacifica Avalon Juniper.
