I never thought about it, but it does look very Kenzo.

Can I just chime in and say that the ad above is gorgeous? It reminds me of one of the Kenzos – close shot of a face superimposed over a wide-angle shot of the same subject – and recalls the old Fahrenheit commercials with the guy wandering around a desert, sort of lost in his own inner, contemplative world. (Come to think of it, Fahrenheit has a warm rocks/baked earth quality as well. Perhaps Terre is its 21st-century equivalent?)

My husband just got a 100ml bottle as a gift and I automatically took it… Reading your review Robin, I can tell you that this is a fragrance I would wear even if it is being marketed as a men’s perfume. But then, there was a time back in the early 90′s when I wasn’t too scared to wear Fahrenheit… So I think I am open to teh idea of wearing men’ perfumes.
I am 43 years old and find many floral scents ‘too girly’ for me now especially this new “gourmand trend” which I find nauseating (sorry if I am offending anyone. I find myself looking for “more edge” perhaps or a more unique statement… At some point, I raved about Givenchy’s Eau Torride but sadly can’t find it anymore and may have possibly outgrown it. Robin, would you or any of your readers have suggestions for me?

I just got this and am really enjoying it. it smells pretty dark and truffly on me and a bit mossy too.

I adore it! But then I don’t really want the whole room to smell what I’m wearing.

I think they’ve made a pure parfum version of it, or eau de parfum or something. I’d like it better if was stronger.

I mean I like my perfume to be strong so the whole room can smell it anyway. but this is an expensive mens fragrance, and I wouldn’t pay for just me to smell it, because its undetectable unless you put your nose to your arm (I forgot I had it on until I smelled my arm).

I gave this a try in Debenhams today.

it’s not all that fantastic like everyone makes it sound. I think eveyone goes crazy over this is because it’s Hermes :/

it’s a nice soft airy woody smell. lasts a long time, but not very strong at all. I wouldn’t buy it. it’s just a way better version than “everything else”.
