Very much in the line of Memoire D’Homme by Nina Ricci, in fact it’s by the same perfumer. So they’ve slipped an update of the discontinued Nina Ricci scent in through the back door.
The Terre line and its flankers are synonymous with quality and elegance in perfumery. I’m a huge fan of Terre Pure Parfum, which is deeper and denser but stays within the same family as the EdT. This flanker is something else entirely—evoking the original with a distinct winter twist. It’s a warmer scent featuring base notes of coffee and woods, sharing about 90% similarity with the original Valentino Uomo EdT (not the 2017 reformulation). It opens citrusy before settling into coffee and wood accords. The longevity is eternal, and the projection is excellent in the first few hours. As elegant as any Terre, it pairs perfectly with both formal and casual outfits, day or night. Ideally versatile for autumn and winter. It stands out for its aroma quality, performance, and versatility in cool climates. Rating: 9/10. Performance: Top tier. Season: Fall/Winter.
I really liked it at first sniff. I can’t judge longevity yet since I’ve only been wearing it for half an hour. As it dries down, it moves away from the Terre line. Something different that I see as ideal for winter and autumn in the Canary Islands. The licorice note is intense; for me, a great novelty.
At this point, it’s no surprise that Hermès is synonymous with quality… Terre d’Hermès being an icon of perfumery, whether you love it or not, can’t be ignored. But honestly, this launch left me a bit cold given my high expectations, so I’ll admit my mistake. The ‘coffee trend’ has hit several fragrances, including Dolce & Gabbana’s recent Devotion Pour Homme, Halloween Man X which opened the door for more affordable designer scents, and even Café Rose from Tom Ford on the opposite end of the spectrum. Back to this Hermès: I like it… well, not really. I admit it’s bold, the ingredient quality is unquestionable, and it performs well without being a beast mode… but that mix of coffee, licorice, and anise accompanying the original Terre d’Hermès EdT feels a bit off to me. It just doesn’t convince me, and tastes are subjective. I’ll stick with the EdT or Parfum versions.
I liked it quite a bit, and the performance is excellent, plus I got it at a great introductory price.
The first thing I smell is coffee, so much that my opening reminded me of Coffee Addict. This phase lasts a few minutes, then licorice takes over, balanced by a vetiver base. Without a doubt, this first phase is the best, and it’s a delight to watch its evolution. What remains after a few hours is that metallic base that’s showing up in more and more perfumes since the popularity of BR540 and Oud for Greatness, and which boosts longevity, although this phase is now quite linear and not very surprising to me. It feels like Hermès tried to make their own version of Sauvage Elixir, and like Dior’s, it takes a huge distance from the original fragrance, so much so that if I didn’t know it was a flanker, I wouldn’t link it to the original Terre. In short, it’s an interesting proposal, bold in some points and predictable in others, but well above the average of current launches. My only issue is that I don’t find many occasions to wear it; I prefer the Terre EDT original, which is a Swiss Army knife. Nevertheless, it’s a launch worth pausing on.
Hermès doing what they do best: a quality fragrance like the classics, one that makes you nod and say, ‘I might like it more or less, but it’s the definition of what a flanker should be.’ It carries the DNA of the original but includes enough changes to justify its launch and potential acquisition. I really liked it. According to the note breakdown, it lacks the vetiver and bitter orange base of the EDT and Parfum originals, and if that’s true, it’s more than commendable to achieve such a close aroma using licorice, coffee, and pepper. The line’s DNA is recognizable but less strident, rounder, and slightly sweeter in the dry-down; perhaps the opening and heart differ the most due to that licorice and, above all, the coffee, which doesn’t last until the end but is noticeable in the heart phase. It’s beautiful and gives it the distinctive touch that sets it apart from other flankers. Don’t expect a Sauvage Elixir here; instead, we have a Terre d’Hermès accented with new notes that give it its own charm. It’s a mature scent consistent with the original, and I see it for any situation where you’re minimally dressed up. Its longevity is very good, and the projection is moderate—personal bubble range but noticeable at all times. A great job by Hermès and Christine Nagel; they didn’t invent anything new but gave a fresh twist to a classic, which isn’t easy. Recommended.
