What does Terre d'Hermes Parfum smell like?

Launched in 2009 by the prestigious design house of Hermes, this luxurious men's perfume has gained worldwide acclaim for its uniquely captivating scent profile.

The top notes of fresh orange and tangy grapefruit create an invigorating and citrusy opening. But the heart note of flint introduces an unexpected and appealing mineral quality. This intriguing combination of aromas is grounded by the base notes of woodsy elements, lush oak moss, and warm benzoin, offering a sense of timeless masculinity.

At its heart, Terre d'Hermès Parfum is a woody, mineral scent, deeply rooted in the elements. The fragrance opens with the zesty freshness of bitter orange, a burst of brightness that feels like sunlight breaking through a clouded sky. The citrus note is sharp, but not overly sweet—it's as though the peel of the orange has been dusted with the earth itself, giving it a slightly bitter, mineral edge.

As the top notes settle, the fragrance transitions to its signature mineral and woody heart. Here, flint comes into play—yes, the scent of stone. It's rare to find a fragrance that captures this element so perfectly, but Terre d'Hermès Parfum does it masterfully. The flint adds a cool, stony quality that contrasts beautifully with the warmth of the woods, specifically cedar. The cedarwood is dry, almost smoky, giving the scent a rugged, natural feel, like wood that has been scorched by the sun.

The base of the fragrance introduces vetiver and benzoin, adding depth and warmth. The vetiver is earthy and grassy, bringing you back to the ground after the mineral airiness of the heart. The benzoin, with its resinous sweetness, softens the composition slightly, but never overwhelms it. It adds just a hint of warmth, like the golden glow of a setting sun over a rocky landscape.

Terre D'Hermes Pure Parfum can be considered an all rounder. It works best in Autumn and Winter on an evening, with it's dirty woody and citrusy notes. But it also works fine during the day, in the Spring and summer too.

Whether you're looking for something to wear in the office, a night out, a day around the city, it works for every occasion.

What Does BLEU DE CHANEL EDP Smell Like?

Bleu de Chanel EDP opens up with a sharp blast of citrus fruit, led by grapefruit, and some fresh spicy notes. Mint, ginger, and pink pepper are there. Underneath all of this, is the warm amber. 

The citrus notes, dominate the composition, but are joined by the spicier notes in the beginning. Then, it will transition more into a citrus, amber, and smoky incense aroma.

It strikes you as sharp and fresh at first, then, it is warmer and smooth. Grapefruit and lemon, when blended with these other notes, can give off almost an orange-like scent at times to my nose.

As we move further along, Bleu, starts to regain some freshness. Not from the spicy notes, rather, the wood begins to emerge. Cedar with some sandalwood.

It comes across as quite clean, with the citrus sitting on top, and floating in a sea of amber. There is some sweetness from tonka bean and vanilla, in the latter stages, that got overlooked during that opening act.

The final part of Bleu de Chanel EDP, is a fresh citrus and woodsy scent. Not as much amber, but the sandalwood is nice and creamy and still paired with that clean cedar.

Bleu De Chanel's performance is as good as a designer perfume can get. Its longevity is good with a very inoffensive projection and decent sillage. The versatility, however, is the greatest. Be it summer, winter spring or fall, formal, intimate, clubbing and even day or night, Bleu De Chanel will serve you right.

With its long-lasting scent and sophisticated notes, it's no wonder that it's consistently ranked as one of the top-selling men's fragrances worldwide. So, if you're on the fence about whether or not to try this fragrance, give it a try and see for yourself.

What Does Tom Ford Oud Wood EDP Smell Like?

Tom Ford Oud Wood has created a complex and tantalizing aroma through its blend of exotic spices, oud wood, amber, vetiver and vanilla notes. 

Tom Ford Oud Wood, an exotic fragrance with a luxuriously warm opening composed of Oud Wood, vanilla and spices such as cardamom and Sichuan pepper blended together with Brazilian rosewood. After about twenty minutes when the initial top notes begin to recede, the distinct middle tones start making their presence known uncovering all the complexity that this particular oud has in store for its wearer.

For a full olfactory experience, Tom Ford Oud Wood reveals rare and captivating aromas of sandalwood, vetiver and an exquisite blend of amber with subtle hints of the famed oud wood. These middle notes provide for an approachable yet bold scent that is well-suited to any setting or occasion, lending itself particularly well when you spray two pumps onto paper in order to let the fragrance develop over time. Its sweet muskiness then wraps up its complex appeal. Creating both warmth and comforting aroma all at once.

The wood-inspired Tom Ford fragrance finishes off with a combination of base notes – Agarwood (Oud), Vanilla, Vetiver and Tonka Bean. Oud's rich smoky scent is complemented by the sweet nutty aroma from the tonka bean and then enhanced with subtle floral nuances that come from adding vanilla for an even smoother outcome. Together these powerful ingredients will ensure your skin remains smelling great throughout day or night as its woody scents linger!

