I've been layering Terre d'Hermes with fcuk's polished sugar scrub. The talc/rose/musks in the oils left behind by the scrub (it is a delicious scrub btw) give the woodsy flintiness of Terre Hermes a more feminine feel. I just bought Terre d'Hermes after being indecisive about getting it for ages as I've never worn a "men's" fragrance before, perhaps also why I'm mixing it up as I may be a bit wimpy about smelling masculine.... What sold me on Terre d'Hermes was when I's spritzed some on myself in a pharmacy and my ancient old great- aunt told me I smelt more like "me" than ever. SOLD! Anyone else have any good ideas on what to layer Terre d'Hermes with? I really like the idea of layering. I’ve been layering Terre d’Hermes with fcuk’s polished sugar scrub.

Who knows. I don't get to wear for pleasure nearly as much as I used to — but maybe that makes me appreciate it more when I do? Who knows.

Just thought you might wanna try it. =D Oh, and about equal parts is what I think is best. What's wenge? Not that they really need layering, but Dzongkha and Vetiver Tonka are really lovely together.

Will go and visit that webpage. Borneo 1834 and Bois de Violette have my noses' first attention...:) Robin and Bela, I have smelled quite a lot of fragrances from mainstream to luxurious and wondered if anything could still surprise me...well yeah... it now feels as if I am just beginning. Isn't that wonderful :D.. Thank you so much Bela. Will go and visit that webpage.

You are now on their mailing list and they'll probably send you a little wax sample of any new Exclusive scent that is released in the future. Since you seem to want to know more about the line, I'm going to point you to my SL web page: http://sergelutens.blogspot.com. It's a simple précis of information. :-) Isn't it a lovely thing?