I liked it. It diverges significantly from the original, highlighting a popular modern spice/coffee accord. In that regard, it reminds me of the new D&G scent and makes me wonder if we’re entering a trend where this accord will dominate launches for the next two years. Still, it’s very solid, well-blended, and fills a spot in Terre’s catalog that was previously empty. I’m thinking about buying it, though I’m a bit scared; I have a clear preference for fresh fragrances, and while I love this type, they tend to bore or overwhelm me eventually. However, this one doesn’t feel too heavy, doesn’t scream for attention, and isn’t overly dense, so I think I’ll get along with it. Hopefully it works out, as I tend to buy a lot of cold-weather and evening scents. Cheers.
As a die-hard fan of the Terre line, I felt obligated to try this new creation. While I already knew the coffee note wasn’t for me, combined with the licorice, my skepticism grew. I wasn’t wrong. The DNA is there, but the coffee is too prominent for me. That said, undeniable quality, it’s very evolving and elegant overall, like all Terres. I’d say it’s more suited for cold or intermediate climates. I have a decant; the bottle isn’t coming with me. For those who like coffee notes, here’s a great product.
I love it!
I wanted to refill my Eau Intense Vetiver bottle and stumbled upon this Terre d’Hermès Intense. They gave me an extra 10%, and the test run was solid, so I grabbed it. I’m giving it the best possible break-in period. At first, it doesn’t smell as ‘Terre’ as advertised; it has some of its DNA, but it’s far from the concept—other Nagel frags come closer. I don’t detect sharp citrus; instead, there’s a rich, dense roasted coffee, not the fresh-brewed diner kind, plus spices and that mineral note which is the leitmotif of the whole fragrance. I think the sweetness comes from the Lava note, similar to Trussardi Primo, and the stone doesn’t remind me of Comme des Garçons Concrete, even though that one never claimed to have it. Overall, it’s the densest in the Terre series; the name ‘Intense’ is spot on. While Intense Vetiver is versatile for spring and fall, I see this Intense more as an autumn-winter scent, perfect for night dinners, though it holds up in a cool spring. It smells sexy, very masculine, well-executed, elegant, and somewhat novel within its series. The quality is good and performance is acceptable. It’s a Terre that plays to its own strengths and could have been named differently, but it’s solid work from Hermès today, nothing like the sweet perfumes of my youth. Edit: It lasted all night and I can still smell it this morning, a soft licorice with woods. It’s very evolving, one of the few that makes many changes; at first, it smells like the original Terre and the notes come out in relays, showing good craftsmanship. Recommended to try, it’s not boring.
The voting on Fragrantica is incomprehensible and ridiculous; people vote on performance with more malice than knowledge, and it’s no longer reliable for those seeking data. Saying this Terre d’Hermès Intense doesn’t last at all is absurd and false: yesterday, with just two sprays on the back of my hand at 7 PM, after several washes and showers, the scent was still strong at 11 PM, and it was present the next morning without me even sniffing it. Regarding the aroma… I need to test it more, but initially, it’s challenging to call it a Terre; don’t expect licorice or coffee gourmand here. It’s more like a very realistic ground coffee with a mineral scent, plus the citrus and vetiver from the house. A gem.
New flanker of the legendary Terre d’Hermès with a twist of coffee and licorice that opens up a completely different path. In my case, two notes I don’t connect with, which are too prominent in the dry-down to enjoy. The Perfume version of the classic has been my signature for a decade, and while I appreciate that a new version explores other territories, in this case, it strays so far from its DNA that if they presented it as a new collection, it would be more appropriate. It’s not coming home. Try it and let it dry before buying.
It smells super weird, I don’t like it at all. I received a decant but it’s not for me; it smells super dark and off.
I absolutely love it. It smells so elegant and sweet, mature but not overly so. I feel it’s not for everyone, but personally, I adored it.
Using Eau Intense is like returning to a familiar place but with changed lights, furniture, and soundtrack. And yet, everything still smells like you… but better. It’s not here to seduce you; it’s to teach you composure. To remind you that a perfume doesn’t have to beg for compliments if it’s built with structure, precision, and grit. First impression is deceptive: right behind the citrus smile, there he was: licorice. Bitter, dark, slightly medicinal. Not the cheap candy kind, but the kind smoked by a gentleman in a fine tea room. Then, the twist: after 30 minutes, the composition settles. Vetiver takes the lead, dry, elegant, with the texture of earth freshly broken by the sun. And the coffee… it smells of intent, of lucid vigilance. As if someone were awake by choice. It’s a philosophical coffee, almost Bergman-esque. The whole perfume becomes a discourse on maturity.
