Which Hermès fragrance did Jean-Claude Ellena create and launch in 2006?

Jean-Claude Ellena created Terre d’Hermès, which Hermès launched in 2006.

The fragrance was developed for men and is commonly described through woody, earthy, citrus, and mineral notes. Its name translates approximately as “Earth of Hermès,” matching the composition’s emphasis on land, stone, and fresh citrus.

Ellena served as Hermès’s in-house perfumer for many years and created or oversaw numerous fragrances for the house. Terre d’Hermès became one of the company’s most recognizable modern perfumes and later appeared in several concentrations and related editions.

It should not be confused with Eau d’Hermès, the company’s first perfume, launched in 1951, or Equipage, a much earlier men’s fragrance. H24 is another Hermès men’s fragrance, but it was introduced much later and was created by Christine Nagel.
