Smells like I expected it to
Smells like I expected it to. Smells good. I have received compliments on my smell from wearing Terre D'hermes. I previously purchased two decants of this perfume from two other different sources, as well as a sample of Terre D'hermes Vetiver. My conclusion from my experimentation is: This perfume is gorgeous. I love it. Other people love it. Ladies (at least two loquacious ladies so far) love it. It's complex. It lasts all day. It smells absolutely foul upon first applying it. Expect that. That's normal. That dissipates in the range of a half an hour. While they did not match each other very well, this large "sample" bottle perfectly matches the decant sample bottle that I preferred among the ones I bought. It smells citrussy, grassy, musky, and mixes very well with my natural scent. I use unscented deodorant and otherwise largely unscented beauty products. This perfume works great for me. Your mileage may vary. I recommend first trying a decanted sample of between 1-10ml in a sprayer or dabber to better learn how you feel about the scent and how it wears on you and mixes with your natural scent before committing to buying a larger size.