Unfortunately, it turned out to be unremarkable for me. Maybe due to the hype, I went in with sky-high expectations and wasn’t surprised. It’s a rich fragrance, but I didn’t find any major novelties. Will have to try it again. You can tell the coffee is evolving and the quality is top-notch. Still, it hasn’t captivated me. I think its audience is mature people; it doesn’t convey joviality. Not negative, it’s nice to have something different. Anyway… it’s fulfilling but I expected more. Blind buy? Definitely for fans. If you’re not a fan of the line, not even joking.
Review of Terre d’Hermès Eau de Parfum Intense. I walk into the perfumery and ask for this fragrance and have to point out that when the lady handed it to me for a test, I felt the coffee hit me extremely strong; then a few minutes later I said it was like going to Cioccolata or some bakery with bitter chocolate pastries, that typical mocha with double the coffee… and less milk for me, sir. I said I’d buy it on Monday, it’s Friday, and I left, but after about ten minutes I started to feel a smell of hose and green grass (licorice) and a hint of pumice stone. I decided to return, whether a rich country boy or a poor one, I bought it anyway. I have to confirm if pumice stone smells, but I know it’s sold in my country and its sulfates are used to wash feet; it must be the metallic and volcanic smell they promote; I’ll go to the agricultural terminal tomorrow to confirm with the Bolivian and Peruvian sellers if it really smells, I remember I did sense a smell but I need to confirm. The other aromas probably are there, but I wasn’t reasoning them at that moment. Hey, this is good, my god, and it happens that I’m a follower of this line. It will surely improve a lot as I use it more. The steps: Eau de Parfum Intense, the original, and Intense Vétiver. Would not buy: Eau Givrée.
Pff… words fail me, second test at a perfumery. As a Terre saga fan, the first impression was strangeness; I didn’t notice any resemblance to its siblings, but in this second test, I appreciated the nuances better (it’s very evolving). It comes out strong with licorice present throughout. At first glance, it shocks because it’s different, but little by little it calms down and the coffee with woody notes emerges, my favorite part. There, the Terre aroma appears slightly; you can sense it’s a flanker. To me, it seems great, one of the best I’ve smelled in years. Super pleasant, with presence and elegance, without becoming too mature or serious. For temperate and fresh climates. Performance: pleasantly surprised; Hermès perform amazingly, over 10 hours on skin without being overwhelming. Nothing to object to. Recommend trying it, especially on skin to see the nuances, but it seems like a treat and I already have a bottle on the way. Along with Eau Givrée, it has become my favorite in the line.
Finally tested it properly. Opens with coffee as the star for the first hour, then gradually gives way to licorice. Between the second and third hour, the Terre EDT DNA appears without vetiver: orange peel, earth, coffee, and woods. It’s like the EDT had the ‘older person’ part removed; I think this flanker is an improvement. The coffee isn’t gourmand; it’s rough and fits perfectly with the rest. Terre isn’t friendly; it’s adult, rough, and rugged. Very good aroma, I’d say the best in the line. Longevity: not more than 5 hours, which is a bit low. Sillage is weak but persistent. Great for fall, winter, and spring. If your job allows wearing a shirt, yes for daily wear. Not for bars, clubs, or the gym. Professional and mature profile. Conveys security and a ‘keep away’ vibe. Price: $200 for 100ml is a steal. If it had better longevity and projection, it would be a masterpiece. P.S.: The stone and lava notes were the sales associate’s pitch. Saying it smells like Mazinger Z’s pancreas is the same thing. P.S. after two months: I couldn’t resist and bought it. For late afternoons in fall/winter, it’s wonderful. Doesn’t need hyper-formality. No doubt, it’s the perfume of the year, even better than Sauvage Elixir. 10/10.
Thanks Christine for continuing a historic job and creating these wonders; both this one and Eau Givrée are two monuments of commercial perfumery (and some very trendy niche commercial ones). This isn’t the caramel-coffee of Dolce & Gabbana Devotion; this is the smell of a coffee roastery like those in Modena that fill the street with the scent of intense coffee. It’s strong licorice and has wonderful longevity. I’ve worn it to the office this late winter-spring, and it was a pleasure; the smell comes back every now and then, and you feel incredible. When it dries, it reveals its classic Terre d’Hermès side and stays to remind you how delicious it is. Amidst so many equal and boring perfumes, this is a gem; now I want the cold to return so I can feel it again. Thanks Christine, again.
