Exploring Terre to open up a new territory. An unyielding, frosted veil, capturing a land that has remained intact. Far from dispersing its aromas, this icy cloak fertilises the earth, irrigating its sediments with new and vibrant strength, exhilarating and invigorating. All that is essential comes into play in one silent moment as the land awakens. A blossoming of the constantly renewed life contained within the fragrance.
Exploring Terre to open up a new territory of emotions, Christine Nagel discovers its fundamental freshness: “With this new creation, I wanted to challenge the idea that freshness is synonymous with a certain lightness. I sought to express the intense freshness of a land covered with ice, and the fusion of these two elements, a source of primary, regenerative energy for men.”
The energising frisson of eternal freshness.
In a radiant prelude, the incisive freshness of citron, juniper berry and Timut pepper vibrates on the skin, bringing a prickle of optimism. Suddenly, the powerful sensation of an icy breeze speaks out with perfect fluidity, equal to equal, with the generous power of mineral and woody notes, a concentrate of pure, highly distinctive elegance. The two vital sparks nourish each other, without contradiction. Unexpectedly, the icy tremor brings about the fusion of material, and creates the paradoxical harmony of the whole.
The heat of ice
Charged with nature awakening from its torpor, quivering with energy, revitalised by a life giving stream, Terre d’Hermès Eau Givrée is a reminder that freshness can be synonymous with intensity and surprise. A vital force, far removed from timid minimalism. Expressing this primal Terre, the refillable bottle with its frosted look appears to have been cut from ice, so pure and limpid are its proportions.
The H on its base continues to be an authentic anchor to the land of Hermès, a subtle reference to the lineage of a now-cult object.
Terre d’Hermès Eau Givrée reveals a hitherto obscured territory, a terra incognita protected from the world’s reverberations, where life suddenly reasserts itself.
