Terre D'Hermès Intense by Hermès review

#sotd... Terre D'Hermès Intense by Hermès... This one surprised me. Judging it by the notes, I was expecting it to be a dark gourmand scent. I was wrong... I believe it does teeter the fence between being gourmand and being clean and fresh. While keeping true to the Original DNA and adding the coffee and licorice, this is a polarizing scent to me. Right off the rip, I get hit with the coffee and a quick slight spiciness from the Black Pepper. Going into the mid, the original DNA shows up giving you the fresh and clean smell. This is where the coffee takes a seat in the background for a little bit. As the fragrance progresses into the dry down, the coffee reappears with some woodsiness. This has great overall performance. Strong projection, sillage, and longevity. I refreshed at 9 hours. I believe this can be pulled off all year long with the way it transitions throughout the wear. I give this a 9 out of 10.
