I'm really impressed with this one, it is probably a more mature man's fragrance but not exclusively. It is like opening the door on a warm day to a small but amazing spice and flower market stocked to the rafters. I don't have an expert nose but definitely can smell the spices, floral and wood notes. It immediately has my mind racing to a spice and flower market somewhere in the Middle East or North Africa even though I haven't been there. It is beautifully blended and is warming and comforting on an Autumn or Winter's day. I only have a sample at present but post COVID when I get to London a visit to Penhaligon's is on the cards. I think this is something special. To be able to create an amazing fragrance like this blending so many ingredients needs not just a master's nose but an artists creativity too. I can't travel with COVID regulations but this one has brought the world to me.

This is beautifully blended, Christmas scents of clove, nutmeg and pepper, with some added floral notes. It is a beautiful Winter warm, velvet, beautifully balanced fragrance although maybe for the more mature gentleman. It is subtle and sophisticated. I think this is a very underrated scent.

I love Terre d'Hermes parfum. It is a beautifully mellow but strong citrus, pepper, woody creation. Deep and authentic it is for a confident mature man with good taste. It induces an almost dream like state with me it is so beautiful. I fell in love with the EDT years ago the first time I met it. Both work well for me, mon amour

I like this a lot, deep citrus, earthy, wood, powerful. It completely reminds me of Terre de Hermes in particular the parfum. It probably has more performance than Terre de Hermes though but it is younger. TdH is more sophisticated and for a more mature man. They are both great though. So good I had to buy a bottle.
