The Story
Terre d'Hermès Eau Très Fraîche is a vibrant and invigorating interpretation of the iconic Terre d'Hermès. Jean-Claude Ellena crafted this flanker to capture the freshness of a citrus grove after a rainstorm. The opening is a burst of bitter orange and grapefruit, which gives way to a heart of geranium and a base of cedar and vetiver. It's a perfect summer scent that retains the earthy soul of the original while adding a sparkling, aquatic twist.