Unique fragrance, nothing compares to it, not even within the Terre d’Hermès line. Hard to categorize but incredibly addictive. More of an olfactory experience than a daily wear. Recommend trying before buying. On the skin: pepper, coffee, and licorice, with a gourmand and spicy touch. As it dries down, that peculiar blend emerges with a mineral, salty scent, like lava. It’s for those who wear perfume for themselves.
My first Terre. On the first try, I must say it didn’t please me. The next day I gave it another chance and started to discover its notes and enjoy its evolution more clearly. Third try on a night out, where I fell for its charm. A fragrance distinct from the crowd, elegant and masculine. With discrete projection and satisfactory longevity.
What a delight, what a good smell. I loved it the moment I smelled it. It reminded me a lot of Narciso Rodríguez Bleu Noir EDT, and that’s why I liked it so much, since I love that Narciso one; when I finish it, I’ll surely go for this. The coffee note makes it delicious and super creamy. As for projection, I’d say it doesn’t project much, it’s quite intimate, and given the price, that’s a bit of a turn-off, since its older brother, Terre d’Hermès EDT, projects a ton and is a blast to wear. It also reminded me a bit of Devotion pour Homme by Dolce & Gabbana, but this Hermès one is infinitely better. The big drawback is longevity and sillage; for an autumn fragrance, it fades very quickly, and even with ten sprays, it disappears into the air and doesn’t accompany you all the time. I think, no matter how good it smells and how wonderful it is, that’s a huge drawback to overlook.
Terre d’Hermès Eau de Parfum Intense is a woody, spicy, and mineral fragrance. In its opening, it shows part of the Terre line DNA, a mineral scent like wet clay paired with a coffee note; the combination is rare, but I like it (at least I do), maybe there’s a citrus note but it’s not as clear as in the EDT version. After almost 10 minutes, the licorice note starts to emerge, adding a touch of sweetness and accentuating the wood chords, which gives it a bit more evening wearability, something I think the EDT and Parfum versions don’t have, although this is my perception. Once the fragrance reaches its dry-down, it doesn’t change much until the end of its development. It could be worn day or night: during the day in spring, autumn, and winter, and at night in any season. Like almost the entire Terre line, it’s elegant, suitable for the office or special occasions, and can be a signature fragrance for those who enjoy its scent. Its longevity on me has been very good, over 10 hours, with good sillage for the first 2 hours; afterwards it pulls back a bit, but it doesn’t disappear onto the skin. Personally, I’ve really liked the scent, as it hasn’t lost the essence of the Terre line DNA. With this new version, it also adds evening wear characteristics that the other fragrances in the line didn’t have. For me, it’s a successful launch, but I still invite you to try it and form your own opinion.
It’s a follow-up fragrance, but not to the original EDT, rather to the Eau Givrée. The Eau Givrée starts with grapefruit, peel, and metallic accents; here it’s bergamot with peel and those same metallic accents. That phase lasts about an hour, after which a watery note and sensations of warm, wet iris gradually take over, which must be the combination of ‘lava and licorice,’ while the fragrance becomes more personal. Longevity was about 7 hours, with normal-to-low projection. The positive is that they continue modernizing the Terre DNA, moving away from the original but maintaining the naturalness of their oils and their masculinity. The negative is that the potency leaves you wanting after the first hour. Anyway, it’s very likely I’ll buy it.
8/10.
It follows the line of its Terre d’Hermès sisters, but with a difference that makes it excellent: licorice and bergamot are very present throughout the fragrance’s life. Pepper and coffee give it the base that distinguishes it, but above all, that stone and ‘lava’ are what make it a very good fragrance to wear. Without a doubt, it has become my favorite of the Terre d’Hermès line.
The opening smells like freshly chopped parsley and cilantro… A huge NO.
Honestly, the opening doesn’t win everyone over, but it doesn’t deserve the low rating it has. To me, it’s spectacular. I’ve never been interested in Terre d’Hermès for its aesthetics or scent, but this new flanker aims to modernize the line, perhaps targeting a younger audience without losing its classic profile. After that strange opening, it smells addictive, masculine, with coffee as the star and a slightly dusty note that gives way to a mineral sensation, like a wet rock. It’s younger than its sisters, but perfect for projecting seriousness, formality, and mystery amidst the flood of vanilla and tonka. I’d say it’s for someone 30 and up. It’s versatile, suitable for day and night, though not for intense heat or very casual settings: it calls for a shirt. Longevity and projection are decent, average performance. It arrived in Argentina a couple of months ago at a very high price (almost $200 for 100ml), but you can now find it on promotion at reasonable prices, so at that price, I recommend it.
