Which fragrance house launched Terre d’Hermès in 2006?

Hermès launched Terre d’Hermès in 2006. The fragrance was created by perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena and became one of the best-known modern releases from the French luxury house.

Terre d’Hermès is commonly described as a woody or woody-citrus fragrance. Its note profile is associated with orange, grapefruit, pepper, cedar, patchouli, vetiver, and flint. The name can be translated broadly as “Earth of Hermes,” linking the composition to mineral and natural imagery.

The perfume is sometimes confused with other Hermès fragrances, including Eau d’Hermès and Un Jardin sur le Nil. Terre d’Hermès is its own fragrance line, with later concentrations and related editions. The original Eau de Toilette remains the release most directly identified with the 2006 launch.