Marketed as a unisex perfume, but it suits men better due to its spicy/woody composition. However, if you're a woman and find it pleasant, don't let that stop you from trying and enjoying it.

Despite being almost two decades old, the fragrance still smells surprisingly modern and professional. Anyone of any age group can feel comfortable wearing this scent.

This scent exudes classiness and would work best for more dressed-up formal events with serious attire. The oud note lacks the bite and performance of a true cold-weather fragrance, making it more suitable for moderate weather during spring and fall days. Due to the limited projection, it may work for summer use on special occasions when you don't plan to stay too long.

Another occasion where this fragrance shines is on a date. The warm and alluring aroma of this composition makes it an excellent choice for a romantic evening.

Sephora: $165.00/100ml (up to 4% cashback)

Bloomingdale's: $140.25 (up to 2% cashback)

Scent Type: Woody

Top Notes: Cloves, Pink Pepper, Orange Blossom

Base Note: Vanilla, Peru Balsam, Cashmeran

How long does Replica 'By the Fireplace'  EDT last? 

4-6 Hours.

What does Replica 'By the Fireplace'  EDT smell like?

Maison Margiela Replica By the Fireplace Eau de Toilette would make people think of burnt marshmallows with their gooey centers dripping out; black smoke tendrils from the charred exterior mixed with the sticky, sweet vanilla interior. The fragrance is enhanced by a strong nuttiness, light spice (the clove doesn’t dominate), and a smooth, woody base. Most of the notes are well-blended and don’t stand out individually except for the cade oil, chestnut, and vanilla.

The pink pepper hit first, but then was quickly swallowed by sweet orange wafting through a campfire where people were roasting their marshmallows, dense fog of smoky vanilla with spiced cloves, and their chestnuts, nutty and hot. The perfume very much delivers on replicating the idea of “By the Fireplace.” Cade oil is distinct throughout the opening and through the first few hours; it was dry, smoky, and tarry, which was what gave it the "fireplace" smell.

The darker, smoky undertone lingered for the majority of the wear, but it softened inch by inch as the fragrance developed on skin as the nutty, woodsy notes intensified and the sweetness became thicker and more resinous with a vanilla-amber swirl. By the fourth hour of wear, it was much subtler, while the spiced vanilla and woods made up the majority of the aroma, which lingered for several hours more.

Macy's: $120.00 (up to 3% cashback)

Scent Type: Woody

Top Notes: Plum, Ozonic notes, Grapefruit, Bergamot

Middle Notes: Hazelnut, Honey, Cedar, Cashmere Wood, Orange Blossom, Jasmine

Base Note: Amberwood, Patchouli, Vetiver, Oakmoss

How Long Does 1 Million Lucky EDT Last? 

6-8 Hours.

What Does 1 Million Lucky EDT Smell Like?

The opening of 1 Million Lucky, is a freshly sweet, warm, and woody aroma. The plum note sits on top and is paired with a bit of honey and a dash of citrus. It actually does have a tart quality, as well, which some may not enjoy.

These sweeter notes sit on top of a cedar wood base that is covered in amber. It's a warm, though, not spicy cloud which has a creamy/nutty quality to it thanks to the hazelnut.

Further along, the hazelnut plays a bigger role. It is there at the start,  but really starts to show later when some of the fruit has burned off.

However, you ultimately get a sweet plum/honey mix as the strongest players within the composition. It's plum, honey, amber, hazelnut, with a little grapefruit sitting on top of a cedar finish.

The very tail end is like a honeyed woods. Maybe a bit of patchouli which aids in the gourmand qualities of the honey and remaining hazelnut. Feels much drier in the latter stages, not the same level of tart/sweetness either. The tart aspects are pretty much completely gone with the degraded plum.

A very nice citrusy sweet scent with woody notes. The grapefruit & honey combo are amazing together. This can be dressed up or down, and it's an easy reach if you're struggling to decide what to wear for the day. 

It's a versatile scent that you can rock on most occasions, any time of day. It attracts attention without being offensive. However, it's best to avoid wearing it in extreme heat.

What Does Scandal Pour Homme EDT Smell Like?

This perfume perfectly captures the essence of modern masculinity with its irresistible blend of notes.

Scandal Pour Homme belongs to the Amber Woody fragrance family, making it a warm and intriguing choice for any occasion. The top notes of clary sage and mandarin orange provide a fresh and invigorating start. As the scent unfolds, heart notes of caramel and tonka bean add a sweet, rich, and slightly spicy dimension. Finally, the base note of vetiver grounds the fragrance with a deep, earthy undertone.

Great attention grabber for folks who want to get noticed. Unusually sweet for a male fragnance. Was unique when it released but market is filled with sweet frags these days. Overall a decent scent with a beast mode silliage and great longetivity.