Exquisite. It has the classic Hermès touch but darker. It’s pure elegance, a bit hard to please for those who like sweeter perfumes or adolescent scents like Stronger or JPG. This is for more mature tastes. MARVELOUS.
Yes, it smells like coffee, licorice, and then the original Terre. I suppose ‘Intense’ is a trend in perfumery to describe something undefined, because the original seems more intense without this one being weak. It smells very good and is addictive (though if I get too close, it makes me want to sneeze), and it reminds me of nothing (1000 points). It’s for late afternoon or night, for calm, enjoyable moments. The dry-down on skin is phenomenal; it has a slightly retro air, but the semi-sweet coffee makes it more modern without going overboard. Warning: DO NOT use in party settings or if you’re going to sweat, because some notes mixed with sweat make you smell three times more sweaty. Is it the ‘lava’? The ‘stone’? Is that what ‘Intense’ means? Smelling like a tiger but with class. In short, if I’m calm, I love it, and it’s better cold. It’s not for everyone and is challenging, especially in the opening which smells like spices but passes quickly while you’re getting dressed. My girlfriend hates it, so I wear it to keep people away. It has its uses.
What a great fragrance. It has a powerful opening. It reminds me of Terre d’Hermès Eau Intense Vetiver but with coffee as the star. It smells elegant and projects well. Up close, it seems wild, very mineral and herbal. It feels like high quality, as this house is accustomed to. It has niche vibes but remains commercial. This is what Devotion by D&G tried to achieve but failed by being a boring perfume pretending to be niche. It can be mature but not vintage. It conveys seriousness, elegance, and good taste. It’s not for partying or being jovial. A young person can wear it if they want to project maturity and professionalism. It brings me memories of burning dried orange peel with sugar, licorice, and the smell of freshly brewed coffee. On very hot days, it can be overwhelming.
Since the Terre d’Hermès original came out, I saw the Intense this year. I thought that since it’s an EDP, it would be the same but stronger, but after using it, I thought, ‘I’ve been scammed.’ I looked up reviews and discovered it’s from the same family but different. At first, I hated it, but then I felt it on my skin and noticed its character and longevity. It has a trail, fresh notes, and citrus and musk that combine perfectly with the tireless pepper that gives it that spicy scent. I already bought another, and a replica with an atomizer came as a gift.
It’s a rich perfume with many pros. It can be invasive, not for enclosed spaces; its coffee and licorice notes are noticeable for a good while, giving it a lordly, potent, and imposing character. However, compared to the rest of the Terre line, I feel it’s different in many aspects and is one of the ones I liked the least. I love the family, but I feel it deviates a bit from what it should be. It’s not bad, just different.
I bought it for the opening: bold, distinct, even sharp. To me, it smells like smoke from chimneys in big buildings, not wood, with lots of pepper and licorice. I can’t find the coffee, nor the instant coffee others mention. When it dries down, the citrus notes become clear, along with the original DNA and the mineral vibe that smells like lava, just as I imagined. Performance is decent (6-7 hours) with a good trail for the first 3 hours. At 19, I wouldn’t recommend this to people my age; it’s more for the 30-50 crowd. If you want to smell different, bold yet elegant, and you enjoy earthy, sharp, and mineral scents, it’s yours.
To me, it smells like rich licorice with coffee and some citrus, but licorice takes the lead, like a boss. It smells like a gentleman, not for a nightclub or young people. It’s better for smelling on yourself or close up; you don’t walk into a room and turn heads—it’s not strong or projecting. I see it for winter and night.
After using it for over a month, my verdict is that it’s overpriced for what it offers. You’re paying for the brand, but the longevity doesn’t do justice to the hype. The ‘Intense’ part seems like marketing; it smells mostly of licorice, with barely any coffee noticeable at first. On skin, it lasts about 6 hours with a discreet trail. It’s a unique aroma, but I expected Hermès to break away from other designers regarding longevity. Try a decant first. Hopefully, they improve this version.
This is a top-tier perfume, but be careful: licorice makes up 90% of the scent and defines the whole thing. It’s strong, clings to clothes, and lasts forever. The projection is significant, so don’t buy it blindly if you’re not into that note, as it doesn’t blend well with the rest. It’s genuine quality, nothing synthetic or alcohol-based. It’s for a well-dressed gentleman, not for parties or the beach.
It has a touch that reminds me of Zara’s Absolutely Dark Intense.
